Thank-you to everyone who contributed. After perusing what was left at the local EB Games, I picked up Mario Party 8. Its Mii integration and sturdy cast of iconic Nintendo characters eventually swung me.

Also, I figure that this'll encourage them to pick up the (cheap) Big Brain Academy and Wii Play game/remote packs for more multiplayer madness. I guess that's also what swung me away from getting Big Brain Academy. Super Mario Galaxy, Petz 2: Horsez and Zelda: Twilight Princess might have been good if this was just a gift for one of the girls. WarioWare seemed to be trying to hard for that cross-age hip appeal. I liked the idea of Cooking Mama, but it seemed too... stereotypical? I have a copy of it for the DS, and I know it's not quite an "Imagine: xxx" title, but yeah, it still seemed like something that might scare my brother-in-law off.

Thanks once again for your suggestions. Everyone was so very helpful, and I appreciated all of the advice.
