And I need to buy the little shitbox a present. She's turning 10 and I was thinking that Brawl would be good but I have a question:

How well does Brawl play with the Wiimote? I'm not going to buy her new controllers to play the game.

And if Brawl doesn't play well with the Wiimote, what other games would you recommend? BTW, first person who recommends Galaxy for a 10 year old girl gets a ban for stupidity.


A friend and dance mate of mine's daughter is 12 and I heard her talking about a wacky japanese kitchen game she likes. Her mother says that the particular sweet the game is about in reality looks slimy and disgusting, but kids love it

Alas I can't give more info about it...

That's it. If there's a Wii to be found in Long Beach after work today, I'm fucking buying it.

I need to, uh, do research. Yeah, that's what I'll tell my wife.

Good luck with that one. Let me know how it goes.

Also if you do actually get one be sure to buy Brawl for yourself too ^_^.


I don't expect to find one and so far, my checking has confirmed that expectation.

Oh, you can bet that I'll be buying both Brawl and SMG for myself if I do find one. Kinda regretting selling my Wii last summer but I can't complain considering the price I got for it and how little I was using the system at that time.

Nintendo's supply constraints are becoming ridiculous. There is absolutely NO excuse for them to still be short on supply 18 months into the console's life. They're just being fucktards at this point.


They are producing more consoles faster than any other console manufacturer in gaming history.... 1.8 million a month.  A record number.  There is quite a good excuse....

What about that Hannah Montana singing game?

Why do people automatically assume that girls would have such poor taste in video games...


Exactly. Fun is fun, no matter what gender or age you are. I'm not going to give $50 to promote more Wii shovelware. I'm buying a good game for her.


 I was going to recommend Carnival games....

Well, if you don't want to buy her a game AND new controllers, and you can't decide which games you like too she could like, how about giving her only new controllers? She could play each game she likes also with friends and you could kick the shit out of her in games you both like (or maybe she could kick the shit out of you )

Is this her first gaming machine? What kind of games does she like?

She's a pretty violent little girl. Kicking the living shit out of someone else is right up her alley, which is why I immediately thought of Brawl. She's not the type who wants crap like Hannah Montana. It would bore her.


manhunt 2? no more heroes? bully would be perfect - just tell her that this game will prepare her to high school ;)

They're producing consoles faster than the PS2 at its zenith? Argh, I still think they're fucktards. Mainly because I want an impulse purchase right now and I'm not going to get it.

Get her Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 or perhaps Zack & Wicki?

Zack & Wikki is one of the most difficult games this generation. If you hate your niece, or want to be forced to play the whole game yourself, that's a good game to get her. Why do people judge the target audience and difficulty of a game by its art style?

Because unless they own the game/console or bother to read reviews for a game that's not on their console, that's the extent of their knowledge.

Mum was just trying to be helpful. ^_^
