So, after spotting a Wii on the cheap today, I bought one. I now have two controllers, Wii Fit, Sports, and Play, and SSBB. What other titles would you suggest are essential? I have two young kids, me (a big kid), and my wife, (also a big kid).

I've seen a lot of Nintendo games mentioned, and I agree with them all. Including Okami, and Zak and Wiki (Though it's not a game for everyone, but if you like point and click puzzle adventured, do it to it!) Not sure if anyone mentioned RE:4 for Wii, but it's a must. Game still holds up, and again the controls are just perfect for that game.



Mario Kart Wii (4-player for 4 kids)
Endless Ocean (Scuba diving glory)
Secret of Mana (Virtual Console, 3 player Coop)

No More Heroes
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles

Overkill (my favourite game again right now)

Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii are the must have games if it's for you, your, wife, and your kids.

I'll add Boom Blox Bash Party. A game the whole family can play cooperatively or competitively with a level editor and unlimited free downloadable levels.

Yep Boom Blox game original cheap or the new one great multilayer game. Super Paper Mario is also a good one for family and dare I say wii fit or wait for wii fit + ithas been used a lot in our house and we have Shawn White for it as well, the balance board is fun as a "bring out when you have friends over" item.



here's my current list of favs

**Wii Retail**:
NPC: Pikmin
Galaxy
Mario Kart
Madworld (obviously not kid friendly)
Zack & Wiki
Punch Out!!
Zelda: TP
Godfather Blackhand
Lego Star Wars
Resident Evil 4 Wii

**WiiWare**
World of Goo
Tetris Party

**VC**
Secret of Mana
SuperMario 1,2,3,World
Metroid & Super Metroid
Zelda's ALL of them
So many other absolutely great VC games its hard to think

**Upcoming 2009**
The Conduit
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Ghostbusters
Final Fantasy: CC
NSMBWii
Silent Hill
NPC: Pikmin 2

I'm sure I'm missing some I want but, that's a great starter list.



Super Mario Galaxy
Mario Kart Wii
LoZ: Twilight Princess
I'd say Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but you should wait for Trilogy later on this year
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Super Paper Mario
Punch-Out!!

House of the Dead: Overkill
MadWorld
de Blob
Trauma Centre: Second Opinion
Trauma Centre: New Blood
World at War's supposed to be good, if you want a shooter before The Conduit

Lots of up-coming games as well to keep an eye on, plus there are many that I'm missing here. If you can only take one or two, make sure you pick up Super Mario Galaxy, as it's probably one of the best games I've ever played, and I'm sure lots of people here would agree.

Haha @ big kid.

Galaxy is a must.

I'll let the others do the rest.

Yeah, well, it's true; biggest kid in the world, me. And, as you suggested, I've just bought Super Mario Galaxy. It seemed rude not to.
