Forums - Nintendo - So I might get a Wii for Wii fit, what other good games?

Tyrannical on 28 July 2009

Never thought the bathroom scale would sucker me in, but I think my wife wants one. Her friend loves her Wii fit, and my wife already exercises to a 3 mile walk DVD.

 

So what other Great (not good, great) games are there? I already have a 360 and have high standards for gameplay since the Wii graphics are lacking. So for example I don't care about Metroid as the 360 has shooters covered.

I was thinking Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and SM Galaxy. Any other suggestions, great games only?

We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Wii Sports Resort, Grand Slam Tennis, Shaun White snowboarding : Road Trip, Punch Out, Victorious Boxers : Revolution.

Oh, and Wii Play and Dokapon Kingdom also great for party game too. XD

implying high standards for gameplay are doubtful on a Nintendo system.

Asides, since ur married with kids, i assume, get de Blob, Boom Blox, anything nintendo first party, on rails shooters, PES 09, TW with WM+ and atleast one fps (controls will convince u, its not just about graphics).

Metroid is a first person adventure game. Calling Metroid a shooter is like calling the Legend of Zelda a hack and slash game.

Agreed. The Metroid Prime series is almost entirely unique in the gaming world and lumping it in with FPS isn't appropriate and shows a misuderstanding of what the game is about.

So my suggestion to you if you want a great, unique game that is astonishing value, Metroid Trilogy.

Sports games don't really interest me, and I'm afarid I'd fall and hurt myself playing the balance board snow board game.

Hmmm, I am a sucker for light gun games so I might like the rail shooters. I used to like to play Area51 in the arcade with two light guns.

 

It'll probably be the next Wii Fit as I don't think I'll get it till Christmas. Wii Play is another obvious pick just for another controller. Probably one of the minigame collections too.

 

Finding things my wife likes will be tricky as she hates gaming for the most part, and I can't see her playing typical female games like animal crossing.

I say if it has the Nintendo logo in the right hand corner and doesn't have Wii in the name then it is a good game. With a few exceptions (Donkey Kong: Bongo Blast). Also look into MadWorld and The Conduit although you say your 360 has all the shooters you need, so Conduit might not appeal to you as much!
