Well, today my mom took me off to the side and asked me to buy a Wii for Christmas with my employee discount for the family. I need some game suggestions. I know I'm gonna get Zelda. What else? With my 64 I enjoyed Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and various other games but on the Wii I didn't really enjoy Galaxy or Smash Bros. Had limited play with Mario Kart and it still seemed fun. I've played Madworld which was fun but I wouldn't buy. No More Heros which I didn't enjoy. So I need some suggestions on which games to look at.

Resident Evil 4 if you like the genre.

well for YOUR FAMILY, since RE4 is not a FAMILY game.. lol

get mario kart wii, and Wii sports resort

LOL... I played RE4 on the Ps2. and I'll leave the mini games for my mom to buy. I'll tell her which ones to by so don't stop suggesting them but I'm looking for enjoyable single player games.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Oh then definately super mario galaxy, and OKAMI

Metroid Prime Trilogy.

I can imagine zack and wiki being good when you have 5 or so people trying to figure out the same puzzle.

^ the Wii recommendation guide. enjoy

Don't forget your VC choices! DK series, Mario bros 1, 2, and 3, etc etc etc

You should get the N64 games that you enjoyed so much from the Virtual Console. There affordable and would bring back all the memories you had of playing them so many years ago.
