My sister wants to buy some games for my nephew for christmas, hes 8, i was gonna say metroid prime corruption but not sure, any ideas

If he's 8, go for like New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Mario Kart Wii or Super Mario Galaxy maybe.

Pretty much anything Mario sounds like a good idea.

Add NSMBWii to the list, to the TOP of the list!

A couple of other games:
A Boy and His Blob
The recent Rabbids game
About Metroid Prime, has he played MP1 & 2 before? If not, Metroid Prime Trilogy may be a better choice. He's 8, so I don't know if he's to young for it though.

Well hes getting both Wii sports games and im getting him nsmbwii, but thinking dont want every game to be mario, hes never played any metroid games

How about gifting him SuperMetroid and some other classics on the VC? The same amount of money will go a lot further that way.

Zelda: Twilight Princess? Prime can be a bit hard for younger kids.

What about ssx blur, has anyone played it, i was thinking bout sws but its not got a nunchuck option, the controls look better on ssx!

metroid games might be too hard for him. zelda tp might be a good pick. de blob could be good too as well as boom blox bash party. wario land shake it too maybe
