Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Awesome fun! Hey any chance of a "kid friendly" category? My daughter is only 6 but she tires of beating me every night in bowling and would love to play her friend three doors down...be it online or together a "kids" version of this would be great.

If it has been done my sincere apologies - I have only been on this site a few weeks and it has a massive amount of info :) THANKS!!!

I would've moved Rock Band into the local multiplayer section, but a great list otherwise.

Top ten list of Wii multi-experiences...

1. Wii Sports
The introduction to the Wii... you don't know how many people I've roped into getting a Wii by playing this with them. So much hours of fun. Sweaty, aching, fun.

2. Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2
Now I know there's a part 3, but due to 2's slower gameplay, the attacks are far more dramatic. 3's still a favorite, but the memories I've had with this game smashing each other back and forth... destroying cover and hiding... the intense battles were amazing. Even if you don't like DBZ, I still suggest this!

3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Why isn't this number one? Well, I haven't played against as many local friends as I've wanted to... everybody's been too busy for a Wii party. And in all honesty, SSB shines brightest in local battles! I'll see if it can hit number one soon. :)

4. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
Ooh, now this one's a good one! Now this may be scoffed and spat on by many hardcore gamers, but if party games are what you're looking for: The amount of competition and laughs that you gain from this game can easily beat most party games! Even more than Wii Sports! That's right, I said it. Kill me if you want, but this was beyond fun.

5. Ghost Squad
I haven't gotten to try more than 2-player co-op... but even that's fun. Taking down terrorists in an extremely corny storyline is beyond fun. It reminds me of the good ol' arcade days. :D

6. Wii Play
Who didn't get this to get an extra controller? Such a fun game. The games are beyond simple, but the competition brought upon this is intense. You usually hate the other person after 3 rounds, but you KNOW you wanna' go again. This is a great 2-player game... and even greater if you're a couple.

7. Mario Party 8
Mario Parties have been ignored by me for a long time... back when I was more "hardcore" at gaming, the idea of a board game with a bunch of minigames seemed like a joke. But since that little cockiness has dropped, Mario Party is definitely a fun game. It can get really stressful at times... skill and luck. Skill and luck. And trust me, when I cut that rope - I'm the first to go. Ouch. But fun!

8. Bubble Bobble (Virtual Console)
I never expected that this game could be so fun via 2-player! My gf loved the darn game and asked me to play with her... the game could get intense despite its simplicity. And it's cute, too!

9. Bomberman (Virtual Console)
Who doesn't enjoy playing bomberman with friends? Name one.

10. Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
You'd really think this'd be my number one if Super Smash Brothers Brawl wasn't. Sorry I disappointed you again, but this game has scared off many players from trying it. Too many people too scared to embarrass themselves. *sigh* How sad. But I know it'd skyrocket up the ranks if I got to play it with more people.

Why nots:
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 - don't have it :(
BWii - don't have it :(
Zack & Wiki - *sigh*... again, don't have it :(
RE Umbrella Chronicles - don't have it :(
Trauma Center New Blood - *sigh* ... don't have that either :(

I'll get them I'll get them, but I have to pick and choose my games... I'm not made of infinite money, and my money goes to other things than video games. Especially in this month, don't expect me to buy more than 2 games this month. This is one busy month.
