Whoa, Suggestions?

So my mom, on some insanely awesome whim, bought a Wii today. So I'm wondering now, what are some good games to get for it? XD I haven't been keeping up with any of the next-gen systems, so any good suggestions you guys have would be appreciated! XD

Well, maybe you could try out Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii. Those seem to be pretty hot commodities right now. XD

Def. go after Super Smash Brothers Brawl, it is a great game, you will play it for hours and there is also online play. ( FOR online play, if you need setting that up ask me alright.)

Anyways, I would get that, I love star wars so Lego star wars is always a great title to get. Mario Kart if you can actually find/get it. If you do !Awesome! Still looking for me and the girl so we can play it.

Twilight Princess of course, and Fire Emblem if your into those Anime kind of games. And I hear it is really good as well.

Hey any questions about anything wii related would love to help you with!
Have a good one!

I hear Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Sonic and the Secret Rings are some good titles.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For the general family gaming fun, how bout Mario Party? For hardcore intense gaming, try Umbrella Chronicles and No More Heroes... Zelda, Super Mario galaxy and Super Smash Bros are all winners, too...

I played Twilight Princess on the Wii and it is awesome (of course I love the Zelda games) --I liked how you actually move like you're swinging a sword or using a bow.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Crud...too late to suggest. But still, Super Paper Mario is a must, as well as SSBB and Super Mario Galaxy.

Smash Bros., NiGHTS, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Twilight Princess, Zack & Wiki, Okami, and No More Heroes.

All of them are from great to decent, and you should definitely give them a shot.

Choose wisely and dont listen to game reviews just user reviews because you will get burned and buy something awful. Personally the only games I like are sports, fit, brawl, and zelda. Everything else was over hyped or a weak upgrade.

Brawl if you like fighting and training for something and beating something up, without all that blood and all.

Also, Mario Galaxy I hear is amazing! And is a must!

Also, here is a list from wiichat.com
