I am so happy for you guys! James, I absolutely love Super Mario Party 8, and so does my son, and my neices and nephews, it is also a great family game. As someone else mentioned, Mario Galaxy is a lot of fun, also The Legend of Zelda. I didn't like Carnival Games, but my 3 year old loves it, and Wario Ware is also a lot of fun. My husbands favorites are probably Super Paper Mario and Metroid Prime 3.
Our charge station works great, but I have heard bad reviews on it, so maybe they don't all work great? I think it is definately worth the money, because the remotes go through batteries like crazy. You also need extra controllers and nunchucks (I think that is what they are called). I think you said you had a family of 4, so you need one for everyone!
Hope that helps, and I hope you enjoy your Wii as much as we enjoy ours. It is the only game sonsole we own (and we own them all, the 360, the PS3) that we can play as a family. |
