Best Wii game for impaired shoulder/arm

[dreamer423]

Wii gurus, please help...Looking for a game Grampa can enjoy with the kids that does not involves swinging the controller or very much arm movement????

Mario Kart? You use the wii mote like a steering wheel

My L-A-Z-Y teens have discovered that on most of the sports games that come on Wii Play or Wii Sports Resort, (such as bowling, frisbee golf or even tennis) you really only need to flick your wrist - no need to use the whole arm at all.

In fact, when we bowl now, we have to decide if it will be "couch bowling" or regular bowling. So much for a video game that gets them up off their bums.

PS They usually get better scores doing it this way, too.

I write with my right arm but have wrist and shoulder trouble. I can bowl on the Wii with my left no problem. Don't know if he has problem with both arms. Of course there is also Dance Dance Revolution I haven't tried the games on the Wii but I would think trivia games like Wheel of Fortune etc would be fine.

Of course there is also Dance Dance Revolution .

Thank you for the best LOL moment of the day: my 79 y.o. Dad , who had knee replacement AND wrist/arm surgery, would DEFINITELY not be able t manage Dance Dance Revolution!!!!


And he does wrist issue so couch bowling, which we actually discovered last night, might not work. but there is the other hand....
