OT: Wii for Christmas ... what else do I need?

[MickeyMomOfThree]

Wii got Wii for the family last year for Christmas. We bought a couple games that never get touches. The two that is played with the most (by far) are Wii Sports (that it comes with, I am addicted to the bowling,) and Dance Dance Revolution. We bought that for our oldest to keep fit, turns out the youn ger 2 love it just as much (as do mom and dad! )
I really debated Wii, but it was a great decision. We enjoy family nights of bowl-a-thons and dance offs. I do, however, suggest renting or borrowing games if you can, it is disapointing to have $50 games sitting and not being played. (My kids do like Carnival & Wii Play a good deal too, but it spurts, they play it for a while and then they don't for a while.) The nice thing is the 5 games they come with are really good and even if you can't buy more now, they probably won't tire of them before a b-day rolls around and they can get another. If I ranked them in order
1.Wii Sports (the one it comes with)
2. Wii DDR
3. Wii Play (plus it comes with an extra Wiimote) or Wii Carnival (tie I'd say)

As far as fun, we love Wii Fit. I play it almost every day. I love to hula hoop.

Dance Dance Revolution is also fun.

We also like the Wii because of the interactive aspect. I won't just buy a game just because. I want it to be interactive.
