OT-WII games for 4 year old boy

[lady_hlh]

I wanted to get our 4 year old nephew a WII game for his birthday this month. I don't know which games are good for that age and we don't have a WII so I'm not very familiar with it. I know that they already have Mario Kart, Guitar Hero and Are you smarter than a 5th grader. My 7 year old DD loves Cooking Mama for her DS and it is very simple but I didn't know how hard it would be in the WII version.

So far we've only tried Wii Sports (which comes with), Wii Play (wouldn't buy except for remote) and Mario Kart. Mario Kart has been a hit despite the fact that so far my kids only place last. But they still love it and are getting better every time.

The first one that comes to mind is a Diego game...(he's Dora the Explorer's cousin, FYI). Very easy actions, my now almost 6 yo DS loved it at that age.

Also, there is a game with simple puzzles and things called Cosmic Family. Not quite as much fun (not a familiar character like Diego), it's still pretty good. And that one will last longer--Diego is too easy for my son now.

My 5 year old dd and the whole family likes Carnival Games.

Wii Music is a lot of fun. DS 2.5 doesnt get it but loves shaking the motes to make music.

My sister has a Wii and my kids love going there to play with it. My DS loves all the sports games. I'm not sure of the name of it, but its an Olympic one. Also, they have Lego Wii Batman, Star Wars etc.

I can't wait to buy one for our house!

We just got Boom Blox. It's basically knocking down towers of blocks by throwing balls and is lots of fun. It seems like it would be a pretty good beginner game.
