Wii stuff for Xmas

[Pooh's Pixie]

I was wondering what everyone is getting for their Wii this Christmas. I was thinking of Guitar Hero (not sure what I need for that or if I will even find it), maybe the remote sport package (like the nerf one with all the attachments), and definitely some more "family" games. Any recommendations or anyone want to share their plan?

If you have the money, and can afford it, I'd definitely go for Rock Band instead of Guitar Hero. We got GH for the Wii and the kids enjoyed it, but once we got Rock Band that's all they've played since then. Plus 3 (or more if you have 2 guitars) can play it at once, unlike GH and they get to sing and play drums as well (I have a percussionist and a singer in the family so it's great - no real guitar players).

I'd recommend the Wii Fit for you if you're at all interested. It's helped me lose 13 of the 15 pounds I want to. I don't use it that much for the training (although with winter coming I may more), but just having a place to weigh in daily and track what I'm doing helps keep me in line.

Cranium Kabookie was a big hit for our family - it's the Wii version of the board game Cranium. Lots of fun for everyone.

And of course Super Smash Brothers (whatever the new Wii version is) - that's a huge hit whenever their friends are over!

We already got the Wii fit hidden away for Christmas and am waiting for the second edition of Rock Band.

The second edition that comes out Nov 16th I think is wireless were the first one is not. So if you see the first edition it will probably be cheaper too because of the wires.

My kids love Mario Kart. We have Smash Brothers but they don't play it much and my son just bought NHL hockey one with his allowance that he saved and he seems to love this one too.

That's funny because my kids have Mario Kart and have played it all of about twice and weren't thrilled. But anytime any of them have friends over, it seems like Smash Brothers is the one everyone wants to play.

My dd is only 8 so that is the only wii game she can play or wants to play. Probably because we also have it for the game cube.

My daughter and I love mario cart but we both hate super smash brothers- I can't stand that game. I have 2 games put away in the closet that I bought awhile sago for her- can't remember the titles I think it had something to do with a dog. We like Mario Party 8 and Donkey Kong Barrell Race. We have Rock bank and guitar hero and like both of them.
I got my daughter a new nintendo DS Lite for christmas this year, her old one is 3 years old and the cover won't stay up anymore, it slips right down when she is playing it so I will pick up a couple new DS games for her too. All she is asking for is wii games, ds games and an amerian girl doll outfit.

Family fun for us are Mario Party 8, I would like Carnival Games. My sister has that and it is pretty fun.

If I could pick a game to buy for me it would be Price is Right.

I also want to play Star Wars Lego one day. Of course I played Zelda but that is an RPG. It is very fun but also hard. Best puzzle RPG.

Hmm, I will have to look into Rock Band. Sounds good.
We have Carnival games, Mario Kart (they play that one a lot), Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, and a bunch of others. Thanks for the suggestions!
