WII Bleg

So this morning, we finally found a WII available for purchase online that was within the price we were willing to spend. It comes bundled with one extra game (Super Smash Bros) that we're planning to return and get a new game for. Any suggestions for a good WII game?

Ah, cool! I've heard the Wii Sports bundle is great and addicting. (There are actually bowling leagues set up at the game store down the street from me.)

Other than that, I don't know anyone who owns a Wii. Sorry.

Also, IIRC, you can also download vintage Nintendo games for the Wii if that's your flavor.

We have Super Smash Brothers Brawl -- it's completely worth keeping s:)

We've also enjoyed:
edit:I forgot! Big Brain Academy! you need this one s:)
Mario Party 8
Harry Potter OOTP
Wii Sports & Wii Play
If you liked any of the previous Legend of Zelda games, then LoZ: Twilight Princess would probably also be worthwhile.

Don't bother with: Elebits, MySims, or Sims 2: Castaway. The first two were cute but don't have much replay value, and Castaway has bugs that can keep you from getting past a certain point.

Which bundle did you get, and where? We're beginning the search today! :)

We found this one at ToysRUs.com. It was $300 (the game system is 250 and one game is 50). We found it using Wiitracker.com (we bookmarked the RSS Feed). Each post has a link to someplace online selling it, what it comes with and the cost.

And according to it, the Toys R Us bundle we bought is still avaliable.

I'd rather buy in store so I get it sooner, but we have a few Toys R Us stores here.

Do the sports games come with, or is that a specific bundle?

Wii Sports comes with all the systems. I'm not sure if the stores would have it, our local store didn't so we got it online. And according to the website, it ships in 1-2 days.

Ahhh, thanks! :)

We're not really interested in Super Smash Brothers Brawl because we tend not to like fighting games.

Probably we're going to buy Lego StarWars or Big Brain Academy. I'm also thinking of pre-ordering WiiFit because that seems fun (and useful)
