[WiiMan96]

[DBloke]

To make it easier to find a certain type

 

[LadyPayne]

Damn, looking at this list makes me realize how good we actually have it on the Wii. There are some excellent games listed.

 

[ToadStar]

Thanks a lot for the list, Prinny.

 

[slymagic]

Anything for a 3 year old?

Thanks for the list, a great help!

I'd like to introduce my 3 year old son to the Wii, is there anything you would recommend?

[LadyPayne]

For little tykes I like to recommend things that promote movement. Things in the sports genre (Sports Resort is particularly fun for kids) or the Dance genre (I've been playing Just Dance 2 lately, quite fun). Kids like to dance around and like music, so dancing games might be the way to go.

 

[Primus]

Great list! Any good recommended games for 2011? I'm trying to broaden my collection.
