Wii games for kids are among the top sellers for kids this year and are sure to be a hit through the 2008 holiday season and well into 2009.
However, it is important to know before you buy: not only which are the most popular wii games for children, but also which are appropriate for children of different ages.
Here’s a list of Wii games for kids that will not only be a sure hit, but are also appropriate for little ears and eyes:
1. Nintendo’s Mario Kart for Wii – This is the newest “Mario” game to be released, and kids all over the world love it. It comes with the Wii Wheel, which when combined with the Wii Remote makes a true steering wheel that is motion sensitive and easy to use. It also makes the driving more realistic and is a must for this game. With Nintendo Mario Kart for Wii, players actively help Mario and his friends compete on the various race tracks that come with the game, as well as compete in an arena environment. Lots of fun for kids, and is appropriate for kids of all ages.
2. Lego Star Wars for Wii – The Complete Saga – This game is classified as “E-10”, for children over 10 years of age.. It is a Star Wars game that allows players to play all the episodes (movies) of Star Wars, but it is played with Lego characters. That element doesn’t detract from the excitement, but it definitely adds a level of fun. (There aren’t many things more fun to watch than a bunch of Lego/Star Wars characters fighting each other – good vs. evil!) This game is great for kids, but as mentioned above it’s specifically for children over 10 years old due to some mild violence in the game.
3. Super Mario Galaxy on Wii – Mario arrives in the galaxy and rockets from planet to planet to gather the precious stars that will save the lovely Princess Peach from Bowser, the well-known “evil” character from the Mario game series. This particular Wii game has been one of the most popular for over a year and continues to be loved by children around the world. It is appropriate for children of all ages.
4. nintendo wii game remote control – This Wii game is just as popular with adults as it is with kids, but it has earned its ranking as one of the most popular games for kids in 2008 and 2009. The Nintendo Wii Play with Remote game series is more along from the traditional (“old”) video game lines, with a modern twist of great graphics and some more modern new games for fun. Although the games are more traditional, they are certainly not lacking in fun and will keep entire families entertained and playing with each other for hours.
5. Outdoor Active Living Challenge for Wii – This is one of the newer games for the Wii and is specifically designed to get people off the couch and physically active in gaming. Active Life Outdoor Challenge normally comes with its own mat, which is used for standing, sitting, jumping, etc. Go ahead as you brave the rapids in a kayak, jump logs, and more highly active outdoor activities, all from the living room of your home. Appropriate for children of all ages.
If you’re looking for Wii games for kids that are sure to be a hit, any of the above is a sure bet and will most likely be a big hit with the kids so they keep having fun for a long time to come.
