Gaming Wii for my parents - anything missing?

[rhyguy]

you said super paper mario twice

you should get one minigame type of games for parties and such

 

[blizeH]

Oh! So I did

But yup, not sure whether to go for Warioware or Rayman though.

Cheers for the Trauma Centre recommendation, but I've heard it's really hard so won't be any good for them really.

coop should help a bit. wii definitely needs more coop games. maybe take it out as a rental and see if they like it

Mario & Sonic Olympic Games

Great game realy a must have...

Why order 2000 pts card? the games you can buy ol are not realy a must have but if you want to surf on your Wii (what imo sucks) you still need pts to buy it....I bought mine early then the I-net channel was still for free but I never use it.

 

[blizeH]

Many thanks again for the replies, not sure about Mario & Sonic really, apparently it's quite inaccessible.

Not sure whether to get Super Paper Mario, arggh! How good is it for people with pretty bad gaming skills?!

 

[ziddey]

i'd still recommend getting them trauma center new blood (the new one)

coop play can make it a little easier. a lot more fun too. and surely intense at times. really gets you going

 

[Seccom Masada]

If Trauma Center is anything like the DS game, the later missons get retardedly difficult. Not exactly for someone not too into the gaming thing.

For Sonic & Mario, I'd wait for the price to go down; it's not really a $50 game, y'know?

Wario Ware is awesome albeit short single-player wise, but it's easy to unlock everything, at least. As for the other group you mentioned, either one of the three seems like a decent choice.

 

[blizeH]

Awesome, cheers again guys. Definitely going to avoid Trauma Centre, I'm sure it'll be great fun in co-op but also quite limited if they can only play the first few levels! Will give Sonic and Mario a miss too.

Retro, you'd pick Warioware over Rayman then?

 

[blizeH]

Sorry, bump!

Quite tempted by Excite Truck and Rayman, is Warioware fun or just silly!?

 

[Mangofett]

For games: Warioware, Excite Truck and/or Galaxy.

These accessories wont hurt:

oh and a classic controller if your dad has a history of early gaming

 

[blizeH]

Bah, one bump in two years of posting and I get a warning

How long will that last for?!

Cheers for the links Linkiboy, my parents TV doesn't have component though (almost every TV older than two years or so in the UK doesn't) and have just bought some energizer fast charge things since I bought that exact charging dock for my friend and he said the controllers fall out all the time

You've been double posting ever since you started this thread and yesterday you did a "Sorry bump" and then another again today. Unfortunately being new at modding I trashed the earlier posts wrong so they don't show here but they do show in the staff area.

You can request a removal of a warning in a couple of weeks I guess and that will be removed if we know you are truly sorry, which you seem to be. Its best to accept it and move on.

 

[blizeH]

Ahh I see, in that case I do apologise, and if it's only a temporary thing that's fine, I just had it in my head that it'd stay there forever and everyone would think I'm a moron (not that I'm anything else, but

)

Just curious, how 'wacky' is Warioware? I've seen an advert for it on TV and it just looked a bit confusing and overly stupid, and not really that much fun

Edit: Edited your double posts together. - Ace

 

[Ace Gunman]

It's really just a collection of fun little mini-games. It can be whacky, but really no more than the Raving Rabbids series. Oh, and stop double posting, blizeH.

 

[blizeH]

Sorry, wasn't meant as a double post, but I just thought it'd save me creating a new thread you know?

Thanks for the info then, still not really sure which my parents would prefer then, but I really can't see them enjoying stuff like the 'hoopla' mini game

Endless Ocean is very good
