    Mario Kart. It's a blast.

    The girls really love Wii Fit as well. The dancing of course, but also jogging, hoola-hooping etc.

    It's true there are way too many games trying to simply take advantage of the novel platform, hoping the fun is in swinging the remote, etc.

    My 7 yo son still much prefers the PS3.

    There's quite a lot of good first party games and a few third party games on the Wii.

    The Legend of Zelda
    The Mario franchise
    Guitar Hero

    and some underrated gems like Zack and Wiki and Okami(which was originally on the PS2)

    But look at the majority of games for the Wii and DS. They're all casual and "instructional" games. There's a veritable flood of utterly stupid games with hidden nuggets floating here and there.

    I havent played mario kart for the wii, but every game system you can buy today you can get guitar hero for.

    but for as much as my mom considers the wii a family console i dont see her or my dad playing it much. i think they have played it like 4 times. once playing bowling and 3 times playing golf.

    It gets old really quick when the 4 of us play 9 holes of golf and it takes 2 hours

    I found using the wii fishing game to be expensive.. Putting the wii on the end of your pole and casting it out makes no sense to me, but since my buddy told me that's how it's done I gotta believe it! And to this date, I've yet to catch a fish!

    wii games aren't marketed or made for the metacritic crowd.
