Red Steel 2 w/ MotionPlus

To round off the top ten Wii 2010 games list are games scheduled for release later this year just in time for the Christmas season:

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Disney Epic Mickey

Metroid Other M

Mega Man 10

The Legend of Zelda Wii 2

We’ll report more on these titles when the 2010 Christmas season comes along!

You pretty much cannot go wrong with any game title that has Mario on the box.  Mario is pretty much the face of the Nintendo franchise so you know that anything associated with him is kid friendly.  It is therefore no surprise that his mug dominates the top ten Wii games for kids.

1. Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel

This Wii racing game got heaps of praise from the critics and gaming fans alike.  It is kid friendly and will also hold the interest of experienced gamers as well.  Why?  Because it is just a lot of fun.  There are a lot of different tracks to choose from, play as different characters and race a variety of vehicles.   For the first time ever in this game’s history, you can race motorcycles as well.   Mario Kart Wii also comes with a racing wheel that is easy to navigate for little kids.  After all, what kid doesn’t want to pretend to drive?  Just wait until he or she gets older!

2. Super Mario Galaxy

Here’s another game for new and old fans of Super Mario.  This time, he’s out in space trying to find the perpetual damsel in distress, Princess Peach.  Enjoy the twist in this 3D game as Mario explores galaxy after galaxy where gravity rules do not apply.  As you progress in the game, Mario will also don specialty suits to progress in his quest.  The funny animation is utterly charming.  You will also marvel at the backdrop of the graphics as it is absolutely spectacular.   Who says that Wii games have bad graphics?  Super Mario Galaxy certainly dispels this notion.

3. New Super Mario Bros.

The New Super Mario Brothers game should bring back a lot of nostalgia for old fans.  This is the game that started the Mario craze except this time it has been brought over to the Wii with a lot of new tricks up Mario’s sleeve.  First off, there is simultaneous play.  That’s right, player 2 does not have to wait until player 1 goofs up.  The New Super Mario Bros. supports simultaneous play of up to 4 players.  This is what makes the game great as families can play together.  Parents can relieve their memories of a classic game while making new ones with their kids.

4. Animal Crossing: City Folk

Animal Crossing: City Folk is a departure from the usual action oriented arcade games.  This is because Animal Crossing is a real life simulation game.  You live in a little town and you interact with your animal neighbors.  There’s not a bad guy in sight.  There’s always something to do as you run around town doing errands in exchange for money.  Then, you can buy things for the house and such.  It sounds simple but it’s a lot of fun as well.  There’s just something about creating your own little world and the need to improve it that makes this game addicting.  It’s a suitable game for the whole family.

5. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga

There is just something utterly charming about Lego characters portraying “real life” characters.  The real life characters in this case being iconic Star Wars characters spanning all the six movies of the prequels and sequels.  That’s a long time… which is why both parents and kids will enjoy this game.  Parents will relate to Star Wars from their age and kids will relate to the Star Wars of their generation.  One warning however.  There is some cartoon violence so perhaps this game is best suited for slightly older kids 10 and up.

6. Wii Sports Resort

When the original Wii Sports game came out, I remember watching a Youtube video of a kid playing Wii tennis.  This kid could not have been older than 4 years old.  That’s how easy the game was to play.  Talk about kid friendly.  In this sequel to the Wii classic game, we have Wii Sports Resort.  There are more games to be played and you guessed it, it’s at a resort.  Included in the game are 12 activities, with two of them being updates to the original – golf and bowling.  The 10 new activities include: swordplay, wakeboarding, frisbee, archery, basketball, table tennis, power cruising, canoeing, cycling, and air sports.  With this roster of activities, no doubt you’ll feel so submerged in your game play that you’ll feel like you’re at a family resort!

7. Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board

Here’s another update to a Wii classic game.  In the original Wii Fit, it taught families how to get off the couch and exercise while having fun.  In the Wii Fit Plus sequel, there are 15 new balance mini games as well as new strength and yoga activities.  The emphasis this time around is on customization of routines and you can create your own routine based on your objectives and the time you want to spend exercising.  There are many more features including enhanced multiplayer game mode and pet profiles.  The family that exercises together, stays fit together!

8. Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree

If you like to spend quality time with the family and boost your brain power,  then the Big Brain Academy is for you.  This is a mental game for all ages and it is a big motivation for little kids to get medals after completing their mini games.  The different levels for solo mode in this game are easy, medium, hard, and expert.  You can also put your brain power to the test in multiplayer mode.  In this mode, you can select mind sprint, mental marathon and brain quiz.  Since this game allows for eight players, you can get the whole family playing in teams or separately and battle for bragging rights on who is the bigger brain!

9. Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2 with Dance Mat

Dance Dance Revolution is a good game to have whenever you have a gathering of people and this includes family members.  The moves that your relatives can pull off might shock you and put them in a whole new light!  Whether you are a good dancer or not is not the point of this game.  The point is to participate and join in the fun!  This is a must have party game for the whole family.

10. Wii Rock Band 2 Special Edition

In the post for the Top 10 Wii Online Games, I had picked Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit for Wii Deluxe Kit as the music playing game to get. However, there really isn’t that much difference between these two quality, outstanding games. It is a matter of personal preference. That is why I’m picking Rock Band 2 as a Top ten Wii game for the family. Who knows, by playing this game you might discover some hidden musical talents in your family.   Can you imagine being the next traveling family band?

Even though the chosen 10 best family Wii games are numbered in this list, they are all great games to play.  Some might be geared more towards slightly older kids, but the games are designed for good clean fun for all family members.

What makes the Wii console so popular is because it is easily accessible to everybody.  You don’t have to be a hardcore gamer; you don’t need a fancy television to enjoy the graphics.  The fun lies in the participation and having fun with family and friends.  With that in mind, here are some best picks for Wii games for Christmas.

Wii The Beatles: Rock Band Special Value Edition

This is a must get for the Beatles fan on your shopping list.  This Wii version of the Beatles: Rock Band merges the world’s best gaming console with the world’s best band.  Play and sing along to the greatest Beatles hits. You can get this game with the software only or the Special Value Edition which includes the Rock Band Guitar, Rock Band Drum Kit, Microphone, Guitar Strap.  And if you’re a super duper fan, then there’s the Limited Edition Premium bundle the Höfner Bass controller, The Beatles branded Rock Band Drums, Microphone, Microphone Stand, and Special Content.

Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board

If you have a fitness buff in your family then this is the perfect gift as it will help shed the holiday pounds.  The original Wii Fit game propelled the Nintendo Wii console into a best seller as it was a natural fit to exercise with a gaming system that can sense your movements.  This popular game is back for an upgrade with six new strength and yoga activities and 15 new balance games in time for the Christmas season.   The Wii Fit Plus also offers many new features such as multiplayer and also customizable workout routines.  This is another must have flagship Wii game.

NHL 2K10

Despite the extra long playoff season, hockey is a winter sport. However, if you decide it’s too cold to be outside playing hockey, give NHL 2K10 a try. The Wii version of NHL 2K10 offers better gameplay than on other consoles with the refined motion sensors of the Wii MotionPlus. It also has great online multiplayer game play so you can invite your friends to play and trash talk them with the provided WiiSpeak support.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (Wii MotionPlus Bundle) (Nintendo Wii)

This holiday season, practice your golf swing indoors with the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.  If you read the reviews for this Wii game, you’ll find that this is the most realistic golf game you can play without actually stepping onto the greens.  This is in no small part due to the MotionPlus sensor that you can buy either separately or comes bundled with the game.  With this MotionPlus sensor, you can add to the base remote so every wiggle and waggle of your club is felt.  Other improvements to the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 game is that there are new tournaments and courses to play and you can challenge other golfers with expanded online support.  Another cool feature is that you can play in real world weather conditions by turning on the Weather Channel option.  This game is destined to be a Wii classic.

New Super Mario Bros.

New Super Mario Brothers Wii – Speaking of classics, what is more iconic for Nintendo than Super Mario Brothers?  In this new Super Mario game for Christmas, it’s a throwback to what made this game great but with simultaneous multiplayer support of up to 4 people.  Play as Mario, Luigi, blue Toad, or Yellow Toad.  There are more than 80 levels, more power ups, and better graphics!  This game is great for nostalgic reasons but it also holds its own in today’s gameplay.  Come on, it’s Super Mario Brothers!

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games – If you can’t get enough of Mario, then you can catch him again in this video game console crossover of Nintendo and Sega characters just in time for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. For Nintendo, you have these characters represented: Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi. For Sony: Sonic, Knuckles, Miles, and Amy are featured. There are many other characters that both Nintendo and Sony fans will be familiar with. With these characters, you battle it out for Olympic glory in various winter sports such as speed skating, bobsled, and downhill skiing. This is a great game to get for Christmas and also get into the Olympic spirit at the same time.

Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes is based on the cartoon show.  Let’s face it, there’s just something that makes you giddy swinging the Wii Remote as a lightsaber.  You can play as the main Jedi characters like Anakin, ObiWan plus others or you can play as a Clone.  You can choose to hack and slash your way with your lightsaber or go play a shoot ‘em game with blasters.  There’s also droidjacking as you use your Jedi mind tricks to control a droid’s movement and weapons system.   The Force is strong with this one.

Super Hero Squad

If you want a fun filled beat ‘em up type of game, then Marvel Super Hero Squad might just be the game for you. There’s a host of 200 well known Marvel super hero characters to choose to play including Spiderman, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor and Ms Marvel. It’s a great game for comic book fans or a way to introduce new players to the comic books as well. You can play either adventure mode or battle mode but the point is clear: fight, fight, fight!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex

Finally, the best selling game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare comes to the Wii. This game lives up to the same faithful standards as on other consoles in single player mode. In multiplayer options, it also keeps its game modes such as Search & Destroy, Domination, and Freefall. There’s also Squadmate mode in which a friend can drop in to help out on a mission by using a Wii Zapper or another Wii Remote. The game controls can be fully customizable to user specifics. The graphics engine has also been upgraded for the Wii and the number of online players has been expanded from 8 to 10 from the previous Call of Duty World at War. Wii owners will be very happy to get this long awaited game into their collection for Christmas.

Spore Hero

Another long awaited game to make its debut on the Wii gaming system is Spore Hero.  This game is a Sim-like role playing game in which you create your own “spore” hero by collecting parts as you go on your adventure to save the planet.  You can play in story mode or versus a friend in multiplayer mode devising creatures from your wildest imagination.  The Spore Hero franchise is relatively new but it is a unique, fun and imaginative game with lots of replay value.

As we all know, doing the same exercises over and over again gets boring and that is why we need a variety of routines to keep us motivated. Also, everyone has different fitness levels as well as personal preferences on how they like to workout. Keeping that in mind, here are top ten Wii fit games.

If we talk about the fitness games suited for the Wii and the balance board, we have to refer back to the original developer itself which is Nintendo and their sequel to the Wii Fit which is the Wii Fit Plus.

1. Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board

This sequel to the Wii fitness craze expands on the original by adding six new exercises in the yoga and strength as well as adding 15 new mini games. You also get a better workout than the original as you can customize your personal fitness routines and lengthen the time of your workout which was lacking before. Improved multiplayer mode has also been added to this version.

2.  EA Sports Active

It might be hard to believe that another company can dethrone Nintendo as the de facto Wii fitness program. However, EA Sports Active might have done it in what is described as gym in a box. These workouts are demanding and really make you sweat. While EA Sports Active is great for the burn you need, the Wii Fit is great for yoga and balance exercise. The two exercise programs together make a great combo.

3. EA Sports Active: More Workouts

Just like Wii Fit expanded its title with Wii Fit Plus, EA Sports Active leaves no questions as to what EA Sports Active: More Workouts is about. Expect more innovative games/exercises in this latest installment. Thirty-five new exercises and stretches have been added which include water skiing and paddle surfing.

4. Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout

Gold’s Gym is a famous gym franchise but now you won’t need a membership if you have this Wii game at home. Get ready to break out in a sweat as this is an intense cardio boxing game. The controls work well as you punch your targets and duck oncoming ones as well. Spend the points you earn by completing exercises at the gym store and dress up your character.

5.  Yoga

One of the best things about Wii fit games is the fact that there is something for everybody. Not everything has to be high impact but there are low impact games like the Yoga for Wii game. This title has three modes for game play: story mode in which you go from a beginner to a yoga guru, training mode where you learn new poses, and routine mode where you go through user or game prescribed routines.

6.  The Biggest Loser

The Biggest Loser is a reality TV show that helps contestants lose weight. Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels are the trainers. When you buy this game, it’s like they are your personal trainers as they provide workout routines and nutrition tips. It’s nice to workout with someone you are familiar with on the show and this gives you extra motivation. You can also lose weight with a friend or family member in multiplayer mode and see who really is the biggest loser in terms of weight each week.

7.  Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010

Again, if you are a fan of the TV show the Biggest Loser, you might also want to pick up Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010. In this game, you enter boot camp Jillian style. Expect high intensity and grueling workouts but great results for a better body and a healthier lifestyle.

8.  My Fitness Coach

My Fitness Coach is another highly rated Wii fitness game. The fitness program is completely tailored to you depending on a fitness test you take when you first start the game. No balance board is necessary and you can use items you have around the house. After each workout, the virtual coach Maya asks you how you feel. Based on your answer, your next workout routine will adjust accordingly.

9.  Active Life Outdoor Challenge

With Wii exercise games, just because you’re indoors does not mean you can’t virtually do outdoor challenges. The Active Life Outdoor Challenge takes a unique approach to getting in shape by letting you be a real outdoorsman or woman. Jump over logs, go river rafting or go on a mine cart adventure. There are many more exciting mini games to play and an active life mat is provided as well.

10.  Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip

If you are looking for another great outdoor adventure, give Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip a try. This Wii fitness game makes great use of the balance board as you work the same muscles as you would if you were out on the mountains for real. You can explore the slopes of Canada, Chile, Switzerland, Japan and Park City while doing tricks and stunts. This is a very realistic game and if you have ever wanted to try snowboarding but were afraid of the real thing, give this game a try.

This concludes the top ten Wii fit games. As you can see, there are lots of great games to choose from to keep you motivated to work out. Regardless of your fitness level, there is a Wii fitness game for you.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros Brawl is very simple in its execution of play but packs a lot of fun.  The ease of the controls and the moves executed by the characters are easy to learn allowing everyone a fair chance in this fighting game.  You can use a variety of control inputs whichever suits you best.  There is a roster of 35 characters to choose from that goes beyond just Nintendo characters.  Other third party characters like Sonic the Hedgehog also make an appearance.  Up to four characters can play and the goal is to knock your adversaries off the screen.  This game can create a lot of fun chaos which makes it perfect as a party game or an online Wii game.

Call of Duty: World at War

If you are looking for a realistic, gritty World War II shooter game with fantastic multiplayer support, then Call of Duty: World at War is it.

The Conduit

The Conduit is another first person shooter game for the Wii that offers excellent multiplayer online support for the Wii.  The story takes place in Washington D.C. with the intrigue of invading aliens, government conspiracies and undercover agents.   Where this game shines is in its online gameplay as up to 12 players can join in the action in death matches or team matches.  You can also chat on Wii Speak with friends and players on the same team.  Another standout feature for this game is the ability to customize your controls to suit your gameplay.  This definitely is one of the best Wii FPS out there for your library.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3

If you are in any way familiar with Japanese anime then no doubt you have heard about Dragon Ball series.  This cartoon show lends itself well to a video game because the series revolves around martial arts.  Lots of different characters are introduced and you can find them here with a roster of 150 playable characters.   The online game play allows you to connect with other Dragon Ball fans in the world so it’s a must have if you’re a fan.

Mario Strikers Charged

Mario Strikers Charged is a soccer game… or is it?  Sure, the game takes place on the field and the opposing sides try to score more goals than each other but that’s where the similarity to soccer ends.  Like other Mario “sport” games, there are power ups, crazy skill shots and if you’re the captain, a mega strike shot that shoots up to six balls at the goalkeeper.   This game is definitely intended for online game play as the zany factor just increases the fun.

Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit for Wii Deluxe Kit

With music playing games, there’s only a sliver of a difference between Rock Band and Guitar Hero titles. However, when you factor in online mulitplayer gameplay for the Wii, then Guitar Hero World Tour gets the nod as the best music playing title. The game allows you to jam with your friends online or compete in an 8 player “battle of the band mode” with two full bands going head to head. It’s just good fun for the whole family.

Animal Crossing: City Folk
