Default Yay! Weare getting a Wii for X-mas!

Okay, so I was talking to my mom about the kids Christmas presents and she came up with the idea to buy them a Wii. We are not really gamers, except for the occasionnal Dance Dance Revolution and Rock Band/Guitar Hero game at friends and we are thinking that the Wii offers the most interesting games for kids.

So yesterday, my mom ordered this bundle on Costco.ca...



It comes with Wii Sports and Wii Resort and two Wii Motions.

DH would like to buy a couple more games for the boys, who are 3 1/2 and 5 1/2. Right now, I'm thinking that my oldest will play but my youngest might just watch.

So here's my question: what are your favorite games for boys those ages? And for adults?

There is no doubt that we will get Super Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario, but I would really like some suggestions.

Thanks!

We like Mario Party and that one is probably easy enough for your 3 1/2 yr old to play. DS & DH like Monster Jam. I have seen some Diego and pet ones and there are lots of other games, it just depends on what your kids are into

Rent Mario Galaxy before you buy it. It made me sick and I couldn't play it.

Mario Kart is fabulous, get that one.

Mario Kart is awesome! My boys have Mater National and Cars as well as Lego Star Wars & Lego Indiana Jones. They also love the games on Wii Fit & Wii Play. The two Lego games were tricky for my then 4 year old but once he got over his frustration he loved them! I had to do the bits where you have to do a lot of leaping & if you fall off you go back to the begining but he was able to play the rest. Mario Kart gets a lot of play too
