Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

Sometimes I like to supplement my usual exercise routine* with the Wii. Can anyone recommend some good games? To give examples, I like to play Wii Sports Tennis and Boom Blox. Ideally, the games would have a two-player mode, since sometimes my wife and I play together.

*My usual exercise routine consists of walking from the car to Baskin Robbins.

Mario Kart

Super Mario Galaxy (2-player co-op mode where the 2nd player can help grab Star Bits and fire them at enemies and thwart attacks for the other player.)

If you can afford it, the Guitar Hero games. III: Legends of Rock and Aerosmith are $10 each at BestBuy.com

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

Finally got a chance to play BOOM BLOX last night... great game.

Still not great at the controls, but it sure is fun. The wife and I played it for quite awhile after putting the kids to bed.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

Anyone try ExciteBots? Apparently it's pretty awesome and it completely obliterates ExciteTruck, which most people loved.

Maybe after I come down off the cloud that Punchout will put me in, I'll pick this up.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

I picked up Excitebots based on two things, my love of ExciteTruck & the buzz on CAG. Actually someone suggested getting it at TRU. They have a buy 2 Wii games($30+) and get $20 off. It pairs up quite nicely with Wii Pikmin. $50 for both after discount.

All that being said, I've been out of town and haven't tried out either yet.

The Game is a lot of fun! Online is a blast and the only thing bad I can say..I wish it would support Wii Speak.

I thought Red Steel was unplayable, so I will not even think about getting excited until reviews.

Indeed. New levels or not the fun of this is banging the heck out of the bongos.

Exactly.

That is why I passed up on DK Barrel Blast.

Had it been a game for the GCN and bongos I would have got it... but alas...

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

the Gamestop by my house actually has the Nintendo branded Bongos for $1.99! I might pick up a few and get the Gamecube version.

You use the analog stick on the Wii version to move. :/

They should've put a game logo or something at the end of the video.
