    Wii Fit, I love it, kids love it too. We also have Wii Sports which I think is good keeps you active when you play. The kids also love Mario Cart, more Elijah really Marisa doesnt play it. We also have Mario Galaxy, its a bit tricky for Lijie to work out and has lost patience with some things, I am not a big fan of it. The kids both like Carnival games but the Wii Fit and Mario Cart are their faves.

    We got Carnival Games & Beach Sports for Christmas which are pretty cool. Aaron is totally in love with Guitar Hero & he bought the CD for Guitar Hero Worl Tour as well. We also have Crash Bandicoot. Oh & Aaron has downloaded a few of the old school Nintendo games too like Tetris & Super Mario Bros.

    I saw a game the other day that your DD might like, it's a cheer leader one that uses the Wii Fit board, it has lots of dancing and you can creat characters to play with. I thought it would be fun, but was a bit embarrassed at wanting a cheer leader game for myself

    I got mine for my birthday & Aaron got a pack with rechargable batteries & a charger pack with is great cos I just leave the controllers on the charger all the time & you don't have to worry about batteries. The only concern with it is that you can't charge them with the silicone covers on them, so we just don't use them.

    We 'hate' the Wii now
    BUT with the kids in the house I am sure it ill have a lot longer enjoyment period.

    We especially love all the party games;
    Mario Party 8
    Mario Kart
    GHIII & GHWT
    Raving Rabbids 1 & 2
    Super Smash Brothers
    Lego Star Wars, Indiana Jones & Batman (great 1P or 2P games)
    BoomBlox is pretty fun
    Mario Galaxy is fantastic, maybe not so great for the kids but as adult Mario fans we both loved it and have played it three times over already. We are really only keeping our Wii for the Mario games. It is confusing because of the gravity and stuff but you get used to it. So well done.
    Super Paper Mario was pretty awful, not my cup of tea at all, but DP finished it.
    WiiFit was great while I was remembering to use it but it was sub-par in terms of being useful for an actual routine. Spending too long in menus and not enough on the exercises.

    The thing about the Wii is that it is LEGAL to be modded, which meant that when the dollar was decent we got great prices on NTSC games before they were released in Aus.

    We haven't used it for a while so I am not sure what new games there are but HTH

    Carnival Games has things like, shooting gallery, throwing darts at balloons, a dunking machine thing, throwing hoops onto bottles, you know the hammer thing where you hit it really hard to make the thing go up & hit a bell.... Geeze I'm great with explanations aren't I

    We got ours for christmas

    Mario Kart - my DS is nearly 6 and loves it - it poured here on 27/12 and we spent the day playing it LOL

    SUper Mario Galaxy - my DS is soooo much better than me - he can figure it out, but does need help with the reading sometimes for hints etc - but I dont mind watching him when I need to b/f and he wants to play - i love all the mario games - the colour, the adventures, no shoot-em-ups etc - I think good for younger kids like mine.
    Sports - yeah, ok
