dazzybee Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 My nephew is getting a Wii for xmas and wondered what games would be good for them. Mario Kart and Wii Music will be certs. Also heard Cosmic Family is good for very young ones. Any more?
Guest Maase Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Hum... well, its not hard, there are a lot of Wii games out there that a 3 Years old would like to play, even if we consider it "shit". So, Wii Music, as you said... Maybe Wii Play will be fun for him? Also, give him MadWorld, he'l love it
david.dakota Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 My daughter who is 2 and a half has tinkered with Okami, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Zack and Wiki. By tinkered, i mean she shook the Wii Remote and something happened, she enjoyed it. But they're not games she'd fully appreciate. HOWEVER, she loves, absolutely adores the WiiFit balance games, and some aerobic exercises like jogging and step. Personally, for the wee one, i steer clear of the actual weight management thing.
D_prOdigy Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Wario Ware is what you need, my friend.
Tellyn Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 My 15 month old niece was intruiged by me playing Super Mario Galaxy, so she waddled over and helped me make him jump by hammering the A button. I'm trying to indoctrinate her into gaming. I'd be looking at Wii Remote only games, to be honest, as button prompts on the Nunchuk might prove a little complicated for him. I think that Pop, Helix and Defend Your Castle would be good choices, maybe stuff like Boogie and Dance Dance Revolution too.
Emasher Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Go for Wii music. Wii play could also be good. Maybe carnival games. If all else fails, go with Maase's advice and go for MadWorld. I mean Jack Thompson's lost all power, so anything goes now.
triforcemario Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Try Manhunt 2. Or No More Heroes. And of course, Resident Evil 4 or Scarface. All suitable games for all the family.
Zechs Merquise Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Not to sound funny, but ain't 3 a little young for gaming?
Patch Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Not to sound funny, but ain't 3 a little young for gaming? Why do you think that, just out of interest? I second Wario Ware.
dazzybee Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 Not to sound funny, but ain't 3 a little young for gaming? Why? I started gaming at 3 I think gaming, ESPECIALLy the Wii is a fantastic thing for very young children for building up motor skills, communication; and is way more interactive and positive than watching films or television.
darksnowman Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Cosmic Family being £9.97 in a Curry's near you at the murment.
Cube Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Wario Ware is what you need, my friend. I second this.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Cosmic Family being £9.97 in a Curry's near you at the murment. Its also £9.99 on play.com, just incase you dont have a Currys near by. http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/3305439/-/Product.html?searchstring=cosmic+family&searchsource=0 In regards to the age of gamers, my 2 year old nephew loves to watch me play games. He waddles upstairs and jumps on my bed, I always give him my spare wavebird and he sits and thinks hes playing, adorable! Last Christmas I also taught him how to say Mario, Pikachu, Toad and Sonic. If I put a picture of any of them on google he instantly recognises them. I bought him a Mario and Toad plushie for his birthday earlier in the year, he loves them to bits. Now when ever he wants me to play a game he shouts MARIO! Basically he associates gaming with Mario, my work here is done
Patch Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 ^^ Brilliant! Course, his parents will curse you for kickstarting a childhood of expensive videogame tastes.

dazzybee Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 Cosmic Family being £9.97 in a Curry's near you at the murment. Already bought from Play. The kid is already a Yiddo, bats the DS screens wildly and will soon be destroying my brothers room as he throws the wiimotes all over the shop!!! Can't wait Though I think my brother is more excited, Mario Kart, Bomberman on WiiWare and Tiger Woods are his first purchases!
Coolness Bears Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 My nephew (who is 3) absolutely loves playing Mario Kart on the Wii. he is also pretty awesome at it! :p Great Choice! ^____^
dazzybee Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 What's a "Yiddo?" Spurs fan! The poor kid has so much misery ahead of him!
darksnowman Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Aw man. Poor kid! Won't he want to support a Premiership team? :wink:
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Its also £9.99 on play.com, just incase you dont have a Currys near by. http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/3305439/-/Product.html?searchstring=cosmic+family&searchsource=0 In regards to the age of gamers, my 2 year old nephew loves to watch me play games.

I also wholeheartedly agree with dazzybee's view on Wii gaming for young children.
MadDog Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Aw man. Poor kid! Won't he want to support a Premiership team? :wink: i loled at that Most of the games i could think of, have been said, soooo yeh
Ramar Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 What's a "Yiddo?" It's a racial slur used against Jewish people, widely associated with Tottenham because of their large Jewish following. Not to sound funny, but ain't 3 a little young for gaming? I thought the same thing. Don't get me wrong I played NES at my cousins when I was young, but it wasn't until I was at least 5 that we got a console. I was too young to appreciate the value of an expensive piece of kit. I wouldn't trust a £180 Wii in the hands of a 3 year old.
