The console does skew more towards kids and younger families, but honestly, there's enough variety and pure good gameplay to make a Nintendo Wii a great choice for anyone of any age who love games.
1. Wii Fit
Careful who you give this too, you don't want to intimate they need to lose weight.This is a blast though, using the Wii balance board and software to keep track of your weight loss goals and to streamline certain exercises. It's nothing you couldn't do on your own, pushups, lunges, yoga, but it does offer input, instruction and motivation. Wonderfully practical, and somewhat engaging "game" that will be a great introduction to fitness for those who often find it boring to work out. Some mini-games to keep the interactive levels high.
2. Animal Crossing: City Folk
Sort of a Sim City for kids, Animal Crossing: City Folk has you build the game.You can do it yourself, with friends or family in your house or even with other friends online. You move into a house, furnish and build it as you like, help to build the town, interact with everyone and everything, and even use the game's microphone to chat to friends over the internet.This game lets kids be in charge of everything and does it extremely well.

3. Wii Music
This isn't like the other music games out there, but it is a wonderfully creative way for kids to unearth the beauty of music. You use the Nintendo Wii controllers by shaking them around in time to either complete tasks in mini games or just to jam with friends.You play everything from the Theme to Zelda to Carmen, loads of classical choices in between. And the instruments? Well, yes, there's guitar and drums, but there's also tubas, banjos, flutes, recorders and even cat and dog suits. Very heavy on the cuteness, very heavy on musical exploration, very big on fun.

4. Ultimate Band
This is like the other music games out there, without all the clunky peripherals and price. Ultimate band plays rhythm-based hit songs from big artists, but just using the Wii controllers to play the songs. Sure it's not as deep or realistic as Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but is essentially the same concept and still offers a fun musical experience in a social setting.

5. Disney's Time Out
Like last year's Smarty Pants, this is a trivia/Quiz game, but, as the title suggests, with a Disney flavour. From the Mouse family to newer faves like Lilo and Stitch and the Lion King (with Aladdin as your host), trivia questions and mini games make this a fabulous way for kids to get into the competitive spirit.More than 5,000 questions are included on all things Disney.
