Wii Play Motion
The original Wii Play is one of the best selling retail games ever made, mainly because it only cost $10 (or R100 in South Africa) more than a controller by itself. It was certainly worth that price as it, along with Wii Sports, were the two games that kept us coming back to the Wii in the early days.
The idea of a sequel must have been in Nintendos planning for a long time, but it took nearly two years after the release of the Motion Plus controller to create its accompanying Wii Play Motion. This game is also a pack-in, being sold along with the Wii MotionPlus at the same price as a controller on its own. As such, its a no-brainer if youre looking for a Wii MotionPlus controller. And if you really enjoyed Wii Play youll find this game offers more content, although its likely you wont find the same freshness in the new game motion control has become commonplace and apart from a few of the games Wii Play Motion doesnt push the state of the art of control forward.
Ill briefly describe the games and my thoughts on each:
Cone Zone balance an ice cream as a giant scoop keeps adding more and more scoops of ice-cream on the top of it. To do this you hold the remote vertically as if you were holding the cone itself. This has a two player mode where you also have to avoid colliding with the other players ice cream. A secondary mode measures how good you are at twirling ice-cream. Verdict: great its basic but immediately satisfying and fun.
Veggie Guardin this is pretty much whack-a-mole. Moles pop up in front of you trying to steal your fruit and you whack them before they do. Every now and then a Mii will pop up instead of a mole, and youll lose points if you hit them. This includes a four player versus mode where players compete to score the most points by whacking moles the fastest. Theres also a Recall mode which is a simple memory game like Simon Says. Verdict: ok its whack-a-mole, and very reminiscent of Start the Party stuff. Its really polished though and fun to watch.
Skip Skimmer skim a stone over a lake. Your throw strength and stone position is measured which determines how many bounces you get. Score the most bounces in five throws to win. If you do well in your first few throws youll get some interesting stones to use. Theres also a score mode where you score points for getting your stone through hoops and landing it in the centre of a target. Verdict: good stone skipping is a brilliant idea and its well implemented here. I particularly enjoyed the Analysis option that replays your flick and rates it, suggesting ways of improving it. I would love other motion control games to do that.

The Nintendo Wii is Super-Awesome — Backpacking Dad
Want her to play Super Mario All-Stars too much (it’s just thumb games, Super Mario Bros 1-3 (and The Lost Levels), with little physical activity and no educational content to make up for that lack; maybe when she’s older).
She’s had a renewed interest in playing games on the Wii over the last few weeks. Until then she was mostly interested in using the Wii to watch shows and movies on Netflix. We canceled our cable television account about five months ago, and part of what made that decision easy for us was that we had the Wii in the living room to access Netflix and YouTube videos for the kids. It is dangerously easy for a four-year old to watch movies on Netflix with the Wii controller. We had to teach her early on how to look for the “Children and Family” row when choosing something to watch; she still checks with us before selecting titles she doesn’t recognize, because she knows we think Batman is “too fighty”.
I haven’t had a gaming system in the house since I was in high school. I have utterly embraced having a Wii around.
My arms are kind of tired now, though.
(As you might imagine, I have a material connection with Nintendo. All opinions above are my own, even though I have every reason in the world to just pass off what a famous brand tells me because they are giving me things. How can you trust me? This is an outrage! You should telegraph Congress about it. You should believe nothing. Except that the Nintendo Wii is indeed super-awesome.) I would be OUTRAGED! Except we have a Wii too, and the kid loves it – and he loves the sports games too, which is nice (and requires less yelling on my part and whining on his part when I want him to play a more physical game). He does have Super Mario, and there’s a definite danger of him playing it too much, but we just try to keep on top of it and he seems to be doing ok.
