OK so my dad wants me to go down to walmart in a bit and pick him up a Wii for him and my mom to play. They are like 50 years old and dont really like video games, but he likes the idea of the wii and its controling, sooo...

my problem is: i dunno what games to get him, they need something simple yet entertaining, something they can play together and have fun. I really dont wanna get them a game and have them say how confusing and hard it is to play. I also think that games which require lots of body movement will be more fun for them.

I was thinking:

Mario Kart
Super Mario
and a sports game.

input is much appreciated, thanks!

k yeah thanks for the input guys. anyone know of any mario bundles that have the tennis and the golf and stuff?

i'll be stoked if my parents liked it. when i was in grade 2 i bought my first video game (Diablo) and i got 2 levels in until my dad saw me playing it. He tried it and beat the whole game in like 2 days haha. never happened again, so if i can get that to happen i'll be stoked.

We got a Wii for my grandma last year, and all she ever plays is Wii sports. So Wii sports is by far the best choice.

hopefully you and your parents like the Wii because i know i didnt. i got it the day it came out, hated it, and sold it for 200 dollars profit the next day.

Wii fit, wii sports, and wii sports resort are all solid choices. My grandmother who's 70 started a wii bowling league at the senior center in town, so it's pretty easy to use.

Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart Wii, We Ski and Snowboard, SSX Blur, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (apparently pretty true to the original), etc. I'm just quoting some of the games that I have. Haha
