Nintendo Wii - best kids games?

r3nu4l

So I've looked at a few sites and recommendations but hoping the good folks on boards.ie can help me.

I have two girls ages 7-10, and a Nintendo Wii.
We have Wii sports and Mario kart and these are loved but the girls don't want to play super Mario Bros or sonic Vs Mario etc.

So any recommendations on games suitable for their age, a bit challenging but also cutesie?

Also, where can I buy these games for a reasonable price? GameStop recycled prices seem outrageous to me!

Thanks in advance.

Kirby's Epic Yarn would seem like the most obvious choice.

It's cutesy personified but also has a very rewarding 2-player mode, plus while it's a challenge to collect all the secrets, you can't actually die.

CEX have tons of Wii titles in stock.
Kirby's Return to Dreamland is also superb, Donkey Kong Country Returns is great.
Also, ExciteTrucks is cool.

Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City ( especially for girls ... )

Super Mario Galaxy 1+2: Not the same as the 2d mario/sonic games. Super cute. Magical. Classics.

All above are nintendo selects, so you could get them new, at a good price.

Banjo

Got 3 girls

They love Rabbids Go Home but they make me play it for them

Animal Crossing, but they fight endlessly about it (3DS version, where they all get their own house, is much more popular)

Mariokart

Not sure if Disney Infinity made it to the Wii, but they loved it, and if you can find it it's dirt cheap these days. Or really expensive because most places literally gave it away so you can't buy it anymore.

We love Mario and sonic at the London 2012 Olympics. Still playing it now, 5 years later! You can choose individual sports (including trampoline, rhythm gymnastics, horse jumping) but we enjoy playing party mode which has cute mini games, quizzes etc. I'm not sure if there was a rio Olympics version but the London one is brilliant.

If you're in dublin irish cancer society charity shop in Capel street has quite a few sealed Wii kids games yogi bear batman, just dance kids are some I recall seeing recently.

Rayman Origins is worth a punt. 4-way multiplayer, a bit more chaotic than the Mario platformers and it's plenty challenging but has, I feel like, 9 billion checkpoints per level.
