Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This is one of Nintendo’s most popular series of games, and it’s not surprising to see why. A fighting game where four combatants kick, punch and use special attacks to emerge victorious, the real appeal of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is that you play as the who’s who of Nintendo mascots in arenas modelled on some of Nintendo’s most beloved franchises.

So you could be using Pikachu’s lighting attack to put Metal Gear Solid’s Solid Snake on his back with Princess Peach’s castle in the background, or have Mario duelling Sonic in an Animal Crossing setting.

And never fear if you can’t tell your Yoshis from your Bowsers; SSBB is a fast, frantic and fun fighting game in its own right and best played with friends – either on the same Wii system or online via Nintendo’s Wi-Fi Connection.

Wii Play + Remote

Wii Play is a collection of nine mini games designed not only to be a blast to play in their own right, but to introduce players to the Wii’s innovative new motion-capabilities.

These include Shooting Range, Find Mii, Table Tennis, Pose Mii, Laser Hockey, Fishing, Billiards, Charge! (a cow-riding racing game) and Tanks! (a simple tank shooter). Each game can be played by a single player, or competitively with a friend.

Best of all, Wii Play proves to be excellent value considering that it comes with an extra Wii Remote controller – an essential purchase for the Wii’s many multiplayer games.

Mario Kart Wii

The original Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo entertainment system (released in 1992) was a smash hit thanks to a pure and simple formula. It combined well-loved Nintendo mascots and Nintendo-themed tracks with arcade-fun racing. And Nintendo’s been upping the ante ever since.

Mario Kart Wii features 24 Nintendo characters, new items and a selection of fantastic courses to race on. And for the first time, players can race on motorbikes too.

Also new to the Wii version of Mario Kart is motion-based controls, which, combined with the included steering wheel-shaped holder, allows players to steer karts as though they were driving the real thing.

Kung Fu Panda

Designed for the young and the young at heart, Kung Fu Panda on Wii offers an extended romp through the movie and offers plenty of fun and laughs.

Playing as the dimensionally challenged panda Po, you set off on a journey to save the lands from Tai Lung, a nasty snow leopard who’s been eyeing the Jade Palace’s treasure.

An adventure game featuring plenty of mild kung-fu-style fighting, players will be able to unlock and play as other characters (such as Master Shifu and the Furious Five) as they explore the world. Kung Fu Panda also features one to four player mini-games for extended play.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

The Guitar Hero juggernaut continues to (rock and) roll along with the best entry in the series yet. Guitar Hero III offers around 100 new tracks to help unleash the inner rock god in us all, offering everything from metal, punk, pop and good old-fashioned hard rock.

New to GHIII is a much greater number of original master tracks (all the better to play with than cover versions of your favourite tunes) and a new multiplayer battle mode which has you collect power-ups to throw a spanner in your opponent’s performance as you show them how it’s supposed to be done.
