Family Tennis

Even if you're the family-friendly type that Family Tennis might appeal to, it's hard to see on the surface how this WiiWare game differs from say, Wii Sports Tennis. Still, there are a few unique modes that may appeal to some particularly tennis-addicted families.

Family Table Tennis

13/03/2009

Get your paddles ready for this exciting 2-player table tennis game on WiiWare! ...Er, no. Not those paddles. Put those away.

Family Slot Car Racing

14/08/2009

You know that slot car minigame they put in pretty much every Mario Party? Family Slot Car Racing on WiiWare is pretty much a whole game of that. No "Comic Mischief" here, folks!

Family Card Games

Witness the awesome power of modern technology as it is used to render the card games Daifugo, Speed and Memory in unbelievable detail. Available on WiiWare.

Battle Poker

Battle against your friends in this WiiWare title, snagging cards as fast as possible to put together poker hands. We're not entirely sure why you couldn't just play with a regular deck of cards, but then things might get violent.

Game Party 3

The third in a series of casual minigame collections on Wii features 19 games, a create-a-player option and a 16-player tournament mode.

Where the Wild Things Are

The first game based on a Spike Jonze film, here's hoping the game can channel the wondrous, scary, and real vibe the trailers for the film promise, instead of being an average kids game. But don't hold your breath.

Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll

The monkeys are back and ready to roll around their balls, only this time you can use your Wii Balance Board to move them around.

Family Party: 30 Great Games Outdoor Fun

Grease

Based on the classic musical film, the Grease game will allow players to sing and dance alongside Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds.

Wii Fit Plus

30/10/2009

Not so much a sequel as a revision to Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus adds new minigames, activities and increased customization abilities. While the game is technically improved, it isn’t any more fun than the original.

Press Your Luck 2010

Based on the warmly remembered 80s game show, Press Your Luck returns in videogame form, we hope with all the Whammies intact.

Hasbro Family Game Night 2

6/11/2009

One of the most surprising hits of last year, the collection of classic board games returns with Operation, Jenga, Bop-It, Pictureka, and Connect 4 included. It's a cute family diversion, but has all the depth of a puddle.

Science Papa

Forget Cooking Mama, Science Papa is here to teach you some chemistry in a set of fun "experiments" (meaning minigames).

Band Hero

6/11/2009

It’s GH 5 but with neon pink gloss and drippy pop goodness. If you like your music sung by Disney princesses and boys with fashionable scarves, here you go.

Family Trainer: Extreme Challenge

25/09/2009

In this Active Life release, you take a casual jaunt through extreme sports, making it much safer for the children. Unfortunately, it's only a cheap and watered down version of the top dog, Wii Fit.

We Cheer 2

The sequel to the no. 1 cheerleading game (yes, it's a genre) is coming to the Wii, so start stretching.

Jungle Speed

13/03/2009

This simple, cute and frenetic card game is fun, so long as you actually have friends to play it with.

Family Glide Hockey

16/02/2009

From the Guilty Gear devs, Family Glide Hockey for WiiWare is far too bland and loose in its controls to make you leave the air hockey table.

EA Sports Active

21/05/2009

This new fitness game for the Wii allows you to customize and personalize your own workout schedule. Plus it's made in collaboration with Bob Greene, Oprah's personal trainer. What's not to like?
