The Nintendo Wii has found a massive following, despite the fact that it focuses far more on imaginative use of the controller than on graphics (which are central to the Xbox and PS3 offering). Or perhaps ... Wii games have been successful because they use such basic graphics? The kids that grew up on first generation games consoles are now earning their own cash and buying their own little slices of otherworldly gaming experience, and a big part of the appeal in Wii games is the old-school look and features. Today we check out some of the games that will be most successful in taking players on a trip back down memory lane ... from Super Mario to Tetris!
Super Mario Bros for Wii
You can still have up to 4 players, it's still a neat traditional platform style game, and even those little brown gremlins look the same! On an Xbox, you'd expect Mario and Luigi to almost look like real plumbers, but this Wii game has a satisfying aura of authenticity about it. There are some cool new features - but it is a very familiar Wii game overall.
EA Sports Active
Even those of us that didn't have games consoles (or any substantial complement of games) for much of our childhood will remember the PC-based version of EA Sports. The new Wii game version is pretty radically changed, simply by the inclusion of the Wiimote and Motionplus sensors. There are a few major changes, like the inclusion of a personal trainer (not really appropriate when you have to sit at a desk chair!), and games like dancing and inline skating, but still very true to form.
