Wii for Women

My wife seens to enjoy the Wii bowling, but none of the other games that came with it. I'm not much of a Wii person and having trouble finding games. Anyone know of any games women like? Maybe something like easy exercise or aerobics. Nothing extreme or bloody.

(For you chefs, I did happen on a new one that's about operating your own restaurnant. Might be different types of restaurants. You flip burgers, wait tables, deal with customers, etc.)

Wii fit is all about excersize.I think it's pretty expensive.My 6 yr old loves his wii had at least 10 different games.Most involve Mario and Sonic.Stores around here are loaded with games.Here's linky to Wii Fit.

My wife mentioned to me a couple of days ago that she was interested in Wii because there are games like golf and tennis and there is also supposedly a yoga game. How you incorporate yoga into a video game, I can't figure out.

She actually said that she would consider getting it and would use it with me if I was interested. My PS2 has seen about 3 total hours of use since I got it, so this might be something we can do together. I guess it's better than sitting in front of the tube and watching crappy movies like Sideways which I had to watch on Sunday. That was so sucky that both of us were pissed at the friend who made my wife borrow it.

I do the Wii boxing with my 7 yo grandson. He kicks my azz every time.

I find that the ones that don't involve extreme hand-eye coordination or military operatives are the best. More like a choose-your-own-adventure type game. I don't have experience with Wii, but something based on D&D or with a story may work for her.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Thanks for the advice. I checked out the Wii Fit. It looked pretty cool and I found a Target near me that had them in stock so I got one. I'm not a Wii-er, but I might actually try that one.
