1UP’s Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Wii

Holiday gaming gift suggestions for that special someone on your shopping list.

With Sony’s Move and Microsoft’s Kinect out, Nintendo’s Wii may not have the same “wow” factor it once possessed, but you can always count on Nintendo to offer fun games that everyone can enjoy. No matter how old (or young) you are, you can’t go wrong with Kirby or Mario. And hardcore gamers will find a lot to love with titles like Goldeneye, Monster Hunter Tri, and Metroid: Other M.

  ESRB Rating: Everyone	Developer: Nintendo

  Its time to save the princess… again. While the game is more streamlined than past entries in the Mario franchise, Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn’t disappoint. Justin Haywald says, “This sequel to Super Mario Galaxy takes everything its predecessor did and maintains that urgent sense of wonder and discovery, creating a world that copies its past self, yet keeps the freshness that made it so exciting when the first game debuted two years ago.”
