Wii Warm Up: Holiday fun

by Alisha Karabinus { Jan 2nd 2009 at 8:00AM }

Since everyone else seems to like the Wii, too, it stands to reason that at least a few of you out there probably had some Wii-themed multiplayer moments over the holiday season. We want to hear about your all-gamer matches as well as those moments when grandma asked if she could get in on that "video bowling." Bonus points* to anyone who happens to have family video hanging around on YouTube.

Spent new years round a buddy's house jammin' on Guitar Hero.

What fun.

* Many Guitar Hero: World Tour moments in three different locations.
* A bit of Warioland: Shake It
* A bit of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (there are a couple good multiplayer minigames)
* One throw in Wii Sports Bowling
* Two hours of playing Endless Ocean with a 7-year old daughter of a friend, it was very fun but we didn't find a Great White

My wife and I travelled cross-country to see my family this year. On Christmas Eve, me and my two cousins and an uncle got in a nice four-player round of Wii Bowling. My older cousin got his butt kicked by his wife in a Wii Boxing match. Beautiful times! Made it worth all the hassle.

Super Mario Kart (as in, the SNES one) via Homebrew.

My friends and I rung in the new year playing Guitar Hero: World Tour and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Sadly, no video :(

On Christmas Day the Family spent 4 or 5 hours playing Wii Sports after dinner. Mostly bowling and golf but we had a few boxing matches (the video is on my sister's camera sorry). I even got my Mom, Dad, Aunt, and Uncle to play. We also got a few Guitar Hero (world tour and legends of rock) songs in b4 dinner.

The next day my wife and I had the day off so we played Boom Blox for a couple hours and then Wii sports for a few more.

New Years was a different story, only the pre-teens played Wii upstairs. The adults played Scrabble, Rook, and Hands n' Feet (last two are card games). I played the longest, about 6-7 hours of Rook. Although, we had the one side of the family's "christmas" gift exchange and 3 Wii games were given as gifts (all shovelware for the pre-teens) and got a gift card to Best Buy which probably will go to gaming.
