Do you have little gamers at home? We do and recently more than ever! 🙂 A few weeks ago we received three Nintendo Wii Video Games for review: PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword & Super Mario Galaxy 2! Needless to say, a loud YES!, was heard throughout the house when the boys saw the games. They have been asking for new Wii games for a while so this was a great opportunity for them to test out these games.
PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond
As of the title of the video game suggest, there is a first PokéPark but PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, is a complete different game. PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond has two adventures. Throughout the game you can befriend the different Pokémon, all the different Pokémon have different levels of strength and abilities. The graphics on the game are very nice and the Wii controller performs well. The boys really liked this game, they give it two thumbs up. As a mom, I like that the games encourages teamwork and making friends!
It’s up to Pikachu and his Pals-Oshawott, Snivy, and Tepig-and their unique abilities, to make it through PokéPark, save the missing Pokémon, and discover the secrets of a mysterious new world. Along the way, Pikachu and his Pals encounter and befriend many Pokémon from the Unova region and beyond who will help Pikachu along the way. Experience the fun of activities, battles, Attractions, and more on your quest! Plus, you can enjoy Attractions in single player mode, or challenge family and friends in multiplayer mode. Use the Wii Remote controller in all sorts of ways when playing Attractions, boss battles, and more.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
I grow up playing Zelda, although it has been a long time since I played it and the boys hadn’t until we received The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword video game. The graphics in this video game are fantastic, the storyline & music are great. According to the boys anyone can play this game from basic to more challenging the game can be handle. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was the perfect game to introduce the boys to the Zelda series, great value for the game!
One of the most storied franchises in history soars to new heights. The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword shakes up the tried-and-true adventure game formula and marks a turning point for the franchise. The introduction of full motion controls to the series enabled by Wii MotionPlus™ technology enhances player movements while offering the most intuitive play control of any game in the series to date.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
We have two Super Mario fans here, so I knew that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was going to be a huge hit around here. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of those games that you can play over and over again without getting bored. The boys took to the game really fast, I really like that this game is for the entire family. We like the two player mode, specially for my 6 year old, he tends to get frustrated if he doesn’t know what to do and the two player mode allows him to play along with his older brother. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a great addition to the boys video game collection!
Launch into a new universe of gravity warping worlds in the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time! Yoshi joins Mario as they traverse a wild variety of galaxies exploding with imagination, helping out our hero as he gulps enemies, runs at super speed, or inflates like a blimp to reach high cliff tops. Whether Mario’s leaping into orbit around tiny micro-planets, tumbling through rooms with constantly flip-flopping gravity, or drilling through craggy worlds to emerge on the other side, he’ll need new abilities and serious jumping skills to survive the all-new challenges ahead!
