Wii games recommendations for my 6 years old sister.

Long story short, we got some extra money so we want to buy things from Amazon.Com, mom told me to buy lil sis some games but I am not sure which ones would be proper for her. I was thinking perhaps Super Mario Galaxy, but if is too much language-inclined she might have a hard time (she doesn't know English)

Thanks for advance for the suggestions!

I cant think of a game that doesn't have any on-screen directions at all, but Boom Blox is pretty self-explanatory and a great game to play with family/friends. Mario Galaxy is fun, but tricky. She might get farther in Kirby's epic yarn. (It's got a cheesy story that goes between the levels, but it's not vital to the gameplay. If I think of more, I'll post here.

One anti-recommendation: Wii Music. The game got horrible reviews and managed to bore even 3-year-olds.

I don't ask no screen directions at all, but just something easy to manage without them.

Epic Yarn seems exactly what she may want, what about Mario Kart for Wii? And anyone can tell me if the Phineas & Ferb game is good enough? I have read is pretty much, but she's not that good playing so it might take her a while and she's more into exploration (has a lot of fun playing Twilight Princess after I have finished it)

Mario Kart's a safe bet, but it's better with friends. The Lego Star Wars games are great--they translate the movies' storylines into wordless slapstick animated scenes, and the gameplay itself is very intuitive. I'd stay away from Mario games, because they're insanely difficult. Oh, and if she dug Zelda, look into Okami.

Hope this helps!

When my daughter was that age (and even now - three years later) she liked the littlest petshop game and the Barbie games. Barbie pet Show (or something similar) was good because they read all the on screen directions out loud. Also, the Disney princesses game was a hit with her.

Eta: you might be able to find these in your native language.

Some recommendations are:

Smash Bros: Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2
Mario Kart Wii
Ookami
Wii Sports

Elebits is all kinds of goofy, smashy fun, and it doesn't require a lot of English comprehension to follow. It's also got a protagonist who's an elementary-school girl, which may be a plus.

Thank you all for the recommendations, it has helped us a lot. I know she, and I, will be quite thankful.

Albinoblacksheep long ago (when the Wii was new) made a section about flash games you can play in browser that were meant to be played with the Wiimote.

That said, go look at them. They are sadly overlooked.
