Hey, Angie,
you should consider DDR hottest party instead, which is already out for Wii and
has a broader teen appeal than the mario DDR does. Your big title will
likely be Super Smash Brothers Brawl, which has just been delayed until
February... that game alone will likely keep you buried in teenage boys
everytime you set it up.
Wii play is
fun but is only two players; but Mario Party 8 is quite good and is great for
events for elementary and younger middle schoolers. However, the title you
should not miss for that audience is Pokemon Battle Revolution. Kids can
link up their DS's and play against each other on the big
screen.
One other
great title for multiplayer fun is Wario Ware; lots of bizarre minigames and
great for teens. Madden for Wii is also an interesting twist on the
football control schemes and most people really love it. Finally, consider
Rayman Raving Rabids, which is yet another minigame collection, but very silly,
just a little cool, and usually popular with teens, and Big Brain Academy, which
has even more minigames and some great multiplayer modes.
Good luck and
enjoy!

Our library is looking to get a Wii in January (when
we get our budget monet replenished), and I was wondering if anyone had any
recommendations as to what games I should get. I've already considered
Guitar Hero, and Mario DDR.
We'll be targeting teens and
we'll also attempt to work with the senior groups that meet here during the
week with the bowling.
Thanks for any help!
