Couples are discovering Wii dates in droves. Playing a favorite game time and time again can be fun, but exploring a brand new game together is a blast. Wiiware games downloaded directly from the Wii Shopping Channel to the Wii console might just be one of the best ideas for a cheap date. Here are some favorite titles that cost far less than a night on the town.
Brain Challenge for the Wii Console
Brain Challenge is a puzzle game for couples who don’t run from a little mental stimulation. Pleasant doctors guide Mii characters through the mini-games which are grouped into five categories: logic, memory, math, visual and focus.
Couples can either play games in any order they choose, or take a challenge set by the game several days in a row to track their mental progress. As if the challenges weren’t enough, a stress test mode throws in distracters like bugs crawling across the screen to make things even more interesting. Multi-player modes and a 1,000 Wii point ($10.00) price tag make Brain Challenge a great option for a Wii date.
Fun Fun Minigolf for the Wii Console
For just 900 Wii points ($9.00) couples can minigolf long into the night. As they put through the game's 27 holes, they’ll appreciate surprisingly excellent scenery. Options include easy, moderate, and challenging levels as well as three courses themed after Asia, Europe, and America.

Toki Tori for the Wii Console
For 900 Wii points ($9.00), couples join a cute yellow chicken on his quest to rescue his brothers and sisters still in their eggs. The game holds 42 levels, and each is a challenging brain teaser. Couples can cuddle up and put their heads together for several fun dates of puzzles at their best.

1,000 Wii points ($10.00) can pull off a killer evening for someone whose date enjoys a good strategy game. In Swords and Soldiers, Aztec, Viking, or Chinese troops battle to the death with their own collections of weapons and spells.
A multi-player mode allows couples to fight it out and a challenging single player mode lends itself to cooperative strategizing. This may not sound like a typical chick game, but cartoonish graphics, fun music, and comical dialogue can keep both sides of the couch interested.
