Before the Nintendo’s Wii console, video gaming didn’t usually imply quality time with a gamer’s significant other. Well, times are changing. Couples aren’t even waiting for a special occasion to go halves on Wii consoles. They’re finding that a new game every once in a while can turn an ordinary night on the couch into a date jam-packed with entertainment. Here are a few titles sure to get couples laughing, strategizing, and enjoying every minute together.
Active Life Outdoor Challenge for the Wii Console
This first Wii game in the Active Life series is a fun way for couples to enjoy an active date even on a rainy winter day. Mii characters are put through the ringer with outdoor events including kayaking, hurdles, trampoline acrobatics, jump roping, skateboarding, mole stomping, and log leaping.
Couples expecting a workout on par with an evening playing Wii Sports or even Wii Fit are in for a surprise. The running, jumping, and fancy footwork required by Active Life Outdoor Challenge are sure to get heart rates up. Best of all, the game does all this through sheer fun. After all, there’s no faster way to kill a date than a video game going on about weight loss.
Couples compete for the best time in single-player mode, or go head to head in multi player. There are even some fun cooperative challenges that get players working together to scale a waterfall or steer a rickety mine cart.
Couples will probably find the mat a bit tight for two adults. As a date though, the cozy quarters work just fine.
Wii Play Bundle With Wii Remote
When planning a Wii date, one splurge might be an extra Wii remote to accompany the one which came with the Wii console. One way to find these remotes is bundled with the game Wii Play for just ten bucks more.
While Wii Play isn’t likely to become a couple’s favorite game, it can certainly make for an affordable evening’s entertainment. Mii characters are prominently featured, and the game does have a fun version of air hockey and pool.
Guitar Hero 5 and Guitar Hero World Tour With Mii Integration
Guitar Hero 5 and Guitar Hero World Tour are the first in this popular rhythm series to let Mii characters in on the game. It’s hard to say which is more fun, watching a date rock out with a plastic guitar or seeing the Mii characters tear it up on screen. While the added equipment such as guitars, drumsticks, and microphones, makes these games a hefty investment as a date night, chances are couples will be using the gear on plenty of occasions down the road.
Nintendo’s Wii Sports for the Wii Console
Though Wii Sports has been bundled with the Wii console for a while, the recent popularity of the Wii Fit Plus bundle might lead to couples missing out on some fun nights of competition. In Wii Sports, Couples’ Mii Characters challenge each other in tennis, baseball, golf, bowling, and even boxing. Other favorite Mii characters couples create make surprise appearances during matches. Players are sure to have fun no matter their athletic prowess.
If couples enjoyed these games, there are plenty to check out. In two related articles, readers can find more of the best Wii games for couples with Mii integration as well as articles on the best Wiiware games for couples to download.
