Thanks to the Wii console’s innovative controls, more and more couples are getting together to game. And why not? Staying in for a Wii date and some snacks can be an entertaining idea for a relaxing date. With these favorite Wiiware titles which can be downloaded directly from the Wii Shopping Channel to a Wii console, date options have never been cheaper.
Tetris Party for the Wii Console
Here’s a classic puzzle game with a lot of bonuses built into its Wiiware incarnation. For 1,200 Wii points ($12.00) Couples can compare scores or battle each other as those all too familiar blocks rain from the sky. There’s a whole new twist to the game as couples use Wii remotes and even their balance boards.
Jungle Speed for the Wii Console
Couples who can’t resist a good card game will find hours of enjoyment in the virtual version of this ancient game. Believe it or not, 1,000 Wii points ($10.00) works out to a lot less than the actual set of cards.
One couple or up to eight players can compete in the game’s test of observation and speed. The simple rules are the same as in real card play, but the humorous dialogue, tropical mood music, and fun graphics make the Wii a fresh way to experience this game.
Lostwinds for the Wii Console
For 1,000 Wii points ($10.00), couples can cooperate to help young Toku harness the power of the wind and bring peace to his land. Toku’s movements are controlled with the nunchuck and the wind’s by a swirling motion of the Wii remote. Gusts of wind can help Toku jump or manipulate his surroundings.
For couples who have a hard time agreeing on a favorite video game genre, this Wiiware title combines elements of adventure and puzzlers. The top notch graphics will transport them to a fairytale land where they can enjoy escaping reality for an evening or two.
Target Toss Pro: Bags for the Wii Console
Couples who are fans of Wii Sports and similar versions of outdoor sports are likely to enjoy Target Toss Pro: Bags. As the title suggests, 700 Wii points ($7.00) allows players to compete in a simple bean bag toss. There are some elements of strategy to throws that keep the game from becoming dull.
The game makes for a relaxed date activity with two players but as many as 16 can play at a time. Unfortunately, Mii characters won’t be doing the tossing, but this isn’t too much of a letdown since couples only see the backs of their players anyway.
Defend Your Castle for the Wii Console
For 500 Wii points ($5.00), couples can cooperate to help a king defend his castle from hordes of invaders. Up to four players can jump into this game.
Basically, players do a lot of throwing. Cute graphics and a cheap price make for a fun night in, though.
The Wii Shopping Channel is full of games couples will enjoy together, including some more Wiiware games for date nights. Readers can also check out articles on the best Wii games for couples with Mii integration.
