1) Both.
2) Monster Hunter Tri... or any of the Lego series 8D Lego Batman, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter... yup.

Remote and nunchuck is the safest way if he wants to play with someone else, just in case the game needs a nunchuck.

I don't know any games for the wii though, I don't have one

Uh.... not a huge expert on Wii games. But Epic Mickey just came out and that looked pretty cool.

Also, Okami if he doesn't already have it.

wii doesn't have that many great free-roaming games :S obviously mario galaxy 1 and 2 are a must for any wii-owning mario fan, and the second player for that doesn't need a nunchuk

also excite truck is IMO a really underrated wii game and it can be played 2-player using 2 wiimotes; I think it didn't get as much praise as it deserves because it doesn't support 4 players like most multiplayer wii games

That looks PERFECT for him. He loves driving around crashing cars in those drug dealer games. Thanks, man.

well me and my boyfriend have one wii and qe play it a lot xD video game addicteds
for one start you can get two wii remotes and two nunchucks wii remote and with a nunchuck are able to play a lot of games.
it have some other crontols, but for a start it is good.
and for the second question, i know a lot of games, you can get for him, mario world, mario party, super smash brawl (this one is just awesome) some of sonic is also nice, like sonic unleashed, mario kart.

i hope that it helps ya ^^

You could let him try the Trauma center series :D

it's called trauma center because it gives you brain trauma while playing it

Hey....
I liked those games 030

are you asian irl

Yeah ~
Why ?

He's a meanie :P

I liked those games for the DS and I'm not Asian.

... Never beat either of them, though.

I dunno the only people I have known to beat it are asian

I want to enjoy them!

My sister beat it and she's not Asian.

I thought the game was quite easy...
Except from Pempti :)

How young is he? Depending on his age, Kirby's Epic Yarn might be a good choice for him.

I would recommend both remote AND nunchuck. A lot of games use both.

kirby's epic yarn is a great game regardless of age imho

Oh, I agree totally. However, I also know that many kids get into an age where they're "too cool" for anything cutesy, regardless of how well-made it is. So he might not be old enough for it yet, potentially. ;D

He's 21, but he's mildly developmentally disabled. He's also personally stated he has "no shame" as long as it's a good game.

Then I definitely recommend Kirby's Epic Yarn. It's not exactly what you'd call challenging (unless he's the sort of gamer who likes to obsessively collect every little bit and bob or endlessly customize things, in which case it's pretty absorbing), but it's one of the most charming games I've ever come across.

Looked that one up, it does indeed look great.

1. Probably both

2. I hardly ever get to play mine, but there's a game called Tornado Outbreak that's pretty fun.

*hugs Super Nintendo protectively* Everyone else into vidja games my age seem to have their Wiis and 360s and PS3s. Puh. XP

I'm entertained by shiny things XD

Shiny things are always fun! :>

Hmm.. Mario galaxy is a nice pick. New Super Mario Bros may be the best Mario choice as one can play with 4 people in the same time. All use there remote only & use it as a old NES one to. I want it so bad that game. xDD

The Zelda Twilight princess game is a lot like Ocarina of Time but a bit more darker yeah. In the beginning of the game is pretty hard & limited but once you get through it, your free to run around going to each dungeon whenever you see fit. lol I bet your bro may have that game already though. =P

Both a wii motion plus and a nunchuck. Epic Mickey, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, (arcade type shooter) Sin & Punishment, Metroid, Twilight Princess, and omg Okami.

Should mention that Epic Mickey comes out the end of the month, the 30th.

Another Motion controller and New Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Galaxy (there's 2 of them), are pure win and allow some free running around, but the 2-player part is .. weak.

New Super Mario Bros Wii is FUCKING HILARIOUS AWESOME in multiplayer, no matter your age. If you suck at it, it doesn't get any less fun. You only need the normal pointer, not a nunchuk, though it can be played both ways. Alone it's a semi-retro mario platformer, but when we played it 2 or 3 together we were laughing a lot. It doesn't allow much free running, although.. there's level selects.. it's a lot like the ol' Mario games that way.

I also suggest getting a Classic Controller (Super NES style) if you ever think he might be up for grabbing retro games off the Wii Shop.

Zelda, Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong Country, any of the Lego (X) games, Super Smash Brothers.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

You can use 3 different controllers with it (gamecube, wiimote, wiimote with nunchuck, and maybe another accessory)

It plays with 4 people at a time it's Co-op all the way through

IT'S AWESOME and you can play it a million times and not get bored (believe me). Great story (can be co-op) awesome graphics, and amazing play.

Even not-so-game-savy people can play it

YAY PUTTING MY GAMING KNOWLEDGE TO USE

Anyway, first off, yes, both. You'd need a remote and nunchuck for most games, so getting one would be nice.

As for the second part, I highly agree with  freebird

Okami for the win. It has a set storyline, but there are countless hours of free-roaming to be done and, at least for me, plenty of replay value. Other than that, there are the failsafe Mario games and Kirby's Epic Yarn(Also try the new Donkey Kong Country and DEFINITELY Epic Mickey, that one sounds about perfect for what you are looking for). Other than that, there are plenty of good multiplayer games for if he wanted to do that, like Super Smash Bros Brawl and things like Wii Music(Which I had a lot of band-geeking to do on that game with my three old band-geeky friends). The Wii is best for multiplayer games and that sort of thing, honestly, it's a real good 'party' system.

@_@ Phew. Sorry, I am regurgitating info at this point. I just got off of work and I work at Gamestop. :C Gamestop + Black Friday... BAH

I hear you . . . gotta love retail. I feel like a wrung-out dishrag.

I feel like a a robot with joint pains... and like, a broken recorder. Put together. I'm in pain and repeating myself a million times. "Hello, can I hale you with anything? Have a great day! My pleasure!" And so on x.x

lol hale. That's a Frudian Slip if I ever heard one XD You know what I meant.

As a video game and computer game addict I can be of great help.
Firstly, you'll want him to be properly decked out so he can play his games with as much freedom and variety as possible.
This means he should own at least 2 wii remotes, 2 wii nunchuks, and 1 nes controller for wii.
Next, you should get him games that are popular and multiplayer online and/or offline. I don't have suggestions in regard for this but it should be a priority when getting the following games.
Zelda Twilight Princesses is solo game that is amazing. Super Smash Bros Brawl is solo multiplayer online&offline with the options to make custom levels and countless characters and replayability. Of the mario games the Mario Galaxy 1&2 have a high difficulty so only buy them if he enjoys a challenge. New Super Mario Brothers on the other hand is simpler and has options for multiplayer and even character selection. The Monster Hunter Games mentioned previously are also a good series of games for those who enjoy a game that is combat based & economy/crafting based that revolves around the players soley but offers multiplayer online options.
Finally if he likes Pokemon be sure to get Pokemon Revolution.

Well . . . I'm not rich. He's go to rely on Santa to deck him out properly XD

When looking at Wii Remotes, try to get a Wii Remote Plus. It's got the little motionplus accessory built into it. Recently released, I think.
