Until recently, most people would say that women just didn’t like video games. You can consider the explosive popularity of The Sims 2 as partially responsible for the gender divide among video gamers. Today, according to sales trends, the Nintendo Wii leads the world market as America’s favorite video game console. If your favorite lady doesn’t already have a Wii in her living room, consider buying her one as a gift she’ll enjoy (and really, this is a gift you can enjoy together!) And don’t forget to give her an assortment of video games. Here is a list of some of the best Nintendo Wii games for female gamers:

If you grew up during the heyday of the original Nintendo console, then you probably have fond memories of games like Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda. One of the cool things the Nintendo Wii did was bring back some of their most popular games and update them. And judging by the popularity of these updated and past-based video game series, it was also a smart move for the company. Amazon customers rate New Super Mario Bros. 4.5 out of 5 stars overall.
Other types of Wii games that you may like are fitness games. Wii Fit Plus is another favorite among women. You can pull out your balance board, ankle and wrist weights, or yoga mat for an interactive workout. One of my favorite features of this game is its customization, which adapts your training from day to day and tracks your progress. Similar fitness games on the Wii console include Gold’s Gym Dance Workout and Zumba.
There are several dance video games available in the Nintendo Wii format. Some of them are more geared towards kids like Dance Dance Revolution, but more along the lines of adult games include Just Dance and Dancing With the Stars. Both get great marks based on Amazon customer reviews. If you go with the group consensus, Just Dance gets slightly higher ratings than Dancing With the Stars.
Does she love music? Do you love to sing? Have you always wanted to be part of a band? If so, then singing games are perfect gift ideas. Whether you decide to go with the Rock Band or Band Hero series, most of the fun is getting the notes and timing right, and mastering how to play the instruments. Or maybe the new Def Jam Rapstar game is more your speed. What you will love about these games is the quality time and fun you can share with friends and family.
