Nintendo Wii For 8 Year Old Autistic Spectrum Son Who Is Good At Video Games. Good Game Suggestions?
by admin on Feb.05, 2010, under Uncategorized
My son who is 8 has PDD.NOS (autistic features). He is getting the Nintendo Wii for Christmas. He is very good at video games. He has a used xbox, and a used gameboy. This will be his first new gaming system. What games are not frustrating, and not too violent that he will be successful with? Also could you tell me what games are not good and why? Theses games are expensive, I want to make sure the ones we get are worth it.

Okay just so you know I’m not a fan of the Wii, but I know just what games to get for your kid. Here are the names of the games and a link to a video review about each game.
Good Games.
1. Super Mario Galaxyhttp://www.gametrailers.com/player/27584…
2. LEGO Batman, Star Wars, or Indiana Jones (note: buy only one of them)

3. De Blobhttp://www.gametrailers.com/player/40935…
4. Boom Bloxhttp://www.gametrailers.com/player/33992…
5. Wario Land: Shake It!http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1835/W…
Bad Games
1. Don’t buy games that start with Wii in its title even if it comes with something. The game Wii Sports that comes with Wii is fine, but don’t bother getting games like Wii Music and Wii Play.http://www.gametrailers.com/player/42242…
2. Don’t buy games polished by Conspiracy Entertainment. Those games are the worst games on the Wii. So avoid titles like Anubis II, Billy the Wizard, and Ninjabread Man. They may sound fun, but their not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjabread_… (not a review)

A couple I really enjoyed are Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz and Kororinpa. Both are kind of like those games where you have a maze and a ball and you move the platter of the maze to move the ball to the goal avoiding obstacles. You move the Wiimote to move the platter and both are fun but the later levels can be quite frustrating (classic Ninty then).
Wii Play is probably worth picking up as you get an extra Wiimote with it and about 8 mini games (I forget the exact number). Wario Ware and Mario Party are decent mini game games too.
Hope this helps

try some of the games here. Read about em and then purchase, keep the reciept and boxes and things in case it doesn’t work out. Good Luck! Great Present!

The games that Wii comes with, Wii Sports, are a good bet.
Wii Olympics are good too.
I suggest a fun game like Mario Cart as well, if he enjoys racing games.
