anything worth playing?

The last game I bought was Super Mario Galaxy. Granted, a tough act to follow, but just wondering if anyone can recommend something fun. Anyone tried WiiFit?

    Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart are excellent.

    Also, I heard BoomBlox is supposed amazing in an Endless Ocean way (Meaning time flies when you are playing)

      BoomBlox sucked, but I agree on Super Smash and Mario Kart. My top 2 fav's on the system right now.

        I'm so into the Fit (when it comes out) that I've rearranged the livingroom around it in anticipation. Love the free promo DVD I got at Circuit City.

        In the meantime I am totally into Mario Kart Wii (stars on all 50cc courses, moving into the 100cc motorcycles), and I'm still playing RE4 (speed runs, alternate weapons, no upgrades, alternatives like that.)

        Tonight, of all things, I was playing Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Or as my wife calls it: "Sailing, sailing...."

        What was wrong with Boom Blox?

    Here are my favorites of single player (omitting SMG since you played it):
    Okami (and a similar game, Zelda TP if you missed it)
    Super Paper Mario
    Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
    Marble Mania
    Zak and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure
    Geometry Wars
    Trauma Center (great use of Wiimote)

    And the top 3 multiplayer, in order of how often my friends ask for them:
    History of Pinball: William's Collection
    Mario Kart
    Super Smash Brothers

    Also, don't forget these awesome Gamecube titles:
    Viewtful Joe 1&2 (NOT Red Hot Rumble, though!)
    Pikmin 2
    Metroid 1&2
    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
    X-men

    Metacritc.com is a decent review site that conglomerates the scores by most major reviewers. If you pick any of the green-number titles (75% and up) it's a safe bet to be a decent game. Probably the highest scored game there I DIDN'T like was Warioware: Smooth Moves (I loved the art style and idea, but the gameplay just "didn't do it for me") but lots of people love that title.
