Top 5 Nintendo Wii Gifts for 2009 - What You Need to Buy!

Sheryl Nantus
Looking for some great gifts for the Nintendo Wii game player in your family? Well, look no further - I've been a happy Nintendo Wii owner for over a year and I can tell you what video games or accessories you should be picking up!

The first Nintendo Wii gift you should be grabbing off the shelves is the newest game release, the Nintendo Wii Sports Resort! This fast-paced, fun series of games uses a new Wiimote with Wii Motion Plus, which allows you to have greater control over your movement. From Archery to Table Tennis, from Bowling to Swordplay, this game is a great gift for that Nintendo Wii gamer in your family that everyone can use and enjoy!

Right after you pick up the Nintendo Wii Sports Resort, grab yourself a copy of the newest fitness game for the Wii, the Nintendo Wii Fit Plus! Working off of the original Wii Fit, this game expands and improves the depth of the fitness routines, adding more games and allowing you to personalize your workout so that you get the most bang for your Nintendo Wii buck! Didn't buy the original Wii Fit the first time around? No problem! You can either purchase the Wii game itself or pay a bit more and add the Balance Board. Skateboarding, Yoga, running an Obstacle Course - you can do it all with the Nintendo Wii Fit Plus! And you'll be working off those holiday pounds while having fun!

And while you're looking at fitness games overall, grab yourself a copy of the EA Sports active for the Nintendo Wii player in your household! This fitness routine uses special accessories to challenge you through a daily workout that's going to have you sweating and feeling up to the challenge of that extra piece of pie! With thirty-day goals to encourage you, this game is going to be a great gift for those players who are looking to kick it up a notch! It's more fitness-oriented than the Wii Fit Plus, but still a good addition to your Nintendo Wii library.

But wait... if you're looking for a real physical workout for the Nintendo Wii, may I point you towards the Gold's Gym Cardio Workout? Grab a pair of boxing gloves and prepare to box your sweet little heart out! With toe-tapping music to keep you in your groove, this Nintendo Wii game is a great gift for that boxer in the house or someone looking for a new and interesting way to work out. Work out by throwing jabs, punches and work on your foot routines in this fast-paced game that'll have you humming the Rocky theme in the shower!

And last, but not least for the Nintendo Wii Gift giver - check out the cool accessories for the games! Everlast makes a pair of boxing gloves that are realistic to the point that you'll swear that you're really throwing killer punches while doing the Gold's Gym Cardio Workout, while Nerf makes a wonderful set of sports accessories such as golf clubs and baseball bats that you can use while playing the Nintendo Wii Sports that comes with the Wii or the other games that use such minigames on the side. And don't forget to check out the variety of Nintendo Wii swords that can be used with a variety of games!

Picking up a gift for the Nintendo Wii owner doesn't have to be a bad trip to the local store. I've listed some of my favorite games and accessories and I hope you will expand on them to make your holiday gift giving to the Nintendo Wii player a fun and entertaining one!
