You should be ashamed of yourself!

PS.
Candy is supposed to work better for luring them in. Also, don't forget what Sidwell said: "The Path To A Woman's Heart Is Through Her Bedroom Window With A Choloroform-soaked Rag".
I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off right now. Really, I am.
And D, this is the shmups forum, get her GC Ikaruga :D

I'd suggest Boom Blox.

Second vote goes to Mario Kart.

Also, I can vouch for the chloroform rag / window trick. It works quite well.

Mr. Driller had a GCN release in Europe? Nuh-uh. Don't you mod that girl's Wii, OP. It still needs firmware updates too often.

Having played both the PS2 and Wii versions, I think both are pretty good. The combat is a little awkward on the Wii version due to the motion control, but it's easy enough to get used to after the first several battles.

Other than that, the games are practically identical (except you point the wii remote to paint instead of just using an analog pad).
You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it. I'm prepared to call that cowardice.

Hey D, I'm too ill to read this thread through atm, so I might be repeating what others have said. I have a 9-year-old girl and Zelda for the Wii is easily her favorite. She has spent countless hours on it. Zack and Wiki, Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart are also good picks, but Zelda is much more approachable and engaging for a kid that age.

Since we're including GCN games, I suggest Wind Waker.

It's actually just "Etrian", thanks. :| (also Atreyu is a horrible band, IMO, not my kind of music at all)
wow, that reference went right over your head.

Get her Elebits.

It's suited for both genders and all ages.
It also has a lot of meat to it, opposed to many so called "kid friendly" games, as it’s built on a simple but solid concept.

The game tells the story of a boy called Kai, who has to collect small cute creatures called "Elebits". To catch them, Kai uses a special gravity gun that also enables him to lift and manipulate all kinds of objects.
Collecting Elebits steadily powers the gun up, so lifting entire buildings is no problem after the second half of the game.
It's good childish fun to throw stuff around and look for more and more Elebits within the preset time limit.

Elebits also offers a well planed score mechanic and the stages take up 95% of the game, while the other 5% are picture based cutscenes.
The music is fantastic and unique, mostly calm tunes that fit the nighttime-theme of the game.

I'd also recommend Dewy's Adventure, a fabulous platform game by the same team, but it might be a tad too hard for her.

Elebits had really amazing music in it. Reminded me of the first time I heard the music in Pilotwings. Really sucks you into the game.

I hope you get well soon. Zelda it is.
And silly me, thinking that mr driller would be released outside Japan.
Thanks for all the help y'all.

Thanks, "ill" is really the wrong word. I had hernia surgery and the recovery just sucks.

It's really not. It's kind of like... Well, it's kind of an excuse to get the player to interact with lots of objects in the environment. Interacting with different appliances will cause pikmin to appear. Turning on the tv, putting a dvd in a dvd player, even putting toast in a toaster. The game is all about manipulating the environment. It's really cool as a time attack game, and making your own levels is really fun.

It's really sad when bands appropriate a good name for no good reason.
