Which of these Wii games should I get?

I'm buying a Wii on ebay, but to keep costs down, I'll be selling some of the games it comes with. So... which am I best keeping out of:

Warioware Smooth Moves
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz

I gather the first two are just loads of minigames, which puts me off a bit, but they're probably more accessible to my very casual gamer wife.

Any thoughts?

Smooth Moves is actually pretty good.

Good introduction to the Wii-mote.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Mario Strikers: Charged!
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Trauma Center: Second Opinion

Smooth Move is absolutely brilliant - especially that race baton one, where you and a partner runs and jump over man holes.

Very fun indeed.

Monkey Ball sucks to be honest, the Gamecube versions are much better.

I dont have Rayman, but Warioware is fantastic fun! And the missus loves it.

Out of those, SMBBB.

They're all quite short games really IMO but Wario is probably the most fun with the crazy Wiimote moves.. followed by Rayman. Those Rabbids are awesome

I'd agree. Wario is good, better minigames, but Rayman is 'more' of a game with more different sort of games on it. I wouldn't sell either. Can't advise on SMB.

Super Monkey Ball is the worst of the 3. My son kinda likes it, but it's probably played the least out of all his games.

Bucking the trend, I think I prefer Rayman over Warioware. Warioware has what I'd call microgames, whereas Rayman has minigames, i.e. they're a bit more in-depth but they're still clearly minigames. Visually, Rayman beats Wario too... although obviously gameplay is always more important than graphics.

That's not to say that Wario isn't a good game, as it is... just I prefer Rayman (even though it got worse reviews than Wario). As long as you don't go for SMB then you'll be OK.

I didn't like wario, 10 seconds game, too stop start for me. I traded it in for Mario Striker.

Wario Ware is a fantastic game, my little sister wanted a new game so i recommended that to her and she loves it, great fun in groups.

also Mama's cook off is pretty fun solo game.

Seems a bit of a wasted thread, why not play all three and sell the two you dont like?

For what its worth Id probably say to keep Rayman.

Rayman is the top game on that list for me. Those rabbids are just so damn funny and the games are all great fun.

...and after playing Rayman for a while, my biceps are now bigger than Arnold Schwarzeneggar's!
