Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Nickelodeon Fit

Nickelodeon Fit has some fun fitness games geared towards preschoolers with the use of the Nick Jr characters from shows like The Backyardigans, Dora the Explore, and Go, Diego, Go. It is a surprisingly good game and I found even myself really enjoying some of the stuff more than I expected, especially the Giant Bowling with the Backyardigans. However, some of the responsiveness is not that great and I imagine could be frustrating for young kids. For the most part this is not a real issue, but rather a slight learning curve to figure out how to play at the beginning.

The big problem with this game is the constant resyncing you have to do with the balance board. It is totally frustrating to have to do the get off the balance board while it syncs and step on to calibrate thing before doing every single thing. Sure Wii Fit sort of does that, but it is a passive thing of you just standing on the board not the annoying process of be off wait hit a button get on wait and finally be able to play one activity before having to do it again before the next activity.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Sushi Academy

Sushi Academy is a simulation type game in which you prepare and serve sushi. It is kind of fun, but not as entertaining as some other similar type games (i.e. Cooking Mama) I have played. However, I do like it more than computer flash games like this, as the touch screen controls are so much easier for me than using the keyboard and mouse. Overall not really all that interesting, but a little bit of a change of pace from playing other similar games if you are into this genre.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Guilty Party

Guilty Party is an interesting Clue style game. It is fun and challenging with some mini games as part of obtaining the clues. Overall I had a lot of fun playing through the game and finding out the smaller mysteries that lead to solving the major mystery of who is Mr. Valentine. It is a fun twist at the end, although it is obvious who it is in the last mission and you just have to locate the clues to prove it. Major issue is that there is not much replay value and only 7 missions in the first place. Would be nicer if there were more missions.
