Are there any social/party games for the Nintendo Wii? Things that you could easily have 4 or so people play competitively, that would be appropriate for casual gamers or non-gamers or (I hesitate to suggest) my parents?  
thanks

Wi: Sports, which of course comes with it.

Monkey Ball has 50+ mni-games for multiplayer, though they’re hit or miss.

WarioWare comes out early next year and that should make for an excellent party game.

_Rayman: Raving Rabbids_ seems to be the multiplayer minigame/party game of choice, going by the reviews I’ve read. And _Mario Party Wii_ is coming in early 2007.

_Wii Sports,_ though, appears to be the hands-down best way to introduce folks to the Wii. Just make Miis for everyone, give 'em controllers, start Tennis, and say “You figure it out.” 😉

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is 4-player, I think.
