_Mario Kart_ is far and away the most-played game on our Wii, and besides Wii Sports Bowling, the only one we play together.

So the recommendations to date:  
[ul]  
[li]Mario Kart, latest version[/li][li]LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga[/li][li]Wii Party[/li][/ul]  
This is in addition to Sports Resort (which came with the system) and Fit Plus (which is the main reason I got the system).

I’ve also seen references elsewhere to New Carnival Games, as being a MotionPlus-compatible game. Has anybody tried this game?

ETA: Mario Kart comes with Wii Wheel – does the RemotePlus fit this accessory?

The new Remote does, yes. If you have an old one, you need to remove the WiiMotion+ first.

Oh, and I love using the wheel! =)

If you like music games, Samba De Amigo is really fun for two people (and pretty cheap now too, I believe), and Boom Blox 2 is another fun party game.

Thanks for the info, **Red Barchetta**. As I got the Wii last month, it ships standard with a RemotePlus.
