I want to get a few more games with wifi play as an option for my twelve year old. I’d love to hear other people’s impressions, especially games to avoid due to hacking/cheating/whatever. Thanks!

I honestly have no idea how much anyone plays games on Wii wifi anymore. Brawl and Mario Kart are your best bets I’d say.

Brawl’s online was always extremely laggy and bad from the beginning. Unfortunately there aren’t many good online experiences on Wii. Mario Kart was the crowning achievement for Wii WiFi and it really was quite smooth and fun, but I haven’t played it since it’s prime and I’m not sure how the online community is five years later and after a newer MarioKart has already been released. I think I’ll try it out again soon though and get back to you.
