We already published the list of best Wii games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best Wii party/minigame games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the Wii definitely has a great library of party/minigame games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the Wii and party/minigame games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#25. Wonder World Amusement Park
- Release Data: Coyote Console/Majesco, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
While some of the minigames can be repetitive, a few of the five rides feel like the real thing.
In Sky Cannon, you are shot through the air and make like a wild acrobat in the sky.
In Castle Terror, you’ll see spooky things as you race.
#24. Six Flags Fun Park
- Release Data: 7 Studios/Ubisoft, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Six Flags Fun Park is not a terrible game, but it’s not really a good game either.
If you’re an adult, you might not enjoy it, but children will most likely do.
If you’re a parent, this is a cheap, family friendly, decently fun game targeted towards kids.
#23. Furu Furu Park
- Release Data: Taito Corporation, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
It’s all goofy and mildly humorous, although the gaming variety isn’t as diverse as the games themes.
Furu Furu Park’s simplicity makes it perfect for kids, and it isn’t so bad that an adult can’t enjoy a game or two.
Just don’t pick it up expecting to have your Wii skills put to the test.
#22. Neighborhood Games
- Release Data: Jet Black Games/THQ, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Overall, Neighborhood Games is a package that isn’t terrible, nor is it remarkable in any way.
The mini-games that are included are fairly simple to play and could have been a lot more fun if the controls had been fine-tuned.
Conversely, while the controls can be frustrating at times, they don’t completely ruin the experience, especially when playing with friends.
#21. Toy Story Mania!
- Release Data: Papaya Studio/Disney Interactive Studios, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Fans of the movies, Disney, and carnival-style games will find a lot to like about Toy Story Mania.
Its loyalty to the franchise along with its accessible gameplay will make it an endearing addition to the Wii library.
Everyone else, however, might feel disenchanted by its repetitive gameplay, problematic motion control, and overall brevity.
#20. Carnival Games
- Release Data: Cat Daddy Games/Global Star Software, 2007
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Carnival Games reproduces the real world experience of going to a carnival decently enough and has enough in it to entertain players who won’t touch the game too often, so this is definitely a case of a game with mediocre quality that is still well built for its intended audience.
#19. Bomberman Land
- Release Data: Racjin/Hudson Entertainment, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
The thing is, if you can dig through the problems that plague Bomberman Land then you can find a decent collection of mini-games to play through.
And, if you don’t have the patience, then you can simply fall back on the proven old Bomberman game where you try to explode other bombers in a closed room rife with power-ups.
#18. Wii Play
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2007
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Wii Play really focuses on helping people get used to using the Wiimote.
The game isn’t very deep, but it does give an idea of how the Wiimote is used for various motions and activities.
It will hook the casual gamer and open them up to all the other games available on the Wii.
#17. Wii Play: Motion
- Release Data: Good-Feel/Nintendo, 2011
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Though the game lacks depth, it is, however, a good introduction to the controller and a decent party game for kids.
For those who already have their fair share of Wii Remotes, Wii Play: Motion isn’t worth getting.
For adults, the collection of minigames isn’t that bad and are worth playing a few times before being shelved for better titles.
#16. Pac-Man Party
- Release Data: TOSE/Namco Bandai Games, 2010
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Pac-Man Party is quite a surprising party game.
The minigames are as good as some of the Mario Party games offered, while the board game elements are more engaging than most party games.
If you’re in the market for another party game, Pac-Man Party is a pretty good choice.
#15. Mario Party 8
- Release Data: Hudson/Nintendo, 2007
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Mario Party 8‘s biggest issue is that it relies too often on elements of random chance, which might prove frustrating for more competitive gamers.
That being said, if gamers are able to look past these issues, there’s still a great party game to be found that’s made all the more fun thanks to the intuitive Wii remote.
#14. Hasbro Family Game Night 2
- Release Data: Electronic Arts, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
EA might never be able to truly replace the beauty of sitting around and playing a great board game with your friends and family, but they do a good job of refreshing the classics with new game modes and ideas in Hasbro Family Game Night 2.
Grab some friends and have some fun with this one.
#13. Go Vacation
- Release Data: Namco Bandai Games, 2011
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Go Vacation is a title where the games are easy enough for younger children while still being entertaining for adults, and each Resort is vibrant and colorful.
And the best thing is that none of the games feel like they’ve been shoe-horned in for the sake of being included; they’re all entertaining and control well.
#12. Squeeballs Party
- Release Data: Performance Designed Products, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Squeeballs Party is a title that doesn’t aim to innovate in terms of Wii technology.
Its promise of 150 mini-games is deceiving; with most games being derivations of a single type, and unlocking extra games is a chore.
But its colorful presentation, lovable characters, and overall solid execution makes Squeeballs Party worth trying out with your friends and family.
#11. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
- Release Data: Ubisoft Montpellier/Ubisoft, 2007
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Visually speaking, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 flows a lot better than its predecessor.
The animations seem to be more refined, and the effort gone into superimposing the Rabbids into real life footage is fantastic.
But the greatness of the game only lies in its multiplayer mode. Definitely get this one if you intend to play it with your friends.
#10. Asterix at the Olympic Games
- Release Data: Etranges Libellules/Atari SA, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Asterix at the Olympic Games is a pretty decent game.
Fans of the series will probably be satisfied with what it has to offer, which is a mixed blend of both third-person adventure gaming and a couple handfuls of sports mini game action.
You should definitely get this one if you’re a fan of the source material.
#9. Wii Party
- Release Data: Nd Cube/Nintendo, 2010
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
The library of Wii minigame collections is oversaturated for sure, but don’t let that stop you from checking out this entry from Nintendo.
Few games pack in so much variety and charm while remaining accessible and, most importantly, fun.
If you own a Wii but don’t have a party game, Wii Party is a title you’ll want to have.
#8. Let’s TAP
- Release Data: Prope/Sega, 2009
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
It’s an interesting collection of games, and while it would benefit from more variety and a more solid rhythm mode, it’s generally fun to tap along to, especially with friends.
No, it’s not a game that’s going to keep you playing for hours at a time but it’s been expertly designed for occasional casual multiplayer sessions.
#7. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
- Release Data: Sega, 2006
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz serves as a great proof of concept, making some great, varied use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
The length of the single-player game and the inconsistent quality of the multiplayer minigames are regretful, but the highs are high enough to make this one of the most highly recommended Wii party games.
#6. Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party
- Release Data: Ubisoft Paris/Ubisoft, 2008
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
This title can be easily recommended to any fan of the series, or to anyone who enjoys playing fun minigames, alone or with friends.
It’s cute, funny, clever, and the controls are all very responsive and tight for a collection like this with so many different games to build.
So, if you’re interested in some lighthearted minigame fun, go get this.
#5. Mario Party 9
- Release Data: Nd Cube/Nintendo, 2012
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Mario Party 9 is a resounding success on so many levels, adding plenty of extra variety to differentiate itself from previous entries, whilst also learning important lessons from the limited-yet-fun Wii Party.
In short, Nintendo has delivered a party title that will appeal to veterans and newcomers alike.
#4. Rayman Raving Rabbids
- Release Data: Ubisoft Montpellier/Ubisoft, 2006
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Rayman Raving Rabbids succeeds because it finds creative and very funny ways to make the Wii’s motion-sensing technology work for it.
It features a nice variety of games to play with, and it stays entertaining thanks to some great humor.
If you like mini-games and crazy rabbits, the chances are high that you will love this game.
#3. WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase
- Release Data: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo, 2010
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
If you’ve enjoyed WarioWare D.I.Y. and are looking to further the experience, WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase is the perfect compliment to the already outstanding DS title.
Not only are there 72 new microgames to enjoy, but the ability to upload your DS creations to your Wii and enjoy the games on your TV makes this a nice alternative.
#2. Disney Guilty Party
- Release Data: Wideload Games Inc./Disney Interactive Studios, 2010
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Overall, Guilty Party is an impressive party game.
A lot of effort was put into creating an experience where both young and older players could join together and not feel alienated by the concept.
The ingenuity behind the cases mixed with the ability to play every part of the game with four players make Guilty Party a title worth playing.
#1. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
- Release Data: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo, 2007
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
The WarioWare franchise is great for lightning-quick gameplay sessions, and Smooth Moves adds motion controls into the mix.
There are well over 100 different micro-games to try, and each one will have you using the Wiimote in interesting ways.
And after finishing the single-player mode, you can enjoy it in multiplayer mode, where up to 12 players share a Wiimote.
