Default Wii at the Bar

So, some of my friends just let us demo a Wii at the bar.

Everyone had a really good time with the bowling and tennis.

The Legion guys just voted to buy one, but differed to us to buy accessories.

I'm assuming we need some of the "nun-chucks" and maybe two of the steering wheel things.

What else would be entertaining for a general bar crowd?

Please, if you include games, include what accessories are required to play.

I am supposed to have a report on Wed as to the cost of everything for a vote.

you def will need 4 WII-motes and 4 nunchuck controllers...

a couple of steering wheels are good. for mario kart.

you can't go wrong with any of the group games.. but they are all a little childish... so if you dont mind that get like mario party, super smash bro's.. wario game is nice (its a little off the cuff add )

wii fit is good enough but i think its 1 player :x


over-all you dont need that many accesories.

<- still thinks Wii is overly gimmicky

but I'd say the wheels are optional, a lot of people, myself included, would much rather just use the nunchuck

It's the American Legion.

It's all old people. I was surprised they got into the bowling like they did.

:usa: Yay War Vets.

I think the deal is, you put in $5 and you get into the bowling pool.

Winner gets the 3/4 the total.

Second is 1/8 total

Third is 1/8 total.

we have yet to set it up yet. And it will be done by private people (not the american legion, not the bar ect.)

But i think it will work out well. Bring some people in to the bar.

Keep us in the black anyway.

I've never been to a bar with videogames (besides Silverstrike Bowling or PGA Tour golf arcade systems).
