My wife got the Sims Castaway game and my son got some kind of Ben-10 game which I have no clue as to what it is.
Played the Lego Indiana Jones which was really cool and Kung Fu Panda which is fun but I don't see it standing any long term play.
Super Mario Galaxy is a must own. That should be first on your list, regardless.
Mario Kart is alright, but much better with multiplayer, so make sure you have extra wiimotes.
Aside from that, after you've bought Galaxy, check these out:
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
Resident Evil 4
Honorable Mention:
Boom Blox - It's supposed to be a rather fun, interesting, and innovative game, developed in part by Stephen Spielberg. Don't know that much about it to be honest, but apparently it's getting disappointing sales, especially considering its one of the few good Wii games out there.
Just keep on your toes and do your homework before buying games. The Wii is absolutely riddles with "shovelware", games that are rushed through production and not very good just to cash in on a popular franchise or gimmicky function of the Wii. Read reviews... http://www.metacritic.com is a good place to get a broad idea of what's good and what's not.
