I figured I had better send the characters to you rather than make you wait for them in the parade. Who knows when they would show up.
Any sport game that requires a swinging motion is sure hit on the Wii.
I have the Rapala trophy fishing and it is quite fun, you even have to 'set the hook' and 'real in' when a fish bites. The Wiimote bumps when a fish bites to give you the feel of the fish on the rod. They even have you drive the boat to the fishing holes.
