    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006.

It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    What good racing games are on the Wii?

    My father is thinking of buying a Wii, and he loves the racing genre. Soooo what games would you recommend?   
     
    Can also be from other genres.  
     
    Thanks for reading.

    Yeah this is the only one I can think of... Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit might be worth a look into.

    Mario Kart is pretty much it, although I do remember enjoying the hell out of Speed Racer.
     
    I was drinking heavily at the time.

    Ehhh this is a stretch....... 
     
    One game I played a lot of, and one that is totally available on the Wii, is Sega Racing All-Stars. For a kart racer it is a lot of fun, and isn't too terribly difficult. Take it from me, it seems fairly underrated. 
     
    F-Zero GX is probably another great choice too, even though it was a GCN game. The GCN had some great racers that would be really fun to check out.

    Excitebots is a pretty ridiculous, but fun game.

    Yeah, I thought so. Thanks for the reply!   
     
    @Hailinel:
    @Zippedbinders:
     
    The Excite franchise since the original Excitebike is awesome. I have my eye on those games.

    excitetruck. If you play gamecube games on wii, then mario kart double dash or pac-man rally. don't try the wiiware racers (unless there is a demo) they suck.

    Hey, that doesn't look too bad... The only realistic racing game I own is Flag to Flag.

    The Wii has some decent NFS games, the best ones imo are Undercover and Nitro.  Excite Truck and Excitebots are great too. Sonic & Sega all-star racing seems to be a pretty great Mario Kart clone.
