One Handed Wii Games

Hey,

So I take care of my 5 year old cousin about once a week. We typically play some video games.

He happened to take a fall and unfortunately broke his arm for the summer.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas for games which only make use of one arm?

It is a bit tough to research since a lot of games have so many controller configurations on the Wii. So wonder if anyone had some titles they knew for sure.

    A good number of the games on both Wii Sports and Sports Resort can be played one handed.

    Both Boom Blox's can be played without the nunchuk.

    Can't he just hold the nunchuk in his broken arm? He can move his fingers, no?

    I haven't seen his injury yet and just going from what I was told, so maybe, but he's a pretty fussy kid and just a padawan in terms of videogame mechanics so I'm guessing that a bit of a challenge for him.

    Maybe a racing game where all you have to do is tilt the controler?

    I think excite-truck and mario kart are like that. (but I have not played either in years so someone else should second this before you get too excited)

    Hope you find something for him :)

    You can always scotch tape the nunchuck to his leg so he can steer without holding it - that's how I played Super Mario Galaxy cos I can either hold or steer not both in my left hand.
