Help Me Create a $1000 Wii Bundle

The thread title pretty much covers it. I've been charged with putting together a $1000 Wii Bundle as a contest prize for a promotion we're doing where I work. This is what I came up with...
Wii System......................$250
Wii Remote x3...................$120
Wii Nunchaku x3..................$60
Wii Classic Controller x2........$40
Wii Points (6000)................$60
Wifi USB Adapter.................$40
Nyko Charge Station x2...........$70
Sonic and the Secret Rings.......$30
Super Mario Galaxy...............$50
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams........$50
Super Smash Bros Brawl...........$50 (The drawing isn't until April)
Mario Party 8....................$50
Super Paper Mario................$50
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Pr.$50
Link's Crossbow Training.........$25
TOTAL...........................$995
I included everything that I thought would fit into a "Family" bundle. I'm not really sure that the 4 nunchaku are necessary, or the Wifi adapter... but it's harder to spend the full $1000 than I thought! Plus I was trying to ensure that the average home would have access to the full Wii experience; I assume that most people don't have Wi-Fi and/or HDTVs.
Keep in mind that I can't have M rated stuff in here, which is probably why I missed some games that would have otherwise been obvious.

Lemme guess, it was a DM's idea. Right?
edit: sorry, I've been corrected.
Tiem: it's a contest prize.
It's a contest Prize, not a bundle.
Huh? You meant the wired LAN adaptor? At any rate, that's pointless to include.
It is ten dollars more, but it comes with the remote AND a game.
As urahonky said, BBA might be a good alternative game. I'd also suggest Mario Strikers Charged, which is one of the few games you need four nunchuks in order to play with four people.
The Wii comes with one.
I had considered that, but I heard that WiiPlay sucked. I'll add that, thanks
Bah! Forgot about that. Also, I second the comment about swapping out one Wiimote for WiiPlay.
It's a great game and definitely a better display of the Wii than Sonic,
I also believe it's rated T
You heard wrong.
It didn't get the best reviews, but the reviewersdidn't take into account that it is, essentially, a ten dollar game. Or, rathher, nine games for ten dollars.
Bolded with suggested replacements.
I think that they could buy the adapter if they need it, and it won't be wasted if they do have wifi. Plus they'll get an extra game this way.
I may suggest replacing brawl with something else too, but Brawl is awesome and I don't know what would justify replacing it for families that would also be 4 player so I didn't.
I agree with the Wii Play suggestions as well. I know it's not the greatest, but there are some fun minigames in there for 1 or 2 people that those like my wife love to play.
Wii Remote x3...................$120
Wii Nunchaku x3.................$60
Wii Classic Controller x2.......$40
Wii Points (6000).................$60
Wii Component Cables..........$20
Nyko Charge Station x2........$70
Mario Strikers Charged..........$50
Super Mario Galaxy...............$50
Zelda: Twilight Princess..........$50
Guitar Hero III.......................$80
Zack & Wiki............................$50
Super Smash Bros Brawl.........$50
WarioWare: Smooth Moves......$50
TOTAL...........................$1000
Edit: Or Wario, everyone loves Wario.
Definitely don't replace Mario Party 8, I think it has some of the best party games for the WII especially compared to Rayman Raving Rabbits or Wario Ware.
Also I'd sub in GH3 and take out Super Paper Mario and Nights. IMO of course but while colorful, arn't really what I'd call family friendly in terms of play
OOOoooooo I forgot about that. I'll definitely want to include it.
See, this is exactly why I made this thread
I love Zack and Wiki, but like Sonic and Nights, I can appreciate that there are people who wouldn't, especially non-gamers.
Really? I haven't played WarioWare or the second Rabbids game but I definitely am getting tired of some of the Mario Party games. I do like MP8 more than the first Rabbids though.
Also, I wouldn't put in GH3, because as fun as GH can be, there's a lot of songs/things in there that are not so family friendly depending on the family. I'm not entirely familiar with some of the stuff, but I would not let my kids learn the song "Talk Dirty to Me" or see me playing guitar (quickplay) as a chick wearing a bra for a top and pants.
Yeah, I know it's not offensive, but it's probably not as family friendly as they are trying to make the package. I would save that money and get some different games. Like Wiifit.
Wii Fit, Guitar Hero III, and Super Mario Galaxy all definitely need to be in here. Guitar Hero III is rated teen as was featured on the Today show among other places. My mom, who doesn't know anything about games, was aware of it and excited to give it to me for Christmas without prompting.
I understand the difference here but I'd like to point out that Zelda is rated T.
It just feels wrong to not have Zelda though.
Sadly, people who work here do not qualify.
Do we?
Do those things work with the Wii Remote Jackets? I'd personally just get a good set of recharables, the Sanyo Eneloop batteries were on sale (8 batteries + charger + adapters) for like 20 bucks or something like that.
I favour GH3 over alot of Wii Games (For a Family bundle) simply because everyone I know (and all the Family gatherings I went too) thats all people wanted to play. Kids and Parents alike. Might not be rated E but everyone loves it.
Those a pretty good and worth having
On a side note, let us know if T ratings are ok or not, because Brawl is preliminarily rated as T right now too..
Because all but the most tight-assed parents would let Zelda and GHIII slide.
Edit: I'd definitely get confirmation, since I think the bundle would suffer without those two.
Edit Edit: Also, Smash is rated teen.
Wii System $250
Wii Play $50
Wii Nunchaku $20
Wii Classic Controller $20
Link's Crossbow Training $20
Wii Fit $70

And then cap it off with 16000 Wii Points! Mwahahaha!
EDIT: If T rated games are allowed, Zelda, Metroid, Trauma Center 2, and Guitar Hero all need to make their way on this list.

Priceless.
I'd include some suggestions of what you're thinking of. Mentioning harmless-seeming stuff like Zelda, Brawl and GHIII will help them relax.
