Sure, Nintendo (and especially the Wii) has always favored kids. But still there really haven’t been many (or any) really good Wii games for smaller kids say ages 3-6.

That changes with Go Diego Go Safari Rescue.

Diego (if you’ve been living under a rock or don’t have small kids) is Dora the Explorer’s cousin and a mega kids show.

The Wii game is essentially based on one Diego episode – the Safari Rescue – letting kids play along with the episode’s plot.

But instead of just pushing a button – with the Wii they get to do the actions. Like waving your hand to say No Bobbos! or moving your arms in a swimming motion to cross a lake, or a pushing motion to shake a tree.

And it’s all so easy that a 3 year old could do it.

It’s a simple game – sure. And it can be completed end to end in a few hours, but for the little ones in your gaming household this will keep them busy for a very long time.

We bought this at retail for $39.99. Pricing on eBay has been consistently about $25 to $40. RSS
