Need an EASY Gamecube game

I think it would be good for my niece to develop some hand-eye coordination. So I'm going to loan her my Gamecube. My five-year-old nephew is already addicted to Wallace & Gromit, and unfortunately (because of my stupid brother) Soul Calibur 2.

The trouble is that my niece is easily frustrated. I've tried Super Monkey Ball 2 (Race) and even that is a little hard for her.

I think that once she gets accustomed to the controller, she'll be able to handle more challenging stuff, but right now I need something VERY easy. Preferable something free form, with no violence, and no time limit.

Suggestions?
 
Monkeyball is impossibly hard. And I'm a hardcore gamer. Kirby air ride uses the only A button and the control stick, but is a bit fast paced, (looks through library of games) sorry everything else is a bit more complitcated...
 
Tetris Worlds. Maybe SpongeBob.

Donkey Konga will be too hard. Not as hard as Super Monkey Ball though.
 
how about go outside and throw around a ball and play? thats usually pretty good at developing those types of skills.......

Haha taking up an instrument (like piano) is the best way to improve coordination. And by the time she's my age she'll be a freakin beast on the piano.

huh? playing a piano is better than judging distance, angles, spacial relations, etc when playing? that helps develope hand eye coordination better?

i dont know man. any links or evidence?

very true. Learning to read music would help her as well. I took a entry piano class in 9th grade and I labeled all my notes.

Is all he said. He never said anything about spacial relation, judging distance, etc, and musical instruments are great ways to improve hand eye coordination. Plus, I wasn't disagreeing with you, in fact I was agreeing in the aspect that playing video games isn't the only way to improve on coordination.

easy buddy. im not saying youre wrong. just asking.

isnt that what hand eye coordination is tho? using your eyes to observe your surroundings and give the info to your hands to manipulate the environment? it seems counter intuitive to say that learning a musical instrument would be the best way, as that would really limit the scope.

but what do i know. thats why i asked.

lol 🙂 Go edit the original post - there's a missing [ /b ] tag in there some place.

If you want simple, go to the local EB games, Funcoland, etc. and pick up an old NES or SNES (or find an emulator somewhere and put it on her computer, if she has one). Maybe some of the old Mario games or something like that.

What you're trying to do is exactly the reason my parents bought be an original NES years ago. *I* don't know if it helped much, but they said it did.

Here's a link to the Quidditch game, it's cheap and it's seriously easy. They made it control like it's 2D, but it acts like 3D. My girl had lots of trouble too, but she can handle this one pretty well. She also likes to play Super Mario Sunshine, but usually plays on my game so she can just go to all the different stages and mess around. She also likes the free skate mode on Tony Hawk.
She also poured hours into Super Mario Land (the oooold one) on GB, even as hard as it is.

I actually have this game, but never really play it. I'll try it out on her, thanks!
