My mother-in-law is getting our kids - my daughter who's 10 today, and her brother who will be 8 in December - a Wii for Christmas. She's getting the console and the extra controller. I have a few general questions, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Are there any additional accessories that we'll need Christmas morning so the kids can really enjoy this?

2. I'm thinking of getting my wife Wii Fit. She currently rides a Lifecycle and does yoga and this might give her a little change of pace. Are there any accessories I'll need with Wii fit, other than the board?

3. Are there any good games for 10-year-old girls? She's super smart, loves to read, and is an equestrian.

4. My son is the ultimate Star Wars nerd, so we're getting him the new Lightsaber Duel game and probably the Lightsaber controller add-ons. He also loves his sports games on the PS2. Are the EA sports games (Madden 09, NHL 09, etc) better on the Wii than on the PS2?

I think that's it. If I've forgotten anything, please chime in and help.
