Can someone please help me by recommending a WiiWare title, that has a difficulty level friendly enough for a 10 year old? But will keep a 10 year old boy's attention for awhile. (<:

Rage of the Gladiator, Heavy Fire: Black Arms (Not the finest quality game but cheap, and very easy to pick up and play), or Fish'em All come to mind. They are all very basic games and action oriented. VC wise I would recommend 1080 snowboarding, Earthworm Jim, or Vectorman. Again, very easy to pick up for a quick play through.
Oh wow, you don't like 1080? I generally don't like N64 or snowboarding games but I always had fun with it. Wasn't it generally well received by the public?
Yeah 1080° Snowboarding (N64) was the best snowboard game ever at the time when it was released in Spring 1998. It co-existed nicely with that other Snowboard game, Snowboard Kids. It wasn't a realistic simulation like 1080°, it was like Mario Kart on snowboards.
On the Gamecube it got the fantastic sequel 1080° Avalanche, and then the market got flooded by other snowboard games like SSX Tricky, SSX On Tour, Shaun White Snowboarding, Dark Summit, Evolution Snowboarding. Even SEGA had to make their Sonic Riders. A new 1080° wouldn't stand out that much in the masses of snowboard games that are available now, but I think a new one in HD graphics with well-made Balance Board support could be an exciting experience that I'd love to try on the Wii U.
How about Ben 10? I know it has gotten bad reviews, but how do you think a 10 yr. old boy would receive it? Or do think there is a better choice of platformer on WiiWare? (I was also contemplating between Max and the Magic Marker and Doc Clock.)
I decided to purchase Max and the Magic Marker for my son. What do you think, did I make a good decision as to which WiiWare platformer to purchase? My son likes to draw and MatMM looks like it would appeal to children around his age.

Great choice! I probably wouldn't recommend getting Doc Clock for your son mostly because of the frustration factor. However, you're welcome to give it a shot anyway if you really think he'll enjoy it.
Not really, but he told me he enjoys fighting and racing titles. I already own FAST, so there really isn't anything left in that genre which deserves much attention. And I already own Overturn, which both of us dislike. If anything, I'll most likely be examining more niche titles like MatMM. (<:
I know I'm late to the party, but another 1080 supporter crawls out of the woodwork... me! One of my favorite Nintendo 64 games, fast and cool, with a nice mix of characters and interesting levels. With that said, it's a bit old school with the crouching to avoid crash landing (a trick I never fully mastered until I picked it up on Virtual Console), which is really a positive for a seasoned gamer, but could be hit or miss for a newbie.
Thank you @thelastlemming, but this is the WiiWare Recommendation thread. If you want to check out the VC Recommendation thread, I've posted requests for suggestions there as well. (<:

Should I crack open MatMM, so I can become aquainted with the mechanics? Or should this title be simple enough for a 10 yr. old to pick up and play? I kind of wanted to experience it for the first time with my son. But I want him to enjoy himself and not get too frustrated, which would detour him from playing it again. He doesn't have much patience and sometimes he gives up too easily. Concerning the gameplay, I hope the fun factor outweighs any frustration due to difficulty.
Hmmm... Well, I think it would be great for you two to play the game together, but it might not be "simple enough" because of the puzzles that are introduced as time goes on. If you have your doubts, try watching a video of the first level on YouTube and see if that helps you decide if he'll be okay on his own for a while or if he'll need your help a little sooner.
