They just rereleased Super Mario All Stars for the Wii, if you were into that 30 years ago. The first four games from the series on a single disc for Wii... I know it's on my Christmas list.

Old people don't play video games, they play shuffleboard.

We have 2 racing games:
F1 2009 is very realistic and you get an idea of how difficult that sort of driving really is.
Speed Racer, no really it's a lot of fun and looks fantastic.

I suggest you stop calling yourself "old" at just 51.

Yes, it will support up to 4 players.
I just saw another racing game we have GT Pro Racing which is pretty good but you have to spend a lot of time unlocking features, tracks and cars.
Most of our Wii time is spent watching Netflix movies.

The cow racing game in Wii Play is a blast. People of all ages can compete on that one.

The one family game that my folks have always enjoyed (but primarily on the n64) was puzzle-bobble, aka Bust-A-Move. i believe there's a version of it offered on the virtual console.

As an "older guy" I'll 2nd Mario Kart. Keep coming back to that one. Also Mario Party is quite fun for a small group. I'm tiring of the whole guitar hero thing though.
