Just use the Wii.

Most multiplayer games only use one remote that you pass around from person to person.
My Consoles:
Genesis - Nomad - SegaCD - GameGear - Sega Saturn - Dreamcast - NES - SNES - N64 - Gamecube - Wii - Playstation - PSone & LCD - PS2 - PS3 - Xbox - 3DS

I would also agree that Wii would be the best system to get mom to play video games. The majority of games are very simple, easy to get into..8)

Why not stick with puzzle games? Or if your mom has a sense of humor, maybe something like Zombies Ate My Neighbors?

I got a Gameboy when it first came out for Xmas, and my mom fell in love with Tetris. Enough so that I eventually got her her own Gameboy. Back then we used to have lengthy Vs. Battles. She loved it. Me too. She couldn't beat me though.

My mom and dad used to rip up some Tetris on the NES. Many times I watched the castle lift off into the sky. I don't think I ever got anything besides a tiny pitiful rocket lol.

My mom didn't have an ounce of fun or joy in her body. You're pretty damn lucky to have one that actually offered to try out your hobby with you. It's almost like she's a parent or something.
