Today, Microforum announced its plans to release Enjoy Your Massage! on WiiWare August 9th. In it, you rub down hot and stressed out ladies using a variety of different techniques. It’s looks and sounds bizarre, but it’s just one of several weird titles on the Nintendo Wii. Here now, are the strangest WiiWare games.

Putting a different thematic spin on the brain-training genre is a good idea, and one that could probably work well -- it just doesn't work all that well here. Drill Sergeant Mindstrong seems to get too distracted by its own theme, and a lot of its mini-games and presentation end up focusing much more on reminding you that you're in a simulated boot camp than actually building up your brain. Then, what's worse, some flawed motion control meant to help with the simulation of activities like marching in step with fellow soldiers ends up distracting you even more.

Nintendo Life writes: "Drill Sergeant Mindstrong features quite a few interesting gameplay ideas, but they ultimately become too weighted down with the overly simplistic play control and mediocre audio/visual presentation to be of much enjoyment. If you can track down some friends or family members to play the game with, it at least adds some competitive fire to the experience, but you'll still likely tire of the game long before you get your money's worth out of it. Unless you're just a serious mini-game junkie that can tolerate the repetitive nature of the game's challenges, you're likely going to find this WiiWare experience very average and uninspiring".
