CheatCC says - The original Wii Play released in early 2007 as a clever marketing strategy for Nintendo. The game was bundled with a Wii Remote, offering a few samplings to would-be skeptics and presenting parlor games to the audience it was aiming to grab hold of. With the initial success of Wii Sports, the Mii-based Wii Play presentation was an easy addition to offer the casual and family based console owners. With the controller-enhanced WiiMotion Plus yet to receive stable third-party support, Nintendo has taken it upon themselves to showcase its potential with their newest bundle, Wii Play: Motion.
"I will never understand Nintendo management. They want to make a sequel to the hit Wii Play, and get more Wii Remote Plus', so they clearly set a team of Nintendo devel-- No. They hire a bunch of Japanese indie developers to compete with one another to create tech demos for the controller, and then bundle them all together on one disc. Wow. I'm gonna review each of the 12 mini-games in Wii Play: Motion, and then discuss the package as a whole!" -- Wiiloveit.com
Maybe this is a better way to cover casual games? I like the way the show deals with hardcore games for families and not just Wii waggle party games.

Encouraging people to play together (that’s the point of Wii) by packing a controller with a collection of minigames was great marketing, and a good deal for gamers. Now that the Wii’s Motion Plus has been making the rounds for a while, we’ve got another bundle to help ease customers into the new tech. With a dozen new(ish) minigames to be found on the Wii Play Motion disc, there’s something to be had for everyone. There are a few, however, that manage to shine through as universally good games.
This game looked decent but idk. Nintendo has been putting mediocre stuff up for quite a while. Better to wait till the next Mario.
not bad for a wii play sequel
I loved the original. I'd like to play this if I ever buy a Wii again. More than likely it will have to wait until the Wii U launch.
