From the Review:
"It’s almost hard to imagine that Wii Play was released over four years ago, isn’t it? One of the best-selling games of all time, Wii Play didn’t exactly offer gamers the best mini-game experience (that one goes to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, duh) but it did offer endless hours of laser hockey, table tennis and, my favourite: tank battles. On top of that (and probably the main reason why people picked up this game in the first place), the game came bundled with an extra Wii-mote – smart means for the quirky new console that had so much potential.
Since then, Nintendo has released Wii Play Motion, a direct sequel to the bestseller. With it comes some new additions and improvements: better mini-games, better controls and -most importantly- a glossy new Wii-mote with a built-in Wii Motion Plus. Funny how the accessory has become the hot topic once again; but it shows in sales and Nintendo clearly knows how to grab a hold of its audience."
"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.
TGH writes: Nintendo had a good deal of success with its Wii Play controller bundle. 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.
