This is the problem with the Wii. All the top-teir 3rd party developers are making games for 360/PS3. The Wii is left with crap games that cater to people that know nothing about games, the casual gamer. Some of the best 3rd party games for the Wii are ports from other systems. Come on, look at the games you listed.
Mythmakers: Orbs of Doom
Kids Sports Basketball
Sega Bass Fishing
Do you want these game to be good?? WHY is Nintendo not blamed for letting trash like this through in the first place?
It's not an invalid argument to say that sometimes reviewers just don't understand casual gaming. Titles like Endless Ocean are so radically different than the typical "game" we're used to that it's hard to judge them with the same criteria.
That said there are still crap casual games and these are examples of such. No need to say these games got bad scores because reviewers don't understand casual games. These games are bad regardless. Look at the "Mega Brain Boost" game. It got a horrid score while Brain Age gets great scores from IGN.

Should Sony have been blamed for Ninjabread Man on the PS2? Whatabout McFarlane's Evil Prophecy or The Shield videogame or MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch? All horrendous games released on the PS2 because as the most popular console with the largest userbase including casuals it allowed for quick easy cash-in titles just like the Wii.
Did "Gravity Games Bike" getting a 3.5 average on GR affect your enjoyment of the actual quality games on PS2? Then ignore the crap shovelware on the Wii and play the quality titles that are released.
@darklich
Nintendo tried to control shovelware in previous generations, and it's considered one of the reasons the big N fell from market supremacy. Giving third parties the freedom to do what they want (even if the result is crap) is one of the reasons credited for the ascendance of the Playstation.

For years they applied the same reviewing formula to games then the Wii came along with games that didn't fit there reviewing mold.
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist." Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked. |

Some people are either too young to know, or selectively forget in order to flame the Wii
