Your WarioWare criticisms are legitimate. I still had a blast with the game, both alone and with many others.
I think the one controller limit was a deliberate design choice, because Wii remotes were scarce at the time this game came out. It would be nice if multiple controllers were supported, but tossing the one controller around does create its own kind of excitement.
I definately agree that there's no damn reason multiplayer should have to be unlocked through single player. That's just stupid.
I think Wii has done pretty well with local multiplayer. It's doing better at it than any console which has come before.
Existing quality local multiplayer games: Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Trauma Center: New Blood, Pro Evo 08, Madden 09, Tiger Woods 09, Lego Star Wars, RE: UC, Ghost Squad, and probably others
Upcoming games which might deliver off the top of my head: Samba de Amigo, Ghostbusters (if it gets published), Quantum of Solace
