All the hate towards MP 8 comes from the guys I learned to ignore a long long time ago : reviewers.
The hate comes straight from review sites and grades given to this game, things that let hardcore gamers decide what is good or not. Fortunately, the rest of the market doesn't give a damn about reviews. Sometimes they should perhaps, that would prevent them from buying shovelware that even the casuals won't like.
MP8 is particularly interesting, because it just shows how flawed reviewers are, and how heinous some are.
Because the poor grades given to MP8 were mostly because of hate for the Wii and its games, and because the reviewers had played every MP since the first ones. Even worse, as for them, it was initially a GC game (no full 16:9 everywhere, the wiimote not used in every mini game, ...), it has no value.
Of course, all of that is irrelevant to most gamers that bought this game.
MP is a really good game, hell, when my step-brother lent me MP4 for GC, my wife was the one asking for me to play with her, as she enjoyed it so much.
And again, I'm amazed at the communication from Nintendo. Because now, my wife have learned about MP8 and Trauma Center: Second Opinion (it was out 2 days ago in Europe!), and she wants both (and would have bought them if they weren't 50€). No I'm wrong, she wants Big Brain Academy too! She actually wanted me to buy one yesterday (I forgot) so that we could play yesterday night. I never talked to her about any of these games!
So Nintendo's success is well deserved, and MP8 success too.
