Lucas-Rio, it's foolish to presume you know so much about titles you admit that you haven't played or (I bet) bothered to really research.

But other posters have raised an interesting question: Should WiiWare, XBLA, and PSN be considered entirely different platforms from regular Wii, 360, and PS3 games?

I have not said that I knew "so much" about this game. I have said that I have not played this game and I am not interested by it nor by another WiiWare game.

I was just saying why he could not be game of the year above SSBB, and the fact that he is a Wiiware is certainly a big part of the reasons.

"Because it is less impressive than a full disc game."

I'm not going to dispute that SSBB has way more content -- that game is a massive monument to fanservice as well as an awesome game.  But are you so sure that World of Goo is less impressive than a great regular Wii game like Boom Blox? 

Or by "full-disc" do you mean a game that takes all the storage space of the disc like SSBB?  That would be a strange way to measure a game (although MGS4 fans might agree with you ).
