The power of marketing

"We Ski", "Game Party", "Carnival Games", "Deca Sports", and "Big Beach Sports".

Successfully games on the wii are copies of successful first party games, share similar names, or are licensed games.

Thats how you make a successful Wii game. Basically if your game does not contain "we", "wii", "party", "games", "sports", or  the name of a kids show in it, there is a good chance it won't sell well on the Wii.

Thats the sad truth. I wish all the million sellers were No More Heroes caliber games, but its just not gonna happen.

"Copies" may be just a TAD too strong of a word.  I believe "More of the Same" would be more appropriate way of saying it.  The games you mention are LIKE what Nintendo put out, but offer different types of experiences.   They are the same Wii controller waggle stuff, just applied to games that are different than what Nintendo put out.
