Barely any of my games have required updates to play. NSMB Wii didn't require an update for me.

Same here, but that's because if you update normally, via WiFi, there's no need to update when starting most of those new games, since your system is already up-to-date.

If you don't have internet access on your Wii, or just don't update, there still needs to be a way for developers to have you update your system in order to play the game. Hence the update via the actual gamediscs.
