Or, you could use the user review section of any good gaming website (Gamespot... no wait, scratch that; IGN, etc.)

You could, i could, but we're talking about the most casual of Wii owners, the ones who apparenlty think games like Chicken shoot and ninja breadman are worth purchasing, simply because they're cheap. These people are teh same ones naysayers are going on about ruining the industry. you can't just boot them out, you have to educate them, and you have to do it in a way that gets that education out TO them. A Wii channel specifically for reviewing games this way would ensure that they had a good game list right at their fingertips.

Lets face that, you already said "or any good gaming website, Gamespot, no scratch that."

Even if it's a joke, it still demonstrates the basic concept of the problems with finding a "GOOD" game review website. Even if it is a good game, there's still teh issue of the basic differences in what a casual gamer wants vs what a more hardcore gamer wants.

I think that they were talking about something like, you play a game, and you give you're age so another gamers could see the average age of the user of that game.

also I think that they were talking about showing which games have been played the longest hours on the Wii, so people could see the most played games on the system.

See, this still holds the problem in that not all 8 year olds like the same games, not all 24 year olds want Manhunt 2, etc. Just because people play wii sports 24 hours a day because that's the only game they've got doesn't mean that's the game everyone wants to keep playing. That's why I'm talking about having the rating system represent games that other people with similarly rated games enjoy. That way your PERSONAL preference is what you will see put towards the top of the list. Not just an age bracket.
