Polite disagreement is different from what you've contributed to this thread, which basically amounts to, "hurr I know nothing about these games but they'll all suck anyway."
The whole point of hype is to be excited about something without knowing much about it. And you seem to be insinuating that if it isn't a major-franchise title or a graphical showpiece conducive to impressive-looking screenshots, then it isn't worthy of hype. And if that's the case, then no wonder not many people are hyped about the Wii's third-party releases; they're too busy buying into the hype for FPS or RPG # 753281.
Also, as per Mushroom Men: It's being developed by Red Fly Studios, the members of which had their part in developing impressive games like Anachronox, Deus Ex, and SSX 3. They're also the studio developing the Ghostbusters Wii game, for which the Wii is the primary SKU. It's also being published by Gathering of Developers/GODGames veterans Gamecock Media, who seem to have an exceptional eye for indie talent.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
