The game in OP is clearly a "casual game", which some people get angry about being on the Wii U. I just find it a little silly to be angry about a game that is made precisely for the target demographic Nintendo is aiming for with their own hardware. 

The Wii brand is made specifically to attract this type of game. 

And you keep repating all this wrong stuff. that's the problem.


I know you don't want to believe it, but it doesn't make it any less true. 

I can say 50 Shades of Grey is marketed/aimed at women without getting my head chewed off, it's fairly obvious Nintendo's design priorties and focus with the Wii and Wii U. 

Look at Nintendo's own first year lineup for the Wii U of new titles:

New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Game & Wario, Mario 3D World, Sing Party, LEGO City. 

Literally half the games are mini-game/casual fare compilations. Look at the launch commercials for the system -- completely aimed at kids/family/casuals. 

Yet we gonna get mad at a third party for making games along the lines of what the platform is aimed for? Sorry not buying it. Wii's brand legacy will be bringing this type of mini-game/casual fare style of gaming to the forefront of consoles (at least Nintendo ones) before all that audience ditched Nintendo for phones.
