~1 mil copies sold = very low sales for a such large user base. Also the low Metacritic score gives value to my initial comment.

(No, I don't make my purchases based on metacritic at all but I'm sure that most of the people will agree that games with a score lower than 75 can't be called "must-buy").

IGN should of made a top 15 must have games + 15 other that you should take in consideration after getting the first 15.

What you didn't like of those games?

I have 18 of those games! Only Scarface and Medal of Honor Heroes 2 not...

More evidence my Wii buy was a mistake. I wouldn't touch half the games on that list. Not my style. Also: needs GH and/or Rockband.

i have ten of them

I would ad Guitar Hero, Sonic & Secret rings, fire Emblem and Mario Striker Charged

ExciteTruck but no Fire Emblem? Major fail.

No Fire Emblem? 

Popularity is the least reliable metric on the planet fo the quality of a game. Or, at least, an absence of it is a poor metric for a lack of merit.

Seriously guys, I have nothing wrong with Fire Emblem, but it really is a game that only appeal to a small fanbase. I do enjoy the FE series myself, but it really doesn't stand out compared to all the games on this list. I hate to say this, but FE: Radiant Dawn was mostly an expansion to Path of Radiance with no Wii-only features whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't fail at what it does, but SRPGs are and never will be as popular as any other game genre.

With all that said, this is why I believe the IGN writer didn't suggest the game: you can't see a lot of people link this game with the Wii (I mean, not as much as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption or Mario Kart Wii for example).

Because ExciteTruck stands out to absolutely everyone with its mediocre gameplay? Or if you are going that route, MP3 probably doesn't appeal to any amount of the Wii Fit crowds. The list is still a miserable failure.
