I'd say a game with a lot of legs is an unbundled game that manages to see LTD sales in excess of 10 times it's opening.
Wii Play, Fit, Carnival games, and Game Party would all be great examples of it on the Wii.
The X360 has had a few like that recently - especially their Singstar (a very leggy game) ripoff 'Lips'.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

That's an interesting definition. I agree with that one too.
Legs are very difficult to define by one particular barometer.
Could one say Halo 3 has legs? It's been out for a year, and sold 70,000 copies last week....On the other hand, it's still under a 3x multiplier from launch.

Generally bundled (ala Wii Sports) or seasonally?

If it manages to sell in the Top 50 in normal times (not in Christmas rush) I would say it haves good legs.
Bitmap - Seasonally. Some stores may pack it in, but it's NOWHERE near the level that Wii Sports is bundled in the West.
I've never seen a NSMB bundle, myself. In fact, I rarely see any DS bundles outside of the "$200 gets you a DSL and these 3 awesome games!"

Good point of view, IMO. I think good legs can only be defined in comparison to first week sales of a game.

Hmmm not sure about this one but it still bundled.
