Wii owners are no strangers to the mini-game genre. Now only a year after release, Nintendo's new system is being bombarded with simple, "everyone-friendly" titles that deliver en mass, but not always with quality in mind.

But in practice (and as in the Wii game) it's hard to notice a great deal of difference between them.
