It’s a shame Wii Play Motion seems to be lost to time. I enjoy all the unique minigames and uses of the Wii MotionPlus here. Each minigame being developed by a small scale studio close to Nintendo is also such a charming idea. It’s unlikely we will ever see a game like this made again, it’s too cute. It’s proof how the simple Wii Remote can do a lot to make an exciting experience not found in other games and consoles out there.

This may be controversial, but I actually quite like this game! I haven’t played the other games in the Wii Play series, but the mini games offered here are very unique and have the right amount of depth, most of the time. Some of the spectacle here is really amusing, like seeing yourself tower ice cream up so high that it reaches space, or the fun game of hole-in-the-wall as your mii does wacky positions falling through and endless tube. As a mini game collection, it was never going to fare amazingly, but for what it is, I think it’s pretty great.

This is Wii Play's equivalent of what Wii Sports Resort was to Wii Sports. I'm sure I would've played this ALL THE TIME if I had it during the Wii era, because the minigames here are considerably more fleshed out than the Wii Play ones and they all have variations or sidemodes, unlike the original.

Also I spent almost 3 hours on Teeter Targets because of the last 4 stages, especially 29 and 30, of which the latter I didn't even manage to beat. The amount of precision you need is out of this world, screw that shit. If one day I manage to clear that it'll be my proudest GAMER MOMENT.
