I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that 90% of those games are shite.

The Wii is quite seriously misunderstood as a console. It has been the most successful at my house because of the family gaming. I have had hundreds of hours with my two (and wifey on occasions). For same room multi-player it is hard to beat. To think that the Wii is all about wavey wavey is to totally misunderstand it.
I have bought more games for the Wii than for any other platform I own - I have over 100 disc borne titles for it - and if you add in the 90 I have for GC, then it's library dwarfs any other collection I own.
In terms of sheer family entertainment it has no peer.

I would take issue with that and saw the branch off you are sitting on.
Even a cursory glance at my Wii pile of shame, all of which are not the best on offer would refute that.
Not all 100-odd are stone cold classics - of course not - some iffy ones in there, but not many. I'm not going to list all the Wii games I have as that would be a bore - however I may list the few that I found to be poor.
To take the 10 best games out of my collection and then say that stuff like Geometry Wars Galaxies, Puzzle Quest, or Boom Blox are shit would be quite wrong.
I would posit that you would be one of the many people who have a misunderstanding of the console. The current length of this gen, and the fact that I have only recently got a contemporary (a 360) has probably had an influence on how many games I have for the Wii.
