I know you weren't talking to me but... no, those game are not appealing for quite a few people (me certainly). Excite Truck is just a novelty racing game, Wario Ware is just a novelty mini-game game, Mario Strikers is just a novelty football game, I never liked Metroid Prime at all (though accept that many do, so it's a personal-preference thing, the game is not bad in any way).Smash Bros. is just a novelty beat-'em up with starring various mascots and stuff. Good for a laugh I'm sure, but I like my fighters to be serious and deep (Street Fighter III, Virtua Fighter 5, King Of Fighters Neowave, etc..). Smash Bros. is just a bit of a joke compared to them. All in all, these games, while good, are not games you'd buy a console for. Or I should say, not games I'd buy a console for, certainly. There are no 'musts' yet, just a load of novelty/joke games (to me).
The Wii starts with Mario Galaxy. Then, and only then.
Maybe stop looking at first party and give 3rd parties some attention - So you're not interested in Eledees, Trauma Centre, SSX Blur, Godfather, Tiger Woods, FF, Dragon Quest, RoTR, Sadness, Cooking Mama, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Fire Emblem, Forever Blue, No More Heroes, Line Rider, Orb, Pokemon, RE: Umbrella Chronicles, Sonic, none of these?
And that's just the ones we know about.
That's exactly what developers whine about - no one pays attention to their games, and everyone expects Nintendo titles to sell the console for them.
And Smash Bros has a lot more depth to it than that.
