Lol, these look the absolute shit. Bomb on day one. Unfortunately the Wii doesn't have enough shelf space that the PS2 does to hide these crappy looking ports. Why can't they spend the time and make one really good Wii game then 13 10 minute control-tack-a-thons.

Candy Land is under attack! This once sweet and tasty land has been taken over by hordes of snapping Cup Cakes, Angry Bees and Jelly Monsters.
Only one man can stop this evil army of monster cakes. He's one tough cookie; a guy that won't crumble under the pressure......
'Ninjabread Man' is here!

NOBODY WANTS YOUR HOPELESS, AGING FILTH. GO BACK TO THE HOVEL FROM WHENCE YOU SLITHERED AND NEVER DARKEN OUR DOOR AGAIN. (Or try and make some good, original games. That would work.)

The games themselves, well, some of them do seem quite original but still, lazy ports = developer scratching their head thinking "why don't our games sell?"

Good grief, the cost and time spent porting those games could be better spent making 1 good, new game.
Of course, publisher logic!
More games = More chance of success.
