I like this discussion.
I didn't like SMG2 as much as SMG1, mainly because they really took away that little of story there was, and also because it felt mostly like a big DLC to SMG1. I loved SMG1, loved the simple story and the way it was told, finished it 100% in one month at the first run, I just liked the atmosphere, and enjoyed the quality of the game.
I played a lot SSBB, having played only the N64 one, I really liked it. Then tried Project M and really really liked it, now I have difficulties playing Brawl, but I still find it a great game. Also SSE had an awesome story.
Mario Kart Wii was ok, I played and still play it a lot, but in my opinion it was not as good as Double Dash, something that MK8 did get right instead.
New Super Mario Bros I did play it to the end, 100%, but never touched it again. Nor had interest in trying the mods of it.
Pandora's Tower is an awesome game, I still can't figure out how that thing runs on Wii.
Mario Party 8 was really bad to me, I did play 4, 5, 6 and 7. 8 felt really really bad.
So, while I agree Wii Games mostly are really bad, I did enjoy what it offered. The Wii itself is a great console, but I think it suffers the fact that really a few devs considered it a good console, other just did awful games, not even trying to push the hardware.
A good example I always use is Dirt 2, which seems a port of the PSP version, rather than PC/PS3/X360 one. As a comparison, Test Drive Unlimited on PSP is an awesome port, really similar to the PC counterpart. if that can be done on a PSP, I see no excuses to make such rubbish games on Wii.
P.S.: I also agree the fact that the Wii had retrocompatibility maybe was the best thing the Wii had to offer, second to the WiiMote, which I used a lot on the PC.
