The trend in Wii...

Anyone notice how about 1/2 of the games on the Wii are "explainations" of the Wii-mote tied into a video game. Take Sonic an the Secret Rings, or Cooking Mama, for example (there are many others; believe me). When I sit down and play these games, I can't help but feel that the game is trying to educate me on how to use the stinkin' remote instead of allowing me to play my game. I'm not talking about the huge amount of tutorials (there are lots of those, too). I'm talking about the game itself.

 Anyone else feel this way? Don't get me wrong: I love my Wii to death, and games like Zelda:TP and SSX turn this issue into a tiny annoyance instead of an actual problem.

"Learning time" should be kept in tutorials. Pop hints on the screen are nice sometimes, but we experienced wii users just want to play.

All games have a tutorial section, welcome to present day gaming.

Booklets in games are more of a novelty when the user has the ability of one or two trial stages at the start of a game

I'm not talking about tutorials. I'm talking about the game itself. Ever play Rayman Raving Rabbits? Some enjoyed it, but every single level made me think to myself, "Man, I already KNOW how to shake the remote up and down. Let's do something fun!"

Yes but that of all games shows you why it's there.

 
The Wii is a completely new way to play video games so even a hardcore gamer needs lessons. Jaysonguy

Ah. So true.

I thought I was a god at the SSX games, but then I plays SSX:Blur. HARD!

Yeah I think everyone is going to find a title from a genre they thought they were good at and find out they need to learn it all over again

Yeah like sometimes in Warioware you your friends don't know what to do and lose in 2 seconds and thats not fun. So yes tutorials are important, they help the game a lot.
