I've never bought a WiiWare title, so I was unaware of that. I'm just not that into playing (most types of) games with the Wii controller, so my Wii purchases have been pretty limited. I must say, I'm thinking about that Monkey Island series that's out (or was that 360?). I have Mario Kart, but I only played it once, just to check it out (steering a wheel in mid-air just isn't for me), so I guess I completely missed the channel. I'll have to check it out again.
