Should be Remote w/game
Because you are really paying for the remote, and then adding like another $10 for the 9 games with this. I would recommend this with the purchase of the Wii for non-gamers and some casual gamers. With this added to your Wii, this will get you started with 2 remotes and 14 games to play on your new console, that almost anyone can easily play. Hardcore gamers will find this a joke though, and would be better off saving the $10 by just getting the remote. This basically gives your something to do and get yourself oriented with what the Wii is capable of.

Not necessary
The best thing about this game is the Wii remote that comes in the package with it. As for the game it's really not that special. Wii Sports or Wario are probably better for getting used to using the Wii remote. I think this game should be included free with every Wii console, it's really not strong enough to be a stand alone game.

Lots of fun mini-games to get used to the controls. Some are a tad awkward to get used to, but overall the idea is sound and the results are promising. I can't wait to see what other innovative gameplay will come out of games for the Wii. :)
