"Family Games will be arriving on the WiiWare service sometime soon. It has been approved by Nintendo of America and we should be receiving details on the price and release date shortly." -- Wiiloveit.com
"Icon Games hopes to provide players with a means to rekindle past memories of favourite childhood pen-and-paper games with loved ones, and perhaps even create new ones. And for only $5, relatively little gets in the way of having some simple fun with this adequate title." -- Wiiloveit.com
Quoting Nintendo Life's review:
"When a video game outright admits that you can play it just as well (if not better) with a sheet of paper and a pen, you've got some problems. The flip-book style animations are quite nice, but the rest of the presentation is so barebones that there's literally nothing to be gained – at all – from owning these games electronically. Family Games is composed entirely of smaller, simple games that are readily available (free, or for the cost of a notebook) elsewhere, and therefore just being "good enough" isn't good enough. There needs to be a reason to buy this game and Family Games, while passably competent, just doesn't have one."
"Eight timeless classics in one collection for your Wii. If this sounds up your alley, then you may want to add Family Games: Pen & Paper Edition to your list of WiiWare games to watch." -- Wiiloveit.com
