In Major Minor's Majestic March, you use a magical baton that houses the spirit of your great great grandmother to lead a band of dogs, dolphins, flamingos, and flowers. By moving the Wii Remote up and down to a steady tempo, you lead your marching menagerie through a variety of brightly colored locales. The unique concept and whimsical art style are appealing, but alas, the game is hamstrung by inconsistency and troublesome controls. Sometimes the tempo will drop completely even though your steady motion hasn't changed, and at other times your gestures to recruit new members or pick up items simply won't register. It's also entirely possible to make it through a level without keeping tempo for the majority of the time. This makes the game accessible to less rhythmically inclined players, but even they will easily complete the tutorials and all seven performances in about an hour. With so little content and such problematic controls, Major Minor never lives up to the majesty that its name promises.
The Good:
* Novel gameplay
* Goofy artistic style
* Accomodates younger players.
The Bad:
* Imprecise, inconsistent controls
* The seven performances can be completed in less than an hour
* Frustrating tempo drops and missed gestures
* Unpleasant Wii Remote speaker sounds.

No, today I'm listing off what I think are the Top Ten Worst Wii Games. Folks, brace yourselves, we're about to dig through some shovelware."
Not all games are created equal: Some are gems, some are turkeys. Here's a quartet of turkey titles to avoid like that fruitcake your great aunt's gonna give you for Christmas.
That's a really tame list. Haven't heard of 3 of them, and didn't know the 4th was getting a PS2 port. Where's the undisputed turd of the year, "Tony Hawk: Ride"?
Why pick shovelware to put on this list? Put big name turkeys like WET or Ninja Blade
i thought this game might be fun, like drawn to life.
i thought you could draw stuff and it would stay, but it doesn't. it falls to the ground, plus you can only draw basic shapes and you can't pick them up either. need a stair case? have fun drawling tons of squares and drawling them so they fall on each other in the right way.
ONM will forgive you for instantly dismissing Major Minor's Majestic March as a load of rubbish. After all, there have been more colourful, childish games released on the Wii than there have been Cliff Richard concerts, and, much like Sir Cliff's gigs, the vast majority are pretty forgettable. However, when you consider that Major Minor is being put together by the creator, development team and artist responsible for cult classic PaRappa The Rapper, it becomes clear that this one could be worth keeping an eye on.
