Check out some quotes from these reviews: Matt C says that "To (Offroad Extreme's) credit, the title features a comprehensive "how to play" tutorial, but unfortunately lacks an accompanying "why to play" one." And Mark Bozon says that "(Mini Desktop Racing's) credits mention no game designer at all though, so that explains a lot," as well as labeling the game "another shovelware title that simply needs to be ignored at all costs."
The Wii has some bad games, but these two from the creators of Ninjabread Man sound like they've raised (lowered?) the bar. We are now driven by an uncontrollable compulsion to play these two games.

Maybe Nintendo should go back to the day where they allowed companies to only release X number of games each year that were then approved by Nintendo for the shelves. Sure it might make it so that there aren't as many games out there, but then you would know you'd be getting quality products from each company.

The Nintendo Seal of Quality only meant the game would run on the hardware, not that the game was good.

That was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

IGN has been giving some shovelware titles extremely low scores. The titles deserve them no doubt, but I think they have been trying to shirk the 7-10 scale impression we all have of them. When a non-port, major title gets below a 7 I might be convinced that they've changed their ways.

If I see anyone buying these heaps of shit I am going to insert a spoon somewhere unpleasant about their person.
Seriously, the people who buy these games encourage developers to aim for cheap mediocrity.

i saw the screenshot and wondered why anyone would be reviewing an n64 game...
racing is my favorite genre, and it's been a looong time since i've played a good one on a ninty console. i hope we see f-zero or wave race on the wii and DS soon.
