But are there any games worth playing?

The Wario game is pretty good if you liked the original Game Boy Wario games.

Mario Clash is a fun take on the original Mario Bros game which didn't need to be 3D, so I'm a little disappointed they haven't revisited it.

Jack Bros. is notable for being Atlus' first release in the West, and I remember having some fun with that one.

Mario Tennis was also pretty good, but there are probably better Mario Tennis games by now.

How many consoles can say that ~28% of their library is worth checking out? Haha

I was never sure if that game was good or not because I was so bad at it! Haha

It takes a bit of time for the controls to click, then all of a sudden you just catch a rhythm and it's second nature.

Happened to me the first time I beat the self-destructive guy. Having to go for speed just made everything click and from that point it was all learning strategy, controlling what I wanted the game to do was no longer an issue.
