My main incentive to play Tetris Party on Wii was for the multiplayer. If I wanted single player Tetris, instead of using a GBA emulator to play LockJaw, I could switch my TV from the Component (Wii) input to the VGA (Type-X) input and just play Ti. And the joystick connected to that is already Sanwa.
I'm something of a Duel Spaces and Shadow fan myself, haha. I haven't been able to try the multiplayer at all, since the campus wifi hates my Wii and DS -- or perhaps my Wii and DS hate the campus wifi.
