Moki Moki is the kind of concept that's well-suited to a downloadable service like WiiWare, but this particular idea will never quite capture your interest. After immediately understanding the core gameplay in the first few levels, it's just an auto-piloted march to the end -- without much fun had along the way. So keep your eight dollars uninvested in this one. Let the Mokis just stay where they are.

"Not too long ago, we were able to catch up with the guys over at Natsume for a quick Q&A. Graham Markay was kind enough to respond to our questions. Read on as we inquire about their current approach towards WiiWare, some of the titles they've released thus far, and what their plans are for the future." -- Wiiloveit.com
MyWii writes: "Moki Moki is a cute, appealing arcade puzzler featuring little blobs called Moki. The point of the game is to guide your Moki towards a yellow vortex while losing as little of them as possible. Each level will have the pink Moki continually falling and you'll save them by manipulating the environment. This can be anything from a cup and saucer where you wait for the Moki to fill up before you can tip it over, a claw used to scoop up the Moki, a circular maze, and a space ship where you knock the Moki into one of two vortex holes. While the objects do have a set path (either rotating or back and forth), manipulating them is addictive and fun to experience, as each level is different to the last."
Get ready to eat your way to success as Eat! Fat! FIGHT! comes to WiiWare along with the mind-bending, gravity-defying Moki Moki where you'll need to defend the hapless Moki from the ravenous Gromblins. And that's not all: there is magical puzzling in Castle of Magic, animals to look after in Littlest Pet Shop, and a starship to defend in Starship Patrol - all on Nintendo DSiWare today.
Same here. That and La Mulana are the only Wiiware games that I'm really looking forward to.
How many versions of Street Fighter 2 does the Wii shop need? It already has the SNES Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and Super Street Fighter 2.
