Up to 8 players for Family Mini Golf. I don't recall seeing that for a Wii game yet though I'm sure there are a couple that do it.
No word on if Drill Sergeant Mindstrong involves you walking around the barracks groping your Wiimote to the tune of "This is my rifle. This is my gun. This is for shooting. This is for fun." and then ending with you shooting the Drill Sergeant and then yourself Full Metal Jacket style.
You know, every week I see these WiiWare and VC games and it just disappoints me that there isn't a demo available...

Art Style: BOXLIFE?
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points?
Description: Climb the corporate ladder in the world of BOXLIFE using your wits and... paper? Use the Nintendo DSi? stylus to cut and then manipulate the paper into a box shape. Be careful-if you're not efficient with your cuts, you'll waste paper and be penalized. R&D mode teaches you new patterns and challenges you to complete various ranks, while FACTORY mode gives you the chance to earn money by making as many boxes as possible from an endless sheet of paper. Success in each mode brings its own reward: Clear ranks to earn a promotion, change your character's appearance, and use your earnings to acquire new items for your character's miniature garden. With this game's stylish graphics and catchy sounds, thinking inside the box isn't such a bad thing.

ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Violent References

The basic challenge of the game is to maintain a comfortable environment for the life forms by adjusting atmospheric and geological parameters.
