As for "Wario Ware Slapped!", is a great idea that's poorly executed. Players make gestures and faces that are seen by the DSi's camera in order to play a series of minigames set in an amusement park — think the Wii game "Wario Ware: Smooth Moves," only without the Wii controller.
The problem is that the software can barely see you. It needs bright light and high contrast to make out your eyes, mouth, hands and the shape of your head.
It couldn't tell the difference between my olive skin and the yellow wall behind me, or make out my eyes very well — strange, considering the regular Camera software got it all right away.
I can only imagine "Wario Ware Slapped!" must have been calibrated by light-skinned, black-haired Japanese technicians in well-lit labs. I hate to think what'll happen when darker-complexioned people try to play.
