Thoughts:
I don't own and haven't played either Onslaught or Water Warfare. I do find it interesting though, that the only two FPS WiiWare games, both already have data reporting on the Nintendo Channel.
Onslaught and Water Warfare both offer online multi-player.
Onslaught offers a 2-4 players online co-operative play through the game's campaign.
Water Warfare offers up to eight(8) players in online battle matches, or local 2-player matches.
I think the online modes in both games have helped with the hours reported, and I'm glad to know Wii owners play FPS games, both retail and WiiWare.
