Filter by Multiplayer games

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Probably a feature that would require a bit of time/effort to get kicked
off... but a feature to filter games by the number of players (Ex: 1
Player, 2 Player, 2 Simultaneous, 3+ Simultaneous, 1 Player WiFi, 2 Player
Wifi, etc.) This would be very nice to easily show the games that you can
play with other Wii consoles and how many players can play a certain game
on a single console.

if this can be be achieved maybe we'll need also more filters, just 1 or 2 
more, 
like by genre & by pheripereals
In fact I think it would be very simple, just adding some more comand to read 
from 
the individual gameconfig .txt , something like:

#players: 2
genre: 1 (1=fight, 2=rpg, 3......

also showing small icons in one side of the screen... just some ideas

I took some info from a Wiki
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_Wi-Fi_Connection_games) and added it 
to an
Excel 2007 file. While the list seems to need updating on the Wiki itself, it 
should
be a starting point. Feel free to update and re-post if it will help kick this
feature off.

As a possible usefull expation to this idea, user defined mulitiple favorites.

Let the user decide what to call them so then can fit into all sernarios
Kids Games, Family Games, Teen Gmes, Old School Favs, 1st person, RPG, WiiWare 
whatever...  sortof like how a DVR works for TV.

Trying to sort a library with over 300 games with one fav is tough...

I got a few insights on that issue also, my idea was:

Having 3 filters that work together: 

1 - Number of players (1, 2, 3, 4 or more)
2 - Genre (action, adventure, sport, racing...)
3 - Controller (wiimote only, nunchuck req, instruments, balance board 
supported, wii
speak...)
(Maybe parental control, but it could be an issue when mixing pal and ntsc 
games,
since they use a different scale.)

so you can switch throughout those 3 combined, lets say you want to list the 
single
player racing games that use only the wiimote, you select 1 on the first filter,
racing on the second filter and wiimote only on the last filter.

In the matter of coding I think it would all be very similar to the favorites
feature, and the data could be gathered from the wiitdb.

But also if you could create presets of favorites, people could create their own
index lists and do what I descibred first too, only that it would be manually, 
but
more flexible.
