Racing and flying games are ones where next gen hardware visuals and heavy online support is key now. See Forza, Ace Combat, ect.

That and the Wiimote does not add anything to them - if anything it detracts from using a regular controller. It's just a really awkward medium for those genres.

If you want a real immersive experience with them then you use either a wheel or a joystick anyways.

That's not to say a decent or good racer or flying game can't be done on the Wii - just that the Wii adds absolutely nothing to the experience. It only detracts from it with lesser visuals, physics, controls, potential online support, basically every aspect is potentially worse.
