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 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, basically every aspect is potentially worse. |
I don't think Wii is the proper home for realistic racers/flight sims, at all. I'm not prepared to accept that Wii adds nothing to these genres, provided the game has a bias towards arcade gameplay. Excite Truck, which admittedly feels like a tad more tuning was needed, is a great example of a game that feels great on the Wiimote.

There will be few examples of great Wii cross-platform games for now. Godfather and Tiger Woods Wii show games that can pull it off when the developer puts some effort into the port.
