| I'm sure it could turn into a great franchise - my point was: what is there with the Wii that could make those genres *better*.
Really, what can you do with the Wiimote to enhance or change the experience of driving or flying?
There's tons of potential in other genres, but what potential is there in these genres? In the end for sims, arcades, or otherwise in this genre, you just do not get better than Wheels or Joysticks for the way you control the game.
You'd have to really go out of your way to stretch it like some kind of absurd racing game with Okami elements. And in that it'd probably be something like using the Nunchuck stick to steer and the Wiimote to draw.
That would have to be designed ridiculously well to not flop and it'd likely be a one time thing.
That also kind of turns it into something that's not really a racing game.
