Explain to me how including "Wii" in the games title is misleading?

'Misleading' was a poor choice of words. I can't think of a better word right now.

When consumers see 'Wii' in the title, they think games without 'Wii' in the title aren't entirely Wii games. And so, they buy the games with 'Wii' in the title.  It's a (dirty) psychological trick.

All Wii games have "Wii" on the front cover. Any assumption of quality on the consumers part for the "Wii" title games stems from the good experiences they had with Wii Sports and Wii Fit... Resort and Fit Plus are sequels (well Fit Plus is more like a definitive edition). Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros were already very popular franchises, having Wii in the title is merely a good way to differentiate between prequels and sequels for games that are not based on story (and without simply using a number, which after so many years of titles does start to get dull)
