To be honest, I don't really see the problem. Games like these help new gamers get introduced to older games with controls that significantly improve the game. These games help to pad out the Wii's game library with excellent titles. You can hardly suggest that Nintendo or Capcom are going to stop making new games just to slap IR controls on old franchises.
For what it's worth, I'd pick up a remade Prime 1/2 with IR, the controls really are that much better for FPS games over an analog controller.
