Can motion controls work for action RPG games on the Wii?

From all accounts, Sould Calibur Legends stems this fear the most (although as a fighting game, it would have solved that), but considering the way that system was criticized, it's unlikely to be used for such a game again.

QFT x 5.

Soul Calibur Legends will make your wrist hurt within 30 minutes of play since it's a beat'em up that maps attacks to motion controls.  The more you jerk your wrist and snap it, the worse it gets. 

The secret I've found is that rather than snapping your wrist is to move your arms.  Don't snap your wrist to do that horizontal cut, move your arm horizontally.  It made that game go from 30 minutes = pain to very light muscle activity.
