"i didnt see anything special about it except the controller"
The controller is a huge part of it, and I suspect that you don't realise just how good the Wii controls are.It is not justa matter of replacing a button-press with waggling.
The controls are very sensitive (Kororinpa) and capable of great subtlety in use (Wii Music) and the pointer is a supremely natural way of playing shooters (Link's Crossbow Training). When well-implemented, the nuances of timing (Wii Sports Tennis) and gentle twisting movements (Wii Sports Bowling) bring depth to the simplest-looking of games.
Of course, they are not always used to best advantage (Red Steel), but the potential is huge, whether you are adventuring (Twilight Princess), exploring (Endless Ocean), platforming (Super Mario Galaxy) or snowboarding (Sean White).
After playing some good Wii games, using an old-style controller is rather like trying to drive a car that doesn't have a steering-wheel.
So yes, it is mostly the controller (and of course the games that use it), but that is a much bigger breakthrough than it first appears to be.
It is worth giving it a go.
