First off, I think the focus on trying to define games as "Casual" or "Hardcore" generally is a bad approach ...
Games like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and The Legend of Zelda (along with a lot of other games) have demonstrated that there is a market for games that are based off of more complicated gameplay mechanics than the kinds of "Waggle" that most developers focus on with their "Casual" games; on top of that these games are not any "easier" than popular games on the HD consoles so there really is no need to create dumbed down games simply because they are on the Wii.
The primary differences between conventional games that Nintendo has been successful with and third party "Failures" on the Wii is that the Nintendo games are original games based off of an existing popular franchise, in a popular genre, released exclusively for the Wii, at a high level of quality, with a large marketing campaign ...
