When did Nintendo make a on-rails shooter and third parties just flooded the market with it?

Your point is moot, as a business you have to fund unexploited holes in the system's library and try to fill them, go to a spot where the competition is weak, or not present at all.

The Wii Remote has an IR pointer. It's perfect for On-Rails games.

Oh, and how about this.

Actually its perfect for third person shooters and first person shooters, Links Crossbow training wasn't all on rails it was also part TPS.  As for lightgun games, the IR is MUCH better than other options but still not lightgun precision, you can get pretty close when you have games like Ghost Squad that lets you calibrate it, but part of the fun of lightgun games were that you just point and shoot, you didn't need the pointer on screen and because the IR can be off depending on where you're standing/sitting in the room you can't just point and shoot naturally.

It's funny, and maybe due to how long I've played on PC (took me ages to get used to a gamepad for FPS) but I just can't use Wii controls for what I see as a normal, Half Life style FPS.  The nunchuck is great for movement, but holding the Wii mote and pointing just doesn't work for me like using a mouse, or even a gamepad.

What I'd love for FPS is a nunchuck / mouse combination.  That would be the best control option for FPS I think.  Precision movement with variable speed and rapid, precision movement both for small aiming adjustments or large scale swinging around.
