I think they work great for core games.  I loved them in Twilight Princess, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, MadWorld, Bully, Godfather, the Skyward Sword demo at E3, and many more.  They're not really tiring.  You can sit on a couch, resting the IR pointer on your knee, and very precisely tilt your wrist.  It's as simple as using a mouse, and very accurate.  You don't have to jump and swing and duck all over your living room.  They exaggerate in the commercials to show people how active gaming is healthy and fun and all, but it's not necessary.  I only do that for Wii Sports Tennis because my friends and I think it's hilarious to have intense four player tennis matches that take up the whole room.
