I didn't think it was so much a crack at motion controls or the Wii specifically, but the deeper context is how the creator (Miyamoto)forgot his true love. He was so entralled with casual games like Wii Sports, that Mario is left forgotten and neglected.
In the scene where Mario is stuck in the pipe, its an expression of them trying to reinvent mario, or perhaps milking the character, thus sapping his life away slowly, or perhaps its a shot at them altering the visual style of mario too many times.
If anything, I think its a message to say don't forget your roots and where you come from, and to never neglect the things you love in life.
