The problem with motion/mimic controls is part of the reason you play some of these games is because the majority of us arent able to do the real thing.

I laugh when people get excited about Wii getting a Star Wars game that focuses on lightsabers. Go watch some of the movies and tell me how many normal people are capable of the acrobatics involved.

People get excited about a Snowboard game with the board from WiiFit. How many of you can really Snowboard with moves in the SSX games, to mimic it with a control that mimics the actual movement means you can do the movement.

Hit that 100MPH fastball, throw that 60-70 yard bomb.

In reality gamepads are better for most games and the many of the best games on Wii (Didnt say some of the most popular) really dont make much use of the WiiMote. Tell me if I am wrong, but isnt the most eagerly awaited game for the Wii SSBM and isnt the preferred controller the GCN controller.

When you get down to it the WiiMote is mostly used to replace a push of a button with a movement of the controller, but not really a mimic of the actual action. Isnt it true in WiiSports you can just make a quick flick to swing a bat, etc.?

 Define best, i think the motions controls are very important on what I consider the best games for the Wii, and I don't want them to mimi the movements perfectly, I want them to be more accessible and natural, and that is what they are
