The last really good Wii game that was made to use the WiiMote was MP3. SMG motion controls were tacked on, SSBB better with standard controls (Dont even think that it use motion controls), MarioKart WII better with standard controls (According to the reviewers).


I've not played SSBB.

But have played SMG and Mario Kart....Just wondering how you define "better" for MarioKart controls? 

Slightly beating your best time?  Yeah, probably. 

Having more fun, getting more enjoyment out of the game, being able to pick the game up and play with minimum instructions, getting people to play the game who would never have picked up a standard controller and played it?  No, not a chance.

The Wii control scheme makes MarioKart more fun, more enjoyable and more accessible.  That's what I would class as "better" controls.

As for SMG.... I love the nunchuck + Wiimote setup, hands independent of each other.  The Co-op mode is also great for more fun and more accessibility and wouldn't work nearly as well with a standard controller.
