It's not possible to patch Wii games, whenever they have a major glitch they've had to issue new disks. It's unfortunate, but it's the way the operating system was designed.
The real problem is the Wiimote can only detect strait line movements. Because of that it comes down to how well individual developers implement motion controls. For example I felt No More Heroes implement motion controls very well, normal attacks used buttons but finishing moves, where you decapitate someone or cut them in half, used motion controls. An arrow showed you which direction to slash and it worked just fine 99% of the time.
Of course the pointer is awesome, much better for shooters then duel analog (though not as good as a keyboard and mouse of course). Games like Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime 1/2 control much better then their Gamecube counterparts.
Actually they did originally consider including a gyroscope in the Wiimote, but at the time they were too big and too expensive. Only recently did they become small enough and cheap enough.From my experience, the original Wiimote is just the next-gen version of the PowerGlove; the PowerPimpstick. I'd love to try out how well the Wii MotionPlus performs, but I'm convinced of it's performance just from reviews, and because the addition of a second data stream is something that any moron who passed fucking high-school algebra would have figured out long before the Wii's concept stage.
Yes, I had a terrible time with the Wii.
