The Wii U needs more motion-controlled games. Otherwise it will be a disappointment.
I will agree that if games that did really well on Wii due to motion/IR controls ditch those on the Wii U I'll be a bit disappointed. I'm specifically thinking of driving games and first-person titles - whether light-gun games or full-blown action titles.
Zombi U not implementing a single-player option for remote+nunchuk is a large part of what put me off about that game. It was bad enough feeling like I had to fiddle about doing something as basic as whacking a zombie with a cricket bat, but having to use a right analogue stick to aim was just dismal.
Similarly that Sonic racer is one I could have gotten behind, but after all these years of having the perfect built-in driving controller in the Wii Remote to release a game that has crap motion controls? I just don't get how that's possible. Even Need for Speed Nitro's lame use of a "drift button" (did no one play Excite Truck on any of these dev teams? Drifting worked great without using a button!) still controlled better than Sonic.
I'm sure Nintendo will deliver in the form of another Excite game and Mario Kart (as well as hopefully an F-Zero game), but 3rd parties really need to play to the system's strengths and that means old as well as new.
