Question about Wii games in development.

We've had our Wii for about 1 year now, just got the WiiFit/BalanceBoard and like that too.

Our favorite games are the motion/sports/activity games that involve moving your body and having the avatar respond. You know, like the games in the WiiSports and WiiFit bundle - boxing, tennis, skiing, etc.

Now, I always figured those Nintendo games were just the start. They are rather crude after all, with the cartoonish Mii figures.

I assumed third-party game developers would come out with even better motion games with improved graphics and physics. So that you can connect w/ the other boxer and see the sweat fly and the cut bleed, get in a great nunchaku fight and dodge the flying stars, carve down a realistic downhill run at 70 mph through the sleet and flying ice, etc.

However, from what I see, the third-party games coming out for the Wii are simply versions of the standard video games, merely modified to use the Wii controller for pointing, steering, etc. A first-person shooter that lets you aim your gun using the Wii controller instead of a joystick, or a driving game that steers by tilting the controller. Nice, but not what I was hoping for.

Is anyone informed on what game developers' plans are for the Wii platform? Are games like what I'm hoping for expected to launch soon?

Thanks.
