One of the main issues with the Wii, is that if you're going to make a traditional game, one that would not benifit in the least from Motion controls, it's far better to put it on a platform that will let you make the game look and feel the way you want it to. The Wii is far from State-of-the-art, and MGS4 wouldn't be as impactful, nor would Bioshock, nor would Resident Evil 5 I would venture to say, because atmosphere and detail are some of the great parts of those games.
Resident Evil 5 is potentially a great improvement on RE4 simply because it can present itself more the way the developers imagined it, with fewer restrictions because of Hardware. The Resident Evil director even mentioned that they can finally depict Chris Redfield's age properly, whereas before the hardware capabilities forced him to look younger than he was.
You also have to look at whether the Wiimote couldn't be equally served by a mouse. Zack and Wiki presented a lot of potential, but a lot of the core game could have been point and click with something we've had since the 1980s. That said, I for one would be estatic if they remade Monkey Island or the Quest for Glory series on the Wii.
Because of hardware limitations, the only reason to justify putting something on the Wii from a PURELY artistic standpoint is if you have a game design that needed the Wii controls. Although there have been a few examples of things that couldn't be done better on some other console, a lot of the current games merely use them as a gimmick.
Oh, and looking at the motion sensor as just another button, like say, with swinging Leon's knife in RE4, the PS3's sixaxis has filled that role on several occasions, one example off the top of my head would be Folklore. Although admitedly from an immersion perspective if you were to try this with RE4 (Barring the point and shoot thing), swinging the bulky Sixaxis controller around is less than swinging something that at least remotely resembles a knife.
As a developer, the only reason I would put a traditional game on the Wii would simply be to throw the Wii owners a bone. As an artist with a vision, I would care less if the yapping Wii owners got thier meal or not.
That's not to say I can't come up with several game designs off the top of my head that would work well on the Wii, and only on the Wii. The Wii has a lot of untapped potential, it would just take someone with imagination to pull it off. Maybe someday we'll see a true epic on the Wii, but for now, it has Mario Galaxy.
