@ixaarii, I get what you are saying - there are not the kind of hardcore games on the Wii yet that appeal to you and others that have similar tastes (you are representative of part of the hardcore crowd). This was point in saying that a variety of hardcore games are needed on the Wii to appeal to as many segments of the hardcore crowd as possible - no one title is going to attract all hardcore gamers, but one title can attract some hardcore gamers.
About the controls, that is why I have long preferred FPS and RTS (one of my favorite genres) games on the PC, but the Wii controls are as close as you can get to the PC controls on the consoles as of now. I have seen some companies try to bring some innovation on the PS3 and 360 platforms with control set-ups such as the fragfx from SplitFish, but this is merely trying to imitate the PC's controls (which isn't necessarily a bad thing in some cases).
It has been a LONG and friendly discussion. I enjoyed it very much so!
