So, like, I feel the limitations of hardware kinda forces the kino out of games. I fundamentally want to agree with you, however I've played games that were similar to each other across the wii and ps3, and what I found was ps3 games often were bloated with cinematic moment and set pieces, where as the wii games were condensed and ripe gameplay without out padding to show off how pretty the graphics were.
I'm browsing through my wii games now, quite a few of them don't have motion controls at all or don't have any I can remember and the 2 I know do have them only use them for finishers and its just s flick of the wrist.
I liked City Folk too but it's pretty different. It's a farming game. If you've ever played Slime Rancher or Stardew Valley it's like those more recent games.
Animal Parade is from the Wii era. Nowadays their former localization company is using the English name "Harvest Moon" to make shit basically knockoff games that only sell due to brand recognition but the original series is still going under the name "Story of Seasons"
Yes and no. A gimmick to me means something that adds no value to the game. It can be added or taken away and doesn't really affect the end result. Most of the games they mentioned are just fine without motion controls and arguably better without them.
It's not good because of the wii though. It's good in spite of it. The motion controls really don't add that much IMO it's more for casuals (yes I realize I'm neurodivergent)

I really enjoyed how different it was and the style. Just sucks that the more traditional paper mario games after kind of sucked and went full gimmick.

Name a single good Wii game that isn't Wii sports !g*mers
Challenge mode: name a good Wii game that wouldn't have been better on a different console
(i.e. wasn't held back by shitty Wiimote controls or awful Wii graphics)

Honestly that game is incredible and I love it. It gets overlooked because of the rabbids IP attached to it.
