It isn't that I'm refusing to move forward with them - I think that motion controls have their place. I like using the wheel on Mario Kart if I'm in the mood for something different or if I'm playing with friends. I'm also going to buy Mario Party soon, and that seems like a game where motion controls would be really fun. Wii Sports would be very un-fun without motion controls.
New Super Mario Bros Wii - the motion controls were used for -one- action. That was fine, it didn't bother me. I probably would have preferred a button combination, but I could deal with that.
Also, classic controller support would be totally okay with me. I own a classic controller, it feels good. The point is I want an alternative to the motion controls - I was saying GCN controller because that's what Moogle initially mentioned.
I would probably end up playing with the motion controls occasionally, just for variety, but it's not my ideal way to play a game like that.
Also it was more than two games, I can think of at least one other: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. So there are probably others as well.
I think the problem here is that some people feel like they have an obligation to help make a game better by trying to enjoy these controls ("moving forward with them"). You don't. You're paying Nintendo for this product, it's their job to make it as enjoyable as possible.

Just so we're clear you haven't played the game yet so you are only complaining based on hearsay?
Anyhow, as I mentioned before I actually do have issues with the motion controls in this game, but that isn't what you are arguing at all.
You are saying that they should offer a whole new control scheme for the game when the simplest solution would have been to include a Wii-mote/chuck combination that doesn't include motion. That I would have accepted, but to say that Nintendo should continue to cater to people who can't change their habits is just a terrible business practice.
Okay here is a list of Nintendo published games that use the Cube controller:
Fire Emblem
Mario Kart Wii
Samurai Warriors 3
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Super Mario Bros Anniversary
Zangeki no Reginleiv
There you go, 6 games in 4 years, 4 of which were released at least 2 years ago, 1 of which is just a port of NES games and one that probably will never see the light of day beyond Japan.
Compare that to the other two dozen or so games they released without Cube controller support, kind of shows you they weren't messing around with the idea.
As for the rest of the statement, I'm just not gonna bother with that so meh.
