Rather just make the game and if anything could use some of the DS' extra features it was utilized. Course I don't see the Wii changing its tune unless the market goes sour but its more of an interesting "what if" if anything.
Except even without the motion sensing you can use the controller perfectly fine. It has the A and B buttons, Z and C on the left with the control stick. + and -, the D pad 4 directions, and even the two 1, 2 buttons on the bottom. Granted those two bottom buttons can be a pain in the butt to reach, but that leaves, 6 buttons plus the 4 D-pad directions for controls.

It's a different set up than most people are use to, but it really shouldn't be that big of a deal, cause it can work for smash bros pretty well(2nd favorite to GC just because that's what I was use to). It's my preferred control for Mario Kart, and for FPS, well you should use the aim thing anyways, Metroid Prime 3 showed it could be done excellently.
