You guys NEED to check out excite truck, and not just the early simple levels. The control system for that works pretty damn well and is heaps of fun.

Aiming the bow and arrow while riding the horse in Zelda is marvellously intuitive.

Wiisports is incredibly simple yet fun. I haven't had anyone fail to enjoy the tennis and bowling (even my mum played for a bit).

I'm not saying the control system is suited for every game (it's not) but it is a lot better than you imagine.
