You don't get to the arcade much, do you? Games exactly like you have described have been around since the early 90s... and no, it's not that great. You're still using a plastic controller to simulate actions. Personally, I would prefer to use the mouse because after a half hour of playing those light gun things, my arm gets tired.
Remember "Duck hunt" and the infamous light gun attachment? Sure, it was fun for awhile... but I'm pretty sure there's a reason something doesn't exist for the XBOX or PS. Same is true for the "Power glove" and "Power pad". The only thing I've seen recently like this is the "Eye Toy"... and while it's fun to use, I certainly wouldn't want it to be my main controller. Sometimes, I just don't feel like flailing around in front of the TV...
I can see this thing being practical for just a handful of games... which makes me wonder why Nintendo is making such a big deal about it. I would've been far more impressed if this was an addon released a month or two after the console.
[EDIT]
After reading that, I realize how negative I sound... It's not so much that I'm negative, just very skeptical. I really am looking forward to trying it out and seeing what Nintendo does with it. I'm just afraid (convinced?) Nintendo's gonna dissapoint everyone.
By the way, I meant to post this video I found:
