The thing is.. until now, games haven't been able to touch the type of realism that companies are striving for. The type of realism wasn't able to be recreated back then. PCs of course have been getting closer and closer all the time, if you have a machine that can handle those type of graphics.
Immersion is great.. and hey, if Nintendo can make a -better- version of what they just did, I would LOVE IT. But until they get something that looks good enough, and has enough nice touches in it to make me feel like I'm really there.. using my hands to actually strangle a game character isn't going to do much. Especially when most all non-Nintendo games controls suck. They're so awkard and clunky that it gets too hard to stay interested because you're always fighting with it.

Nintendo's controller took away the diversity of attacks. Think of how many combinations are in a lot of hack n slash games these days. They're too hard to copy with the controller, and you end up with a few basic attacks depending which way you're holding the controller.
