Resident Evil 4 aims really well with the Wii-remote and i have a hard time imagining playing the game without one. It would probably be harder, but not in a very fun way. The game itself was pretty mindless and with an absolutely atrocious story, but i had fun with it despite that and that is taking into account how important story typically is to me. A pretty good but unremarkable game in my opinion, but don't let the aim scare you off that is easily the best part of the game and the best third person aim i've ever tried.
As for Twilight Princess then it is the best Zelda i have ever played, though part of that might be because it was the first Zelda i played for any significant amount of time. In any case the Wii-remote allows for much better aim than any other 3D Zelda i have tried since then, such as Ocarina of Time. I also personally find the world much better designed and more evocative than most games i've played, except of course for those games truly famed for excellence in this field such as Okami or Psychonauts. The graphics might not be the best when it comes to the technical side of things, but they are well-designed to such a degree that i won't hesitate to call it one of the most beautiful games i've ever played. In general if there was one of the Wii games i will recommend above all others it will be Twilight Princess, unless you have played the Gamecube Version in which case it might be a bit overkill to buy the game again.
I haven't tried Metroid Prime 3 or Super Mario Galaxy yet on account of a poor financial situation, so i cannot comment on those. However what i can comment on is that my favorite game ever, Okami originally for the PS2, is getting ported to the Wii and should supposedly be out in North America by March 25th. And while they might of course botch the port the celestial brush part of the game should work very well with the Wii-remote. In any case the game is both the most beautiful game ever due to its art direction and the best Zelda'ish game ever, in my opinion at least, so unless the port is botched or you have already played it i cannot recommend getting the Wii version as soon as it is released enough.
