It sounds ridiculous, and initially I tried it for a laugh... but I was surprised to discover that the control it offered felt really good. Subtle analogue movement under the thumb, paired with lightning-fast mouselook. The best of both worlds!
(Admittedly, I've got extra motivation to avoid WASD as it's given me some troublesome RSI in the past.)
As for FPS's on the Wii - I haven't had much experience with them, but what I've seen hasn't looked good. The big problem seems to be the way you turn by moving the reticule to the side of the screen. It makes it nigh-on impossible to turn and aim simultaneously, which is a big problem really. Prime 3's lock-on is hardly an acceptable solution for a regular FPS.
Hopefully the Wii U's circle pads will offer enough precision for FPS games, but I can see why it's a worry. If Nintendo is hoping to win back the core crowd then the circle pads don't seem ideal.
