I've never been a fan of the CRT/scan-line thing. I mean I get the nostalgia of it as that's how they looked back in the day. But for me, pixel perfect sharpness is always going to be preferred. As long as you're not super close to the TV it looks great (being super close can make scrolling look a bit odd I find).
I generally don't like emulating games for actually playing them on my laptop for this reason - you're just too close to the screen.
I think the main problem with the mote-n-chuck controls were that you didn't really have a choice if you used them or not. Mario Galaxy would have been fine with a classic controller but the option simply wasn't there. (Side note: the whole classic controller having to be plugged into the Wii-mote was utter balls).
This lack of options would hurt games like Metal Slug (shake to grenade basically means you will die...) and sadly Nintendo has never really learnt from this lack of flexibility, with Star Fox being the biggest casualty.
'Odd' control schemes are fine, and may be the 'true' way to play the game - but don't make it the 'only' way...
