So this is a Wii limitation. The Wii Remote doesn't know the size or distance of the TV - it can only see the Sensor Bar's IR lights - so the speed of the cursor on the screen was set to what more or less matched typical television sizes and view distances of the time. And 70in televisions were not common in 2006! As this is baked into the SDK that the games are using for Wii Remote control, we can't really dig in and change how the Wii Remote works in this without causing a LOT of problems.

But there is a way you can tweak this on your own. The Wii Remote guesses how close it is to the television based on the distance the sensor bar light clusters are from eachother. So if you really care about this, you can mod your sensor bar. Take it apart, add some wire extensions, and maybe 3D print some brackets for each half, and you can make a sensor bar that will fool the Wii Remote into realizing the screen is bigger!
