Cursor, a cursor. My Wii for a Cursor...(well not really)

So, I am currently neck deep in designing the interface for our first Nintendo Wii game. Now, having done a slew of research on various Wii games that are out, I am rooting around for some inspiration for a pointer. Yes, like Zelda, Like Harry Potter we are having a pointer on screen to reflect where the wii-mote is aiming. Now, previously titles either use a 3D glowing ball or some sort of glow effect, and that does look very nice indeed. I am tempted to say that it is very useable, and does not need improving upon, but I feel compelled to try.

So my question, faithful reader(s), is any ideas on what could be used instead? It can't be anything too spindly, must not resemble anything from an RTS (real time strategy) game, so no crosshairs etc. Can you help?!?!

Going cycling this weekend, as I have deemed the weather good enough to go out. I know being a fair weather cyclist does not make me a hard core cyclist, but to be fair, I don't care. :D
