I'd agree with that... you had the Mega Drive / Genesis with the Menacer and the Super Famicom / SNES with the Super Scope and both died a quick death.
Other than the lacklustre mini-game carts they were bundled with you had T2: The Arcade Game and Lethal Enforcers - neither of which was really suited to the 16-Bit consoles due to hardware limitations.
The Mega CD / Sega CD saw a handful of Konami light gun games (all FMV based), but i don't think any were particularly well recieved at the time.
I liked the Super Scope's mini cart. It had a light gun based variation of Tetris, as well as some other simple, but fun games. Battleclash and Metal Combat are also good stuff. I also heard good things about the Lethal Enforcers ports (which had its own lightgun and didn't support Menacer or Super Scope), even if they are better suited to more powerful hardware. I feel the Super Scope definitely fairs better than the Menacer. Super Scope had games made by Nintendo of Japan and, as far as I know, Menacer didn't have any games from SEGA of Japan. Both of Konami's Sega CD games were the games in the Lethal Enforcers series, not just some "FMV based" games. If I remember correctly, even the arcade versions of Lethal Enforcers had a mixed reception from video game magazines.
edit: If you meant non-Konami games that supported the Konami's Justifier, like Mad Dog MacCree, yeah those are mediocre. Apparently Snatcher supports the gun too. I always found it a bit odd when games like Track & Field II NES, Lone Ranger, Bayou Billy/Mad City, and Laser Scope/Gunsight had part of the game with gun support. The odd thing is that the event in Track & Field II is a bonus event that can only be played by beating over events. It isn't available in practice mode.

I was playing Confidential Mission on NullDC, with the controller, obviously. Decent Virtua Cop clone, but it's quite possibly one of the EASIEST light gun games I've ever played. The quick time events are easy, especially the final one. All you had to do is align your cursor with the computer's then pull the trigger and you've already won.
Not sure about the controller, but playing Virtua Cop (or Virtua Squad as the PC version was called, for some odd reason) with a mouse is definitely much easier than playing it with a light gun.
