Improved Wiimote/Nunchuk, yes.
It's a pretty useless console as it is. I don't use the Gamepad for NSMBU and NSLU, I won't use it for Pikmin 3, DKC:TF and SM3DW. So the main benefit of the Wii U is better graphics which is as underwhelming as it can get. All those games might as well have been on the Wii, that way I wouldn't need to own a rubbish console that can't download and install things at the same time.

doesnt it use the wiimote+ which was improved? Should they have made an even newer one?
Its interesting that you bought the console anyway, despite how rubbish it is.

The Wii U supports the original Wiimote as well as the Wiimote+.
The obvious improvement over the current setup would be the removal of the Nunchuk cord and much better motion sensing in the Nunchuk part. I am not in favor of adding an analog stick onto the Wiimote or adding a touch screen (suggestions that have been made by others), because it would overcomplicate things. What I think would be a good adjustment is the replacement of the 1 and 2 buttons with four buttons arranged in the common diamond shape which would benefit games that are played with the Wiimote held sideways while not getting in the way of games that are played one-handed or with the Wiimote/Nunchuk setup. Plus even better motion sensing than in the Wiimote+, yes.
Such a hypothetical Wii successor would also support the original Wiimote and the Wiimote+ as long as the games don't require the capabilities of the new and improved Wiimote/Nunchuk. So just like the actual Wii U does with the original Wiimote; it can be used as long as a game doesn't require Motion Plus.
As for why I bought the Wii U, it's still going to be the only place to play the best games of the eighth generation, despite how rubbish the system is.

yeah that nunchuck could use better motion sensing, but I have to wonder what games would really benefit from that? I cant picture too much genres that would be really benefit from even MORE better motion sensing, but fair enough, one could argue the same about the gamepad itself.

Aside from making the nunchuck better at motion control, I'd have like to see if there would be a way to cut the nunchuk cord or make it optional. A cordless nunchuck on par with the Wiimote+ or a normal Wii remote could make for motion options similar to those of the kinetic, offering more gameplay options for potential Wii sports or Fit style games. Heck, they could have built a new nunchuk with the intention of it ultimately being used as a stand alone standard controller rather then reusing the Wii's. Gamers are used to buying new accessories with a new system, why Nintendo did see it necessary to not provide new ones that can be purchase is one of the reasons people are hesistant about the system and refuse to consider it Next Generation.
It is not just the power of the system, Nintendo seems to have chosen almost every other major decision concerning the Wii U which makes their system seem like it was meant for the previous console generation (or just the company being cheap) rather then the start of a new one.

there are already 3rd party controllers that are wireless, I dont think a better nunchuck would help that much. it would still have trouble tracking your entire body. It wouldnt be anywhere near Kinect, for that to happen they would need a MUCH better camera and as we have seen those arent really cheap. IMHO had we gone this route it would be just as expensive as it now with the gamepad, would it have been better? No way for us to know that.
|
It doesn't have to be as good as Kinect, but making the Nunchuk on par with the Wii remote would have allowed for more options for game play then just making everything compatable with the Wii accessories. I am fine with the Gamepad but Nintendo has taken the stance that only one gamepad per system, meaning multiplayer is dependent on the standard controllers, which based off of Nintendo's offerings is still considered the Wii remotes. For Wii owners it is a godsend in not having to buy new controllers right now but can you honestly say not having better technology for the system's main input device outside of the Gamepad or something that isn't dated even on the Wii wouldn't make the system more desirable?
|
i honestly dont know, im not convinced that people still are that much into motion gaming that a better wiimote combo would have really made a difference. Especially not at 300+ which is more expensive than the Wii was originally, thats just me. I can only speak for myself, but it would have not been that diserable to me, because there still would have been limitations

The fact the Just Dance still sells millions of copies on an otherwise abandoned system suggests there's still a market for motion controls.
But you can't just duplicate the Wii experience Enhance motion alone wouldn't sell. A new Wiimote would also have to have enough imputs to be able to replace a dual analog to replace the need for a seperate Pro Controller and so all games can be ported easily. That way motion/IR is only used when it enhances and not shoehorned in due to lack of analog/buttons. But that still wouldn't be enough.
WiiU should have been powerful enough to get next gen games without significant loss (this was a mistake with Wii). But that too still isn't enough.
WiiU (like all next gen systems) needs to create a level of gameplay that hasn't been seen before. Otherwise why buy a new console? Since processing power alone no longer accomplishes this (and this is a challenge all next gen systems will face) something else needs to be introduced to take games 'to the next level'. To create that awe factor and get us all to want to go out and buy Mario, Zelda, DK, Mario Kart, Etc., etc., yet again despite it basically being the same game. Wii had motion and online (initially anyway) for that. WiiU's gamepad just fails to inspire. It's just not obvious why this will enhance gameplay.
So what should Nintendo have added (on top of enhanced Wiimote/nunchuk, online, HD, processing power)? I don't know. I don't think anyone here does.
