Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Best motion controls on Wii

Off-topic, but besides Metroid Prime 4, I really wish more shooters would make the game around the concept of motion controls.

RE4 Wii was awesome! The ability to aim using the pointer was great!

Godfather was pretty damn good. Then somehow EA lost ability to code for the remote and reverted to waggle lol

Another early EA effort that was really impressive was Medal of Honor Heroes 2.

Besides having smooth and highly customizable pointer controls years before The Conduit, it used a ton of really cool motion controls like pumping the nunchuk to pump a shotgun, dialing a sniper scope in and out by rotating the Wiimote, and lifting the Wiimote to your shoulder to mimic a bazooka, so that the speaker goes off with a launching sound next to your ear. Super awesome stuff.



anything with the IR pointer was great. I really hated the switch from IR to motion plus in skyward sword.



I like the racing games. Mario Kart, Excitetruck and Excitebots.

Sin & Punishment sequel baby ! 

I've never played those two games, but it's funnily enough one of the games I hope for the most on Switch   

The games just look so fun! 



I have really enjoyed my time with Skyward Sword, but while the swordplay is cool, the motion controls of Metroid Prime 3 and Trilogy weren't just cool, they were exceedingly practical. I think that Metroid Prime 3 remains the best example of motion controls integrated perfectly into a game.



Pikmin/Pikmin 2 by far. The added pointer controls in the Wii releases were incredibly precise and made the game much easier and more fun to play. Going back to sticks afterwards feels really counter-intuitive to me.



Zelda Skyward Sword



Red Steel 2 and Skyward Swords played incredibly well considering they were heavily reliant on motion controls.
