Sqrl said:Wow, I feel almost exactly the opposite. I think the Wiimote paves the way for new exciting gameplay that was never possible before and I think this is exactly why the Wii is a success. As far as a downgrade from the GC, I don't even think thats possible to say honestly. The fact that it can play all GC games and you can use the GC controllers for new games makes me think that if developers really thought the Wii-Mote was a limitation they would provide alternatives (and in the case of SSBB they did).

 

I just don't see it. Outside of mini-games, what exactly does the Wii-mote improve? How does it improve Action-adventure games, Platformers, RPG's, ect? I have yet to see it even from 1st party games.

 

That depends on what you call minigames. Bowling and Golf are a hell of a lot better and I personally think that they are not minigames, especially golf. As for the other genres, there are a lot of people who absolutely love Godfather on the Wii but hate it on most/all other consoles. And by all accounts from reviewers MP3 has phenomenal controls made possible by the combo, and similar things have been said about SMG. I personally love Madden because it makes me feel a lot more like I am playing football than any PS2 version ever did, its not excercise or anything but when I whip the remote I get a bullet pass and I make a lofting arch when I want to put some air under the ball. 

Does every title make great use of the controller? Not by a long shot. 

Does that mean it isn't a lot of fun when it is used properly? Of course not. 

You are by all means entitled to your opinion, but I have seen so much potential from the games I own and have played so far and I see so much more potential in the very near future that I am confident that when I decided to get a Wii over a PS3 or 360 I made the right choice.
