DICE: No successful shooters on Wii due to difficult control scheme

I mean.  It's not up to mouse.... but i'd say the numchuck is superior to Keyboard.

That's me though.

I could see the Wiimote being better for games that involve LOTS of strafing and moving around, aka highspeed shooters.

I concur with this sentiment: what you lose in aiming accuracy coming from a mouse, you gain in movement accuracy with the nunchuck so it is, at worst, a wash.

Also, in the long run, I might actually prefer the 'inaccurate' Wiimote to some degree since it makes preternaturally accurate shots a bit trickier. Of course i can't say that with any real authority since I haven't played enough FPS games w/ well-implemented controls on Wii (primarily because enough don't exist) but it leaps and bounds better than dual analogue something I, admittedly, loathe in FPS' due to their acutely cumbersome nature.

I wouldn't say it was a wash.  I'd think better aiming beats better manueverability in most if not all FPS.

I just think a mouse+Nunchuck type setup would probably work best for shooters.
