| Kyros said: "Why not use the pointer as a replacement for the camera angles?" You can do many things. But I had a longer playing session with Zelda and in the end the standard controller has all controls (and more) and it is much more relaxed. You have everything in your hand I think its more precise and you can lay back in the couch. Personally I would say for games with swinging motions (tennis) the Wii controller wins hands down For FPS I think the results are split, pointing and shooting with Wii motion controls is fun but I am not sure about the duck-hunt atmosphere. (Keyboard+Mouse win hands down of course) For Action Adventures the standard controller has a distinct edge Fighting/Arcade games are unplayable with motion controls. But these are my personal preferences. |
I won't argue your personal preferences, but just wanted to comment that I have found the Wii controller scheme more relaxed and comfortable because the Wiimote+Nunchuk do not require holding your hands so close together.
When I purchased the Wii and Twilight Princess back in January, I spent many afternoons and nights playing TP for stretches of 4, 6 or even 8 hours without breaks, sitting back in my recliner with both arms on the arm rests on either side. Blowing off my family obligations and playing video games for half a day is something I have not done for a long, long time on a console. The PC ... yes, but it has been YEARS since I've done that with any console.
The only complaint I have with the Wii is the tether between the two halves of the controller. Eliminate that and add batteries to the Nunchuk (which would also add the benefit of a few more ounces weight, which I feel it needs) and I'd be in gaming heaven.
