That's cool. For 4 player party games though, you'd expect very simplistic controls. LBP for example really just has movement, jump and grab. Everything else is pretty useless when it comes to playing the game. The wand has more than enough buttons for opening and using the menus in the game.

Makes sense. Also, as previously mentioned by someone, I can't think of any Wii games that have 4 player mutiplayer and necessitate having both Wiimote and nunchuk for the players, so while in theory this is a limitation, it should not really limit anything. Now the lag issue, if it will still be there at launch, that's something else.

Games that support 4 people and must use remotes/nunchucks

  • Mario Strikers Charged (the best multiplayer game on Wii)
  • NHL 2k10
  • PES 2009 (or any soccer)
  • NBA 2k10 (or any basketball)

None of them are forcing you to use a nun-chuck, but the following games use it and are typically gimped/casualized if they don't have the nunchuck.

  • Grand Slam Tennis (or any tennis)
  • Madden (or any football)
  • Mario Kart (the "best" control scheme if you want to be the fastest)
  • Brawl (it's better than just a Remote, but not as good as a classic/GC)
  • Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 & TV
  • Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
  • Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
  • TMNT Smash-Up
  • Wii Music

Obviously most those style games will either be limited to 2-player with motion, be gimped, or they won't support motion controls at all. I'm also sure that if I actually dug through the database I could find more that necessitate the controls.

Haha, ok sorry, in my defence i have never played any of these games (except for Mario Kart, and i play that one "casually", with a wheel).
