Is the Wii-mote a reason to not buy a Wii?

It is a big reason why I will not be getting a wii. I don't mind motion controls being in mini games and if they are optional however I hate that they are forced on you if you get a wii. Sure you can get a classic controller but the problem with that is that all games must be designed for the wiimote as it is the standard controller for the wii.

 

Most games actually seem designed for the classic or Gamecube controller with the wiimote feeling tacked on. I use a standard controller for most of my games so the wiimote certainly isn't forced on you.

 

That's good to know since I wouldn't want it for all games. Even A review I read for MP3 did mention it's gun was simplifed some because of the remote.

Yeah, it becomes a problem with a game like Strikers Charged where they did not let you use a normal controller.  I played that game with a group of 3 friends for hours and hours in order to try to beat the first one on the harder difficulties, but having to shake the wiimote to hit people turned me off.  I might just get the original for Gamecube even though the sequel added a lot of cool features.  Oh well.

I hope all games going forward have the option to use the Gamecube or Classic controller.
