| Significant_leap said: hey hey Dolphin, speak for yourself! im the most traditional gamer in the world but i can accept something new if its fun enough (Wii Resort for example) and the wiimote just rapes every other control input for games like Tennis, bowling, golf, FPS, TPS, On-rails shooters, in the end the Wiimote, CCpro combo is the best option, but i guess people just didnt like the Wii becaues it didnt offer a significant leap on grafix ;) if people buy games based on the image of the hw maker.... its just very sad... |
@bold. Well, I strongly believe that's what it is. Why then do gamers discard the good games that came out on Wii. Why do they chose to ignore or dismiss them? IF they really didn't judge on image, wouldn't they appreciate the quality games, as few as they were? You'd think they would...
@Tennis, bowling, etc. True, the Wiimote is the way to go for those. It makes you wonder why people were dismissing them so eagerly. FPS I'll admit it can get tiresome to hold the wiimote up. Then again, isn't immersion an important aspect of game controls and gaming in general? Where did that consideration go?
On-rails shooters were always considered core games with Time Crisis and House of the Dead. But once they were incorporated on the Wii, on-rails shooters became the laughingstock of shooter games. It's quite ironic.
I'm not advocating against the existence of traditional game controls. I'm just saying its odd that the wiimote was dismissed so eagerly, despite its obvious gaming potential, especially for the genres you mentioned.
Fair, for tennis and bowling the technology is still not yet quite ready, so I can understand it being criticized. But dismissed? That's a little much imho. Once Move Sports Champions came out, suddenly the position changed. It can make a person really bitter.
As for the CCPro, it is not a good controller. It is very flimsy. A good controller needs to feel like you're holding something. Also, the D-pad on the classic controller is a shame, Nintendo is king of the D-pad, they dropped the ball with the CC imho. It's a pity. That's a place where Nintendo's at fault. Here's to hoping the WiiU Propad will not require tethering and will have a substancial weight to it, and here's to hoping Nintendo will make a trad gamer SKU (please God).
