Some of the best arcade games were motion controlled.

The raft one was perfect when I was on a date in high school

 

The snowboarding and Horse riding games in the arcade were awesome too. I think motion control is best when you are playing in a group, but the motion control in Zelda SS is also fun. Maybe not for rolling bombs and walking tightropes, but fighting enimies is pretty good with it.


I admit those games were fun, but they were gimmicks for casual use. 

If you can apply the below definition of gimmick to that rowing game, then...

gim·mick

   [gim-ik]  Show IPA
noun
1.
an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratagem,especially one designed to attract attention or increaseappeal.

 

the PS3 is a gimmick and I'm being dead serious.

And these are all gimmicks: http://www.bmigaming.com/games-newitems.htm

And so are these:

All gimmicks. Every single one of them.
