So do you think motion controls, generally speaking, add to the gameplay experience?

About the gamepad, why don't u use it? Do you have one of those hardcore controllers instead?

What do u mean "can't download and install things at the same time", is that important to you or are you just ironic?

Motion controls can improve the experience for certain types of games, but they are only one function of the Wiimote/Nunchuk configuration. The IR pointer improves pretty much every game that contains aiming and shooting. Even without using motion controls and the IR pointer, it's a very good controller. There was no good reason to ditch it as the standard controller.

I play games with the controller that works best and that usually isn't the Gamepad. The same goes for the "hardcore controller" which is basically just a Gamepad without a screen.

And yes, it's important to me that a console doesn't remind me of a filthy PC. It always pisses me off that I have to go through a 5-10 minutes long install after a 15-20 minutes long download. If I am downloading something, then I have obviously already made the decision that I will use said something. No need to separate the download and install.

I agree that they should have taken the SNES to NES approach with Wii U.  A refined Wii Remote would have been the way to go.  A second Analogue stick incorporated in some way, perhaps a more rounded appearance with a couple extra buttons.  Add the "8th" axis that the Gamepad has which orientates itself to the center of the earth (the Gamepad has outstanding gyro).

Then launch with a really upgraded Wii Sports 3, use the money saved on the Gamepad to up the power just a little more, and have all the titles ready to go a few months earlier.  Would have been a much better approach.
