If it's any Nintendo console that's underrated it's the WII ... I don't understand the hate for a good console. 

NES got the credits it deserved, SNES was a little overrated, N64 and GC were trash because they didn't come close to delivering a worthwhile experience.

I almost agreed with an entire post of yours! But yeah, the Wii has plenty of worthy games for serious gamers that never require you to wiggle. I hate it when people act like every game makes you shake, rattle and roll.

Most of them do, and thats what the problem was.

It's not a problem if you read reviews beforehand so you know what you're getting into, and only play what sounds relevant to your interests. How is that any different than any game on every console ever?

Most of the good third party games made for the hardcore gamer crowd let you forego motion controls entirely, and many even gave you the option to play with a Classic Controller. There are a few that required motion input, like Okami, Zak & Wiki, and Red Steel 2, but if you have a problem with motion controls in games like those, that's a "you" problem, and I question why you ever bothered to own a Wii at all. Okami was truly enhanced by motion controls and turned combat from a button masher into a timing and rhythmic brawler, and painting actions more seamless and natural. If you take the motion controls out of Red Steel 2, you have no game.

There was a lot of crap that was born from motion controls, but anyone who thinks it never enhanced any games is only kidding themselves.

By the way, when I say "you," I don't mean at oniyide, I mean "you" in general.
