Way before the Nintendo Wii's release I pointed out that I thought the Wii-mote was an excellent addition to modern gaming. Tennis, bowling, Duck-hunt style shooting all seem well suited to the Wii-mote, but what about more complex gaming experiences like playing a beat-em up, flying games like Lair and Warhawk or an advanced platformer which require you to push several button combinations? |
I believe the Wiimote is a do-all input device but at the moment some developers are more focused on increasing the ammount of motion controls without considering whether it is a good idea in the first place. There are lots of "more conventional" ways to use the Wiimote+Nunchuck that are being ignored in favour of a motion control of little value.
In 2 years I expect a lot more developers will be comfortable using it in conventional ways.
