Not trolling this is a legitimate discussion. The other thread was closed with no reason. So answer the question since MP3 what very good game (Not something that just sold well) really made use of the WiiMote (AKA better game with motion controls than standard controls).

Guitar Hero 3 - Nope
SMG - Nope
SSBB - Nope
Mario Kart - Nope
WiiFit - Nope. Its main claim to fame is board and selling on novelty of improving fitness.

Where is the next big WiiMote game? Something that really says this is why the WiiMote is special.


The Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 is the only one that has rumble, and where the sound from missing a note comes from the guitar. It's also way cheaper to make due to using the wiimote's own transmission technology, which is probably one of the reasons the game was 10€ cheaper than the 360/PS3 version.

In Super Mario Galaxy you use the pointer while playing for a bunch of semi-crucial stuff, and waggling to do the spin attack is somewhat more interesting than pressing a button.

In Brawl you can use the wiimote as a normal controller if you want, but otherwise the controls are pretty much the same as on the Gamecube.

Mario Kart comes with a steering wheel, which would cost a lot without the wiimote's motion detection.

There are games that would only ever work with the wiimote (Zack&Wiki, Wii Sports), games that work significantly better with wiimote (the entire FPS genre), games that can do stuff with the wiimote that would otherwise require expensive peripherals (lightgun, racing), and games that are mostly the same as they would be with a traditional controller (Twilight Princess, UR MR GAY). That's how it's supposed to work, and what most people have been expecting.

Should we be somehow offended by how every single game isn't designed so it would absolutely never work without the wiimote? The whole point is that the controller can be used to play the kinds of games we had last gen and now on the other consoles, as well as whatever the craziest nutters out there can come up with for the motion detection and pointer functions.

Honestly, the way you're putting it sounds more like you're desperately looking for things to complain about than anything else.
