Motion controls are great in games like Metroid Prime, The Conduit, Goldeneye 007, Pikmin, Mario Galaxy and many more. I don't care if they are mandatory or not. It's the designer's choice. I think a lot of people rag on them when they have never played the Wii family games or any of the titles that I mentioned. Too many people bashed the controls and rode the bandwagon of trashing the Wii because it sold better than other systems or because there was a ton of shovelware/dumpware produced by non reputable companies trying to cash in. The Wii is the best game system for a variety of titles as long as you don't mind not having HD. I play classic Genesis and SNES games so I really just care about quality titles rather than the same thing everyone else is playing, just on my system.

No, people rag on the motion controls because they are infuriating to use over traditional controls (especially in the competitive).

They're inaccurate due to drift and they're uncomfortable by design. It's not a bandwagon when there are legitimate reasons for not liking motion controls.

Motion controls will improve with time just like any other technology. Besides that they may be inaccurate but they are still way superior for games like Wii Sports and in my opinion FPS games. I really want to have both: Traditional controls for complex 3D games and motion controls for my Wii Sports and Metroids.
