Highly disagree, Splatoon's amazing gameplay, the most important thing, makes it well worth using a control scheme you already know how to use and actively use in 90% of games you play. Demanding/expecting games use the system's non-primary control scheme is silly in it of itself, but Wiimote controls psychically wouldn't even work in this game, not well anyway. Not enough inputs even without counting the second screen functionality, and how would turning work besides being awkwardly slow, a complete no no for a fastpaced game. For this type of game, wiimote controls would actually be the worst method as there's a lot more to it than simply aiming.

I see you're writing off the Switch port already. So, you think the dual-analog (the primary method) is to one to go? Motion control is the secondary option. 

There's no control method I use in 90% of the games I play, I use Wii Remote sideways, NES controller, 2DS D-pad roughly 60% of the time. Secondly, when talking about shooters, I've been using the Wii Remote+Nunchuck option by far the most, and it is best suited for the fast paced arcade action. Splatoon isn't that different from Metroid Prime, Water Warfare or Onslaught.

 

How am I writing off the Switch port? I also don't understand your question, why would dual analog be going anywhere, they've shown it's still there in the Switch trailer. It's motion that we don't yet know about. Also even with the gyro on you're still using dual analog.

I didn't mean just you, I'm talking in general. I shoulda specified the type of game where the vast majority use the standard control scheme being console shooters of course, but it still holds true that basically everyone knows how to use that set-up. I don't know what the later two games are but Metroid Prime is definitely not a fast paced multiplayer shooter and if the other two games are like it then they're not a good comparison either. My explanation still holds for why Wiimote controls wouldn't work for Splatoon, that's most likely the reason they weren't an option.
