What ideas? Motion controls are still a staple of the wildly successful Switch 14 years later, while Wii's "blue ocean" strategy of appealing to non-gamers has been taken up by smartphone gaming in a huge way. |
A reach
Motion controls are a minor part of Switch that few games take advange of. I can only think 4 games on Switch that surpassed 1 million sales respecting on Motion controls: Ring Fit, Switch Boxing, arms and 1-2 Switch
And if Anything smartphones are far more linked to DS than Wii's
Will's impact might be big but it was not lasting. Other companies tried to copy the gimmick and sucked, not even Nintendo is risking making games motion control based anymore because they understand their limited appeal. When they tries to incorporate into in a more traditional game let's say Arms the outcome was at best underwhelming
The lasting impact of Wii I can think of is popularizing fit and dancing games with motion controls. But dance games always existed and were kind popular already, they just didn't yet resort in motion controls
