| Leynos said: I say this as someone who thinks Wii gets more shit than it deserves. Had a lot of hidden gems even outside Nintendo's own games. I think it was a very good system. I also believe it's the very worst console of its generation. Simply because it's clunky as hell to use. Most of the motion stuff aged poorly. It's a lot easier just to turn a 360 and PS3 and play a game |
I don't think "aged" is the right word here, motion controls were painful to use even in 2008. Switch joycons disconnect fairly often but not as often as Wii remote. I remember playing Donkey Kong Country on uncle's Wii and damn it this shit was leggy, sometimes the game just couldn't detect my movements which is absolutely the worst thing possible to happen in a platformer
The idea of motion controls were to provide basic/abstract input and let the software do the job for you, I always found them too imprecise and leggy to be fun at all. I can't see a game that ask you to be precise like Hollow Knight, Ori or Celeste working with motion controls, it's not "tight" enough to work. Maybe it has good synergy with shooters, but alas I don't like shooters. For everything else traditional controllers all the way
