I never hear people using this kind of argument to suggest that Uncharted should support Move or that Halo should support Kinect. Motion controls worked for Skyward Sword, and they'll work even better for the next game. I don't want the dev team to be hung up on the question "can we also do this with traditional controls?" every time they make a new gameplay mechanic or enemy type. Especially because eventually the answer will be "no," and then the team is stifling their creative impulses for the sake of conformity.

Problem is it didn't work, and the tech is not fully ready. Might as well let people decide what they want to use until the tech is truly compelling. I played the game and as far as I was I was still struggling with the controls and found them uninteresting.

Uncharted and Halo don't have that problem, only games with motion controls do.

it worked very well actually not perfectly but very well if nothing interfered with your WiiMote

the only problem I found was recalibrating the pointer other than that I never had to once recalibrate the the Wiimote the way you do when you start the game

Cohesive is probably not the word i should have used. But from looks alone, the sky mechanic removes a sense of adventure. Its doesn't look anywhere as engaging as transversing hyrule by foot/horse back or even by boat like in Wind Waker. Many of my favourite past times in previous Zelda games have actually been the sections between temples, and the more linear means of travel doesn't sound like it will enhance those sections. 

Anyway, thats just one a few things which put me off the game, the second being the FPS sections but I'm sure I'll love the game regardless. Just waiting for a Wii U launch date and price now

At least the swordplay should stay, I found it to work very well. At first I was amazed at how accurate the sword followed my movement, it's almost perfectly exact. It really adds to the combat also, I found regular enemies and bosses too to be a lot more challenging than in traditional 'button-mashing' games. I hope they come with an upgraded version of the Wiimote eventually, with even better accuracy.

I do agree with Mr. Miyamoto, and well, you, on the subject of perfection. There were some things in Skyward Sword's motion control that were either unnecessary (the flying, the swimming), or not yet 'streamlined' (enemy reactions to motion, the bomb-rolling, the menu-systems). I indeed hope they can improve everything a lot.

Personally I think they will come up with a way to use both Wiimote and the GamePad together. It's a difficult subject, on the one hand you have the innovations made in Skyward Sword on which you would want to build, on the other you have the GamePad which is something integral to the WiiU system. If they won't find a way to use both peripherals simultaniously, and they end up with a 'control-choice', maybe they could find a way to emulate the motion aspect with the second control stick; it would control the sword. Though I don't think it would be very easy to realize or for gamers to control, it's basically impossible to use a traditional system and a motion system. That would require serious doubling of code and models and altering of puzzles, essentially creating two games.

Lastly, in general;

I'd like to say that Skyward Sword's mediocre (they're not bad, just mediocre) sales as it would seem are not all to blame on motion control imput. There are a lot of parallels with Majora's Mask on the N64. Like it, Skyward Sword was released at the end of a console's life when the successor was already announced and required an add-on or a newer controller. In that sense it was kind of expected, but I would have liked to see it reach 5m.

Besides, in reality, it's probably way higher than 3.4m anyway. Today I found the ultimate proof in a gamestore. It is impossible the games on shelves today are still from the very first print; I saw new ones with new box-art! It must be above Nintendo's december shipped units by now.

Problem is it didn't work, and the tech is not fully ready. Might as well let people decide what they want to use until the tech is truly compelling. I played the game and as far as I was I was still struggling with the controls and found them uninteresting.

Uncharted and Halo don't have that problem, only games with motion controls do.

Cool story, too bad like 99% of professional critics disagree with you. It's a drag that you were still struggling. I have a friend that couldn't really get it right, either. I know it definitely feels like it's the game at fault, but either you just haven't "gotten" it yet or you simply don't want to. It took me a few minutes to adjust and then worked great for me the whole way through. My copy of the game is not different from yours.

Games with traditional controls can and do have unresponsive controls. It's a sign of a poorly developed game. Good thing Skyward Sword's controls work beautifully.
