No it didnt, TP was terrible with motion controls, Metroid was a FP game so that relied more on pointer controls more than motion, Red Steel was terrible. You must be thinking about the sequel which had to use motion+ and the difference is night and day. Pretty much any game that relied on a lot of movement sucked pre motion+ on Wii, I would ask you to name me some that didnt, but the fact you even brought up Red Steel 1 tells me you just had lower expectations or didnt mind. fair enough, to each his own. 

Find me a link where someone from either camp said that wiimote sucked JUST cause it was from Nintendo. That is baseless and doesnt even make any sense. They most likely said it sucked because Ninty, quite frankly made a half assed product. Not because it was JUST Nintendo.

Really? Man that's pathetic, people will do anything for a few clicks these days i guess.

Your comments prove that you do not own or have used a Wii U.

The best thing for me with the second screen has been two player games each with their own screen.  I HATE SPLIT SCREEN....it's so "last gen".

btw...the responce time of using any tablet/smartphone/Vita make it hard to use them for anything more than a map screen.  Try using an item next time before bashing on it, otherwise, it makes you look childish.

I always advise people to click through to original sources if the posted article was not the original.  Video game journalism (of which I'm often times ashamed of  my association) tends to be the worst offenders of headline baiting and subjective editorializing in news.

my first experience with wii sports i just waggled and flickd the mote while sitting down and hit homeruns almost each time or a highspeed pitch. i thought it was pretty lame. but i still bought a wii. so obviously i didnt hate it because it was nintendo. 

so obviously agree with you. 

Actually I've been playing Wii Sports and it's use of the wiimote is still remarkable good.  Godfather, Scarface, Bully all had great use of motion that enhanced gameplay.  Dewy's Adventure, Elebits, Let's Tap, Zack & Wiki, Mercury Meltdown, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Tiger Woods (better with MW+).  Early FPSs were poor but starting the MoH: Heroes2 they improved dramatically.   I love how it was used in Tomb Raider: Anniversary and put to excellent use in Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands.    There were lots, but also, lots of not-so-good use.

He's probably embarrased that the 3ds is selling better in Japan than America.

The game pad is great and very unique, i think in time it will catch on. Off tv play to me is such a useful option, simple idea, yet effective.Both Sony and Microsoft are going to be busy fighting each other for marketshare again and Nintendo will do their thing. I like that, why do we want 3 identical consoles? Nintendo set themselves apart from the others and try to explore different opportunities in the market,whilst appeasing the Nintendo crowd. This is what Nintendo do now, if they follow suite and have specs and features similar to MS and Sonys consoles, certain gamers still wouldnt give them the time of day.
