there are games you can play without the wiimote with a pro controller espacially the virtual console games

No, you need a wiimote to play games you downloaded on your Wii. Unless Nintendo recently changed it...

you cant even access the wii store or the wii menu or launching wii disc game without the previous controller.

 

It should work without any wiimote if the game supports normal controls, but nintendo doesnt allow it.

Yes, because you cant play the games without the previous controller. Whats the point of just looking around in the Wii menu or buy games you cant play?

No and even if you could, you couldnt play any of the games without the wiimote. So what would be the point of accessing it?

The problem is that they never used it at all. If you want to innovate, use the innovation properly. I had nothing wrong with the motion controls. In fact, I enjoyed them due to the fact that Nintendo actually used it.

 

No denying that the Gamepad was just innovation for the sake of innovation, but technically it's not the Gamepad's fault Nintendo didn't do more with it. Plus do you really need innovation to enjoy gaming? I think all that matters is if the games are good and the controller doesn't get in the way of you playing them.

My point was innovation should only be implemented if it will be used.

yes you could, the virtual console games only use the buttons and the digipad, no motion controls. The Wii U gamepad has buttons and a digipad

So? The 360 controller has the same amount of buttons as the XB1 controller, but you cant use the 360 controller on the XB1?
