Motion sensors

[ArikaiHart]

I hate them. Is it so wrong to like playing video games with a controller? I mean, motion sensors (like wiimote) are intresting, sure, but after three-four games, the novelty kinda wore off. Everything seems to be going towards that, though. D=

It all depends on the quality of the game.

If the game is made well and the motion sensor works well with it, then all is good.

The problem with the Wii (especially lately) are a lot of games that are just utter crap are being released - and the only thing going for them is that they rely on the gimmick of the motion sensor controls of the Wiimote.

Nintendo is being criticized a lot lately because of the garbage they are allowing on their console. Nintendo got so used to having 3rd parties not want to make games on thier consoles (N64, gamecube) that when 3rd parties wanted to make games for them (on the Wii), they accepted them all without question - unlike Sony & Microsoft, Nintendo doesn't have strict standards, they accept junk from anybody willing to pay the fees.

I'm sort of in-between too... To be honest, all I've ever playeed on the Wii was baseball, and I sucked at it, so I can't really judge that. stare If the trend is anything like that of the DS, though... Well, The World Ends with You made such awesome use of the touchscreen that I nearly annihilated my DS with it, but with something like Pokemon? It's just entirely unnecessary, and it is a gimmick. Overall, all these new ways of gaming are novelties, and they do get old.

I think it's awesome they're out there, though. They give a lot more options, and they have potential for some awesome awesome games... but most of the time, I'd prefer to stick with my controller too.
