I just wish Nintendo would stop with the fucking gimmicks so developers don't have to spend the first half of the console's life cycle trying to shoehorn it into their games. I can't think of a single Wii game apart from Wii Sports that NEEDED motion controls. Like, that was the only game, the one that the system was packaged with, that made me think 'Hey this motion control stuff really adds to the experience.'
Kinect is a different story. Kinect games don't use a controller designed to be held 8 different ways and then shoved laterally up your butt. It's not dependent on Force Feedback. You are the controller, literally. And that is good. The Wii is great for the games that are actually video games. No More Heroes, Monster Hunter Tri, SUPAH MARIO GALAXIEEEEE all excellent, all perfectly functional without motion controls. I don't think the console was a failure but whatever market-altering intentions Nintendo had with it (if any) fell flat on their face.
In short: Motion controls are for fucking losers and the Irish.
