There's the Wiimote plus, there's a classic controller pro, there's a new Zelda game which requires us to use the motion plus, a device that made me wonder whether or not Nintendo thought we were idiots because quite frankly I can't see why I should get it just for one lousy game. It's not a good investment you know? I like Zelda a lot but one game? One game only? As good as it might be, that's just a bad investment to buy a Wiimote plus for. Also as much as I appreciate the help (I really do, thank you guys) people that suggest the cumbersome add-on don't seem to get the point I'm making, it's still the fact that I'm buying an extra peripheral for the one game.

It just doesn't seem like a person can justify such a purchase, you know what I mean?

Anyway there's all of a sudden these 3 European RPGs that seem to have some level of mystique about them, though I do not really understand the context of and what it's all about, having not been aware of them. The 3 being Xenoblade, The Last Story, and I believe a Pandora's Tower?


Is it worth getting a classic controller pro if I already have the classic controller? Is there really much of a difference between playing... say... Xenoblade with a regular classic controller and a classic controller pro? I don't know if I want to buy a classic controller pro for just this one game. And whether or not those other 2 aforementioned RPGs would play better with the device.

As well as other games such as the ones available on the Virtual Console that require a classic controller. And how much more comfortable the CC Pro happens to be.


So basically, my points boil down to:


1) Worth getting a wiimotion plus despite the lack of games I'm interested in for it? If there are any other than Red steel 2 and aforementioned Zelda?

2) Worth getting a classic controller pro as a controller I'll be continuously using for many various games, not just these new RPGs?

3) High profile games released now, within the apparent end of the Wii's lifecycle?


And... I think that's all? Unless there are other high profile/low profile games I missed besides the new Zelda and these RPGs I know little about other than praise that's been given by people? I actually just finished doing a few Wii purchases on Amazon to catch up on 1 or 2 games released in 2010 and even from previous years.

- Red Steel 2 and Wii Sports Resort are both good games that use the WM+. And there are some sports games if that's your thing.

- WM+ you can often get with the game. At this point, some of these games are discounted. So it's practically free.

- There are three JAPANESE RPGs, not European. They have all been released in Europe and Australasia, I think 2/3 of them have released in the states.

- Controllers are the same, just different cosmetic design. Pro is more confortable, but no biggy.

- These 3 games have released a while ago in Japan, so they're high quality games that can bridge the gap to the Wii U merely by localising.

- There were a few other games I'm sure you've missed out on, such as Donkey Kong Country Returns and the two Kirby games.

- You could've googled most of this lol.

Indeed.

Also, those first two questions (the first especially) would be better off in the recommendation thread.
