There's something about the simplicity and freedom of using the wiimote like a NES controller in SPM, Excite Truck, etc. that I really like. When I buy games on the VC, I try to find a good NES one. If I feel like playing a game, I'm more likely to pick up a wiimote-only game. When SSX Blur came out, the fact that it used both controllers made it less appealing. Obviously I still love FPS Shooters and the like where you need both, and it adds depth and thought to them. But I think this shows one of the Wii's strong points. I never even owned a NES or SNES, but it just feels right this way. While this wasn't on my long list of reasons to buy the Wii in November, it's one of the main reasons I turn it on now. Maybe it's the tiny sexy controller, maybe it's that it's completely wireless, maybe it's the old-school simplicity, but I like it. I'm not really sure if I'm explaining right, because it makes even less sense after I've read through this, but anyone else agree?
I'm partial to nunchuck games, I like the whole coordination learning curve that I needed for games like Madden and SSX. It's a challenge I've never had to face before in a video game.
