Do Wii owners value motion control?

Seriously, are we Wii owners because we like motion control or because we like Nintendo games? I believe that if Nintendo had released a newer higher spec 'cube they would of failed in the face of ms and sony. So it was neccessary to invent to Wii to keep the big N afloat. BUT do you like motion controls now they are here or would of as a nintendo gamer preferred all your new zeldas and marios with HD gfx and a standard controller?

i buy games based on how good they are, not whether or not they have motion control

I bought the Wii for the Nintendo games, and I look at motion control as a fundamentally good idea that isn't capitalised upon enough.

ButI seriously wonder what motivated people to get the Wii if they even complain about IR pointer controls in first person shooters.

I think a lot of games have bad controls because of the motion control. But when a game has bad motion control, I just change it.

I bought my wii becouse of the nintendo games, the motion controls are perfect for some type of games, like fps, but bad for other type of games, like fighting games.

The controls are awesome when done correctly and not added on at the last minute.

But the reason I bought it is because I'm a Nintendo fan. It's that simple.

Same here.

I like the controls, but even if the Wii didn't feature motion controls I would have bought it because I love Nintendo games.

Yeah. Geometry Wars and Trauma Center wouldn't have been nearly as good (or even possible) without motion

I don't have a problem with motion controls

i got it because i like nintendo games. and i like motion controls.BrunoBRS

I thought the Motion controls were cool, and I love Nintendo games. Now I don't dislike motion control but I don't love it either

I've always hated motion controls. I haven't been able to get into Mario Galaxy 2 at all because of them, I don't like them in almost any genre I have tried, and when I play games that are more like lightgun games or railshooters they are horrible in comparison to the guns used on the PS/PS2/Saturn.

I bought the Wii because I want games on the VC and because there are a lot of titles I want that don't require motion controls (such as Fire Emblem, Smash Bros, etc) and rarely there will be titles I like that use motion controls (Trauma series, nothing else comes to mind).

Yeah. Geometry Wars and Trauma Center wouldn't have been nearly as good (or even possible) without motion

I can do without motion controls sometimes, I'm mostly in it for the Nintendo titles. :D

I dont even buy Wii games really, so the motion controls are useless to me, i just download my old favourites...occasionally ill buy a actual Wii game though, and it is because it is good nothing to do with the motion controls...

current motion control is not what I want it to be yet..but its progress....on certain games it works great 3rd person shooter comes to mind. I like Nintendo games & motion control I guess..

I was gonna originally get a 360, but the motion controls convinced me otherwise. I love my Wii, but there are so few games that I really enjoy that come out on it. And of those few games only a few last a long time to continuously entertain me. Although I had hope the controls would be more precise initially to which I think Motion + has fixed, I am more disappointed in the library. I was kind of hoping for some more RPG's and third party support. Now I got both a 360 and a Wii.

I got the Wii for Nintendo games. But I have found that motion controls are actually quite good, and would make me buy a motion controlled system in the future purely for the controls.

Next gen it should be optional. Bc sometimes your just lazy.

I honestly don't understand why people complain about the Wii's controls. Most of the time I play games while relaxing in my recliner. The separation between the remote and nunchuck is much more comfortable than having to hold your hands within a few inches of each other as is necessary with dual axis controllers. I have also found that the remote works best with subtle deliberate motions rather than crazy flailing ones.

Some games, such as bowling, golf, tennis, and obviously Red Steel 2, require more movement and become a different experince--one I really enjoy. My gaming mood determines what type of game I want to play. If I feel like I want to have a more physical experience, I choose a game that allows for that experience. If I want to relax, I choose differently.

I purchased a Wii party because of the exclusives and partly because of motion controls.

For me, it feels better to mimic motions with the remote than to mash buttons on a dual analog. For example, I find it boring to mash buttons to make Kratos kill off hordes of baddies in God of War games, but find it thrilling to take on a small group of enemies in Red Steel 2. I find it silly to map receivers to buttons in Madden games when you can just point to the one you want to throw to. In FPS's I see no advantage to having a fixed reticule in the center of the screen and robotically moving my perspective to shoot at a target when I can just point and shoot.

Finally, I think most people misunderstand the Wii's motion controls. I find people mistakenly swing harder when having trouble with the controls. This often leads to less responsiveness not more because people naturally make a quick movement in the opposite direction of intended motion before the motion they want to make. If you can get people to just make deliberate tilting motions, the controls generally work quite well regarless of the game. Motion Plus games like Red Steel 2 offer a level of precision and immersion that simply cannot be experienced with a dual analog controller.

I got it for the nintendo games, but there are some games where motion controls are better implemented than the standard controls. (Little King's Story and Pikmin people)

I bought them for both, but mostly because of the Motion Controls, at the time it was the most advanced system and was increasing in numbers of households with one, so I got sucked in and was not disappointed ;D

Not entirely.

Red Steel 2 is Amazing and Motion Control gave me a new experience in Racing Games without buying a specific Gaming Wheel and FPSs are awesome with Motion Controls and Wii Sports....AWESOME.

But if you check all my Wii Games most of the Games only Require a Waggle or no Motion Control at all.

I'm a Wii owner because I have always enjoyed playing Nintendo's first party games.

I don't like the motion controls. I wish every Wii game had the option to use a c|assic controller.

it w.e

i'm a wii owner, because of brawl, Jdog30

same here.

i only play games where the motion controls only extend to shake the remote or pointing at the screen(mario, zelda, pikmin) however, i did like mario kart. i just thought i should mention that i am also extremely lazy

Next gen it should be optional. Bc sometimes your just lazy.

It doesn't work that way, you can't make good use of motion/IR in that case. As you can see in Zelda SS, it's not possible to emulate the control setup in a playable way on a standard controler because they would have to change a bunch of puzzles and remake all enemies.

And that is exactly why I am for Touch/IR/Motion. It opens up potential for a new kind of gameplay which is insanely vital, as the PS360 games feel outdated for me in a sense.

I bought the system because I love Nintendo games, everything else is a huge plus.
