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.

Yes, I use my CCPro playing the likes of Mario Kart Wii, Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors (though I prefer the GameCube controller for that game), and Tatsunoko vs Capcom. It's also far more confortable to use with how they spread the analog sticks farther from each other.

There is PGA Tour that is pretty awesome with motion+, its absolutely incredible how sensitive the controller is. We' ve had a lot of fun with it. Plus you will need motion+ controller once Wii U comes out. Also the new Zelda is absolutely awesome and Red Steel 2 is great too. I bought motion+ for both of my Wii motes and it was well worth for me.

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

No idea, I never felt the need to buy classic controller...

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

There was Xenoblade Chronicles and Zelda SS, but other than that, Wii is pretty dead and everything is focused towards Wii U now.

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?

lol, Skyward Sword is outstanding, mostly because of its mechanics that are based on WM+

Well if you say so.
