SSBB will not use the Wiimote?!

Then what's the point of the damn thing?  Honestly, all you hear about is how the Wiimote gives you greater control over your game and is more immersive, and then I found out that one of the Wii's flagship titles will not support it?  The other day I was thinking about how hard and awkward it would be trying to short hop, wavedash, and cancel with a wiimote, so I read up on the game, and I was suprised to learn that I'll need to dig out my GC controller to even play the game. 

So I ask you, Nintendo fans/supporters, how does this choice not condemn the wiimote?  SSBB using an old controller just tells me that the wiimote is not suited to games that require pinpoint timing and accuracy, which is extremely dissapointing, because here I thought I was told the wiimote would be the best thing since sliced bread.  SSBB using a "last-gen" controller just seems to me like all the wiimote is good for is slow paced leisure games and mini-game collections.

It also uses the classic pad.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. SSBB is a love letter to Smash Brothers fans. They have said as much themselves. However, SSBB none use of the remote does not mean that other games can't use it.

The Wiimote is only for BS games. Anything that requires actual skill needs an actual controller.JayPee89

People who say the Wiimote can't work for SSB are afraid of change and can't realize SSB doesn't need to play like Melee, and SSBB is pretty much SSBM 1.5

I repeat:

Thanks God some people here won't develop games, let's list some people beliefs about the Wiimote and the SSB franchise:

1. If something insane is happening on screen, it means you're swinging your Wiimote as a retarded monkey and hitting your whole family and neighbours.

2. When Nintendo created the Wiimote, they deliberately decided that they should make a controller that isn't suited for fighters, after all, that's perfectly logical. Therefore, DBZ and MK:A are errors of nature.

3. SSBM was a so perfect of a launch GC game that 6 years later, slighty better graphics put to shame by standard competition graphics and a friend code based online put to shame by Live and PC Online (and probably by PSN too) will make it. After all we can't deny SSBB is graphics whores' paradise...

4. SSBM was made around the GC controller, which inevitably means the Wii sequel should be made around the same controller.

5. Because if it was made for the Wii controller, that could only be done by porting the all mighty Melee to Wii and tacking on random Wiimote swings. The simply thought of a SSB built from the ground for the Wii is absurd.

6. Sakurai is God. If he says he can't do it, no one can do it, not even God. Oh, wait, Sakurai is God. Ed Boon doesn't exist and MK:A is a mirage.

7. There are so many things in Brawl that the Wiimote isn't needed. Yes, many things that a PS3/360 can do better and is doing better.

8. "I can't imagine SSB with the Wiimote". Of course, you're the one who eats up what Nintendo gives you, not the guy in charge of creating Brawl, who's being quite lazy lately...

Get real. If you want to buy and play Brawl, I won't stop you. I can't and I don't want to, but that won't change the fact that you'll be playing Melee 1.5.

OK, you go play Time Crisis and Trauma Centre with a controller, and we'll see who's better.

You're kinda late, aren't you? They said it'd use the GC controller a long time ago, but they could change their minds. I think they said they might use the wiimote for special attacks, but that could have just been a rumor.

Anyway, Trauma Center and Elebits disagree with you. :D

[QUOTE="JayPee89"]The Wiimote is only for BS games. Anything that requires actual skill needs an actual controller.Tylendal

because it takes more skill to steal a car in GTA than it does to wavedash in SSBM, of course!

People play SSBB for long periods of time.

Imagine having to wiggle your joystick for hours.....

Not to mention the graphics are going to suck...

Its sad, it should be used. The left analog moves the character with Z button for jumping and the D-Pad on the Wii mote should be for moves with the motion sensing used for the odd move and a few other things.

They key to success of making it work with the game is to use it but not too much just for a few actions and it should be done like that.

To be honest with you, I felt like those reviews were more like fanboy remarks. I would understand for GTA III getting a 9.6 but the others were just the same as the last with an update of going on motorcycles and an expansive land mass.

THPS3 got a 10.

Proof review scores are meningless.
