Mario Kart Wii uses the Wiimote.
And in SMG the pointer function alone makes the Wiimote worth while.

The last two are optional, and I think SMG used the wiimote alot. Motion sensing isnt the only thing on the wii, the pointer is the real innovation .

my bad the ones that i played didnt use it at all.

plus, r+c uses motion sensing a lot and i would say that if you took all those out ud still have the same great game.

I just think we need more of the bigger games revolving around the motion sensing. Metroid Prime 3 used is freaking SWEET, but alot of the big games just kind of "here, it's optional". Like when I'm playing Brawl, I feel like I'm playing a Gamecube game, because I'm using that controller. And it's like, with Mario Kart you gotta buy the wheel attachment if you wanna play motion sensing. Why all these attachments like the Wii Board and the Wii Zapper and the Wii Wheel!? We shouldn't have to pay extra to use the game as it's meant to be played.

Uhh, the best Wii games don't overuse the motion sensing capabilities, it's good that not every game cram the Wii's motion sensing technology into every aspect to a game to the point where it's just not fun anymore, and others like Smash Bros. don't use them at all only because it's better without them.

Mario Kart Wii isn't even out yet. How can it be the best Wii game? :lol:

Galaxy uses the Wii Remote for the star pointer, Ball-Rolling, and ray surfing.

How about you add Metroid Prime 3, Zack and Wiki, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and No More Heroes, and come back later.

I own SMG. Motion sensing is huge in it, although I am not very far (green w/e galaxy, engine room) there is manta surfing, blowing bubbles, collecting stars, the ball rolling one, and twirling.

Also don't forget about space.
SSBB content has basically pushed the Wii disk to the limit, and it has a lot more space than a Gamecube disk...
So people who think SSBB as a GCN game, that would be really dumbed down graphics, fewer game modes, characters, trophies, etc. and no online.

Just because Brawl lets you have the choice to use a Gamecube controller doesn't mean it's a Gamecube game... :| No, that's courtesy from the game developers knowing that the gamers already know and love using Gamecube controllers best for the series... And it's already been proven that the people like them best too... How many people actually use the Wii remote on the side, or with nunchuk, or c.lassic controller over the Gamecube controller?... Thank you Sakurai.

Super Mario Galaxy - pull stars, collecting star bits, spin attack, manta ray surfing, rolling on the ball, and menu navigation. I may have missed something.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl - smash attacks, menu navigation.


Mario Kart Wii - TURNING!!!1!1! Duh??!!? And who knows what else.

However, I am including the pointer function as motion sensing.

Yes. That's a good thing. It's called not overusing it. Overuse it and you end up like one of those minigame collection that everybody rants about so much on here.

However, Zack and Wiki using the motion sensing quite a bit (and to great effect), No More Heroes has its fair share of motion sensing, and Metroid Prime Corruption and MOH:H2 use the pointer and some motion sensing to make spectacular controls.

I think you should change your topic title to

The best Wii games don't abuse motion sensing.

Besides the accelerometers, and tilt functions aren't the best part of the Wiimote. That honour belongs to the IR. Motion sensing and tilt have all been done before but IR is the one truly revolutionary thing about the wiimote.

I'm just salivating the day some Indie developer comes out of nowhere and makes a FPS that have Brawl-like graphics, a great story (dark is a plus), awsome gameplay, and pushes the Wii-mote's potential to the point where it's going to be considered superior to the good ol' K&M
