Using tired old threads that come up at least once every two days don't make you right. The fact you're using Super Paper Mario as your example is proof that the thread has no merit.Hippostrike

Excuse me? Am I saying anything about being right?

And I used more than SPM as an example.

I honestly don't think that motion control makes any difference except make much more unique games possible and fun.

The standard controller has nothing wrong with it. All that is in involved is personal taste.

But, all that aside, I do think that Nintendo got so much market share simply from hype. I have several friends who have a Wii and just don't play it anymore. The originality of motion-control just wore off on them. And sooner or later, it'll wear off on everyone. Hype and marketing saved them this generation. Had they stuck with a standard controller, Nintendo would be dead last in this race. The Wiimote, as much as I dislike it, was a brilliant marketing ploy.

I agree about it being a marketing ploy as well.

Nor does top notch graphics.briguyb13

Of course not. But power doesn't always equal graphics.

I have played the Wii on numerous occasions and I have come to the conclusion that a game like SPM would be just as fun to play with standard controls. Although the potential for some great FPS's are there (MP3) I also remember beating Halo and MP whilehaving a great time doing it with thestandard controller. I just played Forza 2 and not once did I say to myself "You know, this game would be much more fun if I could use the Wiimote!". Nope. Not once.

Bottom line: I just don't see the Wiimote as "innovative". It's just a different way to play games. IMO, I think Nintendo focused too much on new controls rather than the things that make the 360 so good...online, power and great third party. Yes, I understand that power isn't everything but it does allow for some pretty expansive games. If you are the type that thinks power is not needed, don't complain when you can't play Oblivion on the Wii.

I'm not saying the Wii is a bad system. I am saying the Wiimote does not make it great.

Now I'll put my flame shield on.

Online, power and third party. Also, I know this isn't just a Nintendo thing, but how about some new franchises?

You played Super Paper Mario and think it would still be fine with traditional controls? Did you actually play Super Paper Mario? Last time I played it, the only Wiimote controls was the pointer for that door light thing.foxhound_fox

That's why I said what I said. Where's the innovation in that?
