Gotta say, it makes me sad how much Nintendo utterly ruined the concept of Motion Control with the Wiimote. That thing is a poorly designed mess and flat-out NOT capable of actual motion control.
Motion Control is a good idea, one that could birth new genres, reinvent existing ones, and offer greater depth and complexity while simultaneously being quite intuitive. However, if anyone ever did it RIGHT, it would be much like the leap to 3D polygonal graphics. We need to remember that motion control has it's strengths as well as it's weaknesses and we can't forget that fact. Normal controllers should NEVER be phased out, but Motion Controls SHOULD be embraced.
But unfortunately, Nintendo fucked that all up with the Wiimote and now EVERYONE thinks THAT piece of shit is a Motion Controller. It's not. It's a Waggle controller. There's a difference. In Motion Control, HOW you move the controller alters in on-screen action. In Waggle control, the actions are pre-programmed and merely assigned to a motion. It's almost the OPPOSITE of motion control and...I'm sorry, I just don't have the energy right now to finish this. I've been screaming about how the Wii is the worst console Nintendo has ever made and has ruined Motion Control forever. Just know that I am sad. (Do note that the MotionPlus is another story and despite the Wii's gratuitous amounts of fail, it still manages to have afew good games on it)
That said, you can't entirely blame Motion Control for the fact that you fail! XD
