Virtual Console is definitely one of its major redeeming features.makes it that much more awesome :)

@TheSmackerlacker I understand if you don't prefer motion controls, but to me, it adds more depth & immersion in ther gameplay. Plus, not all Wii games require motion controls. A ton of Wii games are compatible with the classic controller or gamecube controller.

@TheMisterManGuy I have only two Wii games at the moment. Twilight Princess and Red Steel two. Red Steel 2 has pretty responsive controls, but that doesn't change the fact that waving my arms around the room and getting stiff joints does not enhance my enjoyment of a game.

If I want to feel stiff and sore, I'll go to the gym. When I want to sit on my ass and play a game, I won't be using my Wii.

@TheSmackerlacker ......What Wii games have you been playing? Because I doubt it's games like Skyward Sword. Not only do the controls work, but they add more depth to the combat system & makes the game more satisfying to play. If you try to deny that, then that tells me you never played any motion controlled game done right.

[TheSmackerlacker]

@TheMisterManGuy Motion controllers offer unresponsive, physically tiring controls which serve only to put more distance between thought and on-screen action, which is the exact opposite of what a controller should do.

Motion controls bring exactly nothing of value to the world of video games.

As for aiming, the Wiimote is somewhat better, until the thing you want to shoot is off-screen. Then you're fucked.

[TheMisterManGuy]

@TheSmackerlacker Many reviewers said the Wii controls are better than the gamecube controller, especially in aiming. If it's your opinion fine. But there's no denying that Motion controls offer benifits traditional control schemes can't match.

[TheSmackerlacker]

@TheMisterManGuy I have the Wii version of Twilight Princess, and I've played the Gamecube version. There is nothing satisfying about the Wiimote. Ever.

You just wave it around and if it feels like it, it'll register the motion a few seconds before or after you wanted it to.

What's satisfying is consistent, instantaneous responses, like you get with a freaking button.

[TheMisterManGuy]

@TheSmackerlacker No, the Wii version is superior. Not only is it 16:9, but playing Zelda with a Wiimote & Nunchuk feels more satisfying.

@ladieslovethebanana Which is stealing.
