Developers just produced new games instead of re-releasing GCN games with motion controls. I mean I have looked at Wii games in a long time, but I found out that they re-released the GCN remakes of Resident evil Zero and Resident Evil. I have never had the chance to play the remakes so I plan on buying these. But, I guess thats who they are trying to sell these games too.
Resident Evil Zero wasn't a remake, it was an original GCN game. Kind of silly for them to remake it for the Wii though, it wasn't exactly that big of a hit. And how would motion control even really work that well for that? Or REmake, for that matter?
It's like they're just picking random moderately well-known games now.

On both covers it says something like "Resident Evil Archive" Oh I will not be purchasing these games... Found out they didn't even add new motion/pointing controls....
Or if nintendo made actual games instead of focusing on shit for fat people and trying to make everything so kawaii uguu~~
NINTENDO: WE HAVENT RELEASED A GOOD GAME SINCE BRAWL IN EARLY 2008!

They are, however, allowing it onto the system and are also making shit like Wii fit after stripping DVD playback because 'da wii is a gaem system'
Also I am seriously considering selling my wii.
I havent played it in over a year. The only way I'm going to keep it is if the new Metroid is good.

uh who would've honestly cared if the wii played dvds
Nintendo's purely concerned with profits now, but once sales start dropping (and they already are), expect them to beg some third parties for good games and expect more real games like Metroid.
or at least i hope they do that

you can get some cheap turbo cd shmups on the wii
and uh i'm sure you're missing out on some great games like deadly creatures
It's just the motion control that turns me off. I LIKE BEING FAT
But really, having motion controls just makes me not want to play a game. Yeah it's cool for the first ten minutes but after that it is just a nuisance. Maybe I'm just not part of the audience Nintendo is trying to please...

I don't think motion controls are the problem. Things like tilting and such (see: PS3) would seem to work fine.
Elebits seems to use them nicely where the only "motion" is a slight pointing of the remote. But then there are games that are like

which are almost always horribly shitty and will tire you out after about 30 minutes.
There are a few exceptions, like Lawlz mentioned yesterday(WarioWare) where doing such can be fun, but to make the entire game just flapping around like you're a retard having a tantrum is a horrible idea.
The limit of motion control shouldn't exceed wrist movements.
Wii needs better online
better games
better fans

YES YES YES. I'M SURE YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON THIS WONDERFUL GAME, GENO.
I actually came to post about how Deadly Creatures solely makes the Wii a good purchase for me (although Metroid, Fire Emblem, and Sin & Punishment certainly help). So I guess you have it then? That's great, because it needs some love from someone besides me.
If the Wii was capable of doing big games like the 360 or PS3, it would be pretty good. But it's limited on what it can do, don't forget about the horrible online and the games that are just rushed with shitty motion slapped on it as a gimmick. Just wait for them to make a new Wii with a HDD and not have all their games focus on motion.

But Nintendo doesn't want an HDD because they said 5 year olds might break it.

Yes, it's one of my favorite games this gen and my favorite on the Wii.
Everything about it, aside from a couple times where I fell through the ground, is perfect.
it's sad that the game sold so few copies worldwide and will never get a sequel :'(

Having a pointer is a really nice thing, but the accelerometer itself seems like a mostly silly idea in any game. I haven't played PS3 before, but as for Wii I haven't seen tilting used decently. The only two decent uses I've seen of motion are to rotate the pointer icon and to slightly make up for the Wiimote having so few buttons on it by making a quick waggle replace an extra button (spin attack in Mario Galaxy, sword slash in Zelda, etc).
Then you have the MotionPlus which perfects and encourages the motion controls that already were useless and the even-more-useless Balance Board.
A few other details that screw it up in my opinion:
No universal online ID; instead, Wii number only acts for the menu itself and each individual game has a separate friend code.
General inability to have its menu updated. There are various technical reasons that Wii System Updates can't do much (too much data is hard-coded, no part of the menu runs during gameplay, update data stockpiles on the tiny hard drive instead of truly patching), and so the most massive leap they've ever brought is SDHC card support.

Yeah, it's my favorite Wii game as well. I agree about it being perfect. The atmosphere draws you in. It
feels like a desert. And the minimalistic GUI and ambient music fit so well. And I love how the story is presented by overhearing it as you brutalize other bugs.
And yeah, it's too bad it sold poorly. Something like 130,000 worldwide.

I honestly didn't care too much about the story.
It's the flawless exploration and combat that made me cream my pants. I wish it had a few more boss battles, though.
It wasn't the story itself, but how the it unfolded by you overhearing them talking about it. I thought that was the cool part.
More bosses couldn't hurt, but I'm having trouble thinking of some other critter that hasn't been used. Maybe a vulture or something.
