Exactly - I'm not going to buy their game because of this. If I get it as a Christmas gift, fine I'll play it, but I'm not going to go out and buy it. I can't play a timing based game when I can't properly time my actions because of the buffer and unpredictability of motion controls.

It isn't that I'm refusing to move forward with them - I think that motion controls have their place. I like using the wheel on Mario Kart if I'm in the mood for something different or if I'm playing with friends. I'm also going to buy Mario Party soon, and that seems like a game where motion controls would be really fun. Wii Sports would be very un-fun without motion controls.

New Super Mario Bros Wii - the motion controls were used for -one- action. That was fine, it didn't bother me. I probably would have preferred a button combination, but I could deal with that.

Also, classic controller support would be totally okay with me. I own a classic controller, it feels good. The point is I want an alternative to the motion controls - I was saying GCN controller because that's what Moogle initially mentioned.

I would probably end up playing with the motion controls occasionally, just for variety, but it's not my ideal way to play a game like that.

Also it was more than two games, I can think of at least one other: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. So there are probably others as well.

I think the problem here is that some people feel like they have an obligation to help make a game better by trying to enjoy these controls ("moving forward with them"). You don't. You're paying Nintendo for this product, it's their job to make it as enjoyable as possible.
