What do you guys think about the WII Controller choice?

So I guess in short, Wii-mote as standard= good. Not having classic controller as a viable option= good from a business point of view.

Yup that's why I think Nintendo should have released something different for the classic pro. I mean if people can use their gamecube controllers which are probably a lot cheaper now, then bringing something fresh for the wii could probably attract more people.

Oh and about what Dyne said, I think that the wiimotes could really improve if they manage to make their controller battery-less. "Think PS3 controllers" very light, great battery life, and you can charge it anywhere with a usb plug like a computer. Also if you ever where in the middle of the game and your "wireless wii-mote" went dead, you'd be able to plug it in and play. I agree the cables should be not too long or not too short, perfect distance. Think "USB Wired Gaming Mouse"

Motion controls also work really well, for a very small set of games. But I've come to understand that I'm not Nintendo's target audience.

This is an odd point.
If we accept gamepads as the end all/be all of console gaming, we may never find the next best thing.

I'm not saying it is motion controls, I'm not saying controllers aren't needed, but I don't necessarily feel that there isn't something better out there.

And the only way to be sure, is to find something that works better.
