Donkey Kong Country Returns

Yeah...not going to do that.

It just blows my mind that they don't offer a non motion alternative in a (difficult) game where timing is important. Felt the same way about Galaxy, the motion controls just get in the way - they don't increase immersion, fun, or anything. I always feel like I'm playing a game that would be a little bit better if they removed the motion controls.

So basically what I've gathered from reading this thread is that people are upset it wasn't released for the Gamecube, instead of the Wii.

I must have missed the memo where if you're a Wii game you absolutely have to have motion controls with no alternatives.

It's as annoying to me as if they released an FPS that didn't let you invert the camera.

I believe the memo was.. when the Wii was announced. It's the whole basis of the console.

Listen, I'm not arguing over the motion controls in this game, I don't like em either, but I think its dumb to ask a company when moving forward to keep their feet in the past all the time. Its like when people ask for KB M on the PS3, sure developers can do it, but that's not the standard.

Its been 4 years now, if you don't know what you are getting with a Wii game you probably aren't fast on the draw. Like I said and could be wrong, the only Nintendo games to offer Classic Control/Cube support this gen have been Brawl and Kart. They've kind of moved on from offering that support.

I'm with Babsy on this one. The Wii was built for motion controls. It was the entire point of the system. To release it, then take a step back by having everyone just use an old controller would be dumb.

"Hey guys, we released this really revolutionary system that uses motion controls, but let's just let everyone use a normal controller and bypass the entire concept of our system!"
