now with optional button-and-stick-only controls instead of motion controls
I will now play your game.
I don't understand what is so hard about just letting people play fucking video games Nintendo. Instead you keep trying to shove your fancy bullshit down our throats and lock good IPs behind it (looking at you Star Fox Zero).
games for the original Wii were a special case since the only controllers for it anyone was guaranteed to have were a Wiimote + Nunchuk
I know, that's why I hate the Wii in general. I had an entire generation of games in my favorite IPs locked away from me because I don't have steady enough hands for motion control nor do I enjoy having to be active when I spent the entire fucking day being active at work because I'm not an office drone.
Nintendo keeps trying to force these retarded ideas on consumers, and then hold our favorite IPs hostage behind them. And if we don't buy them because we hate the gimmick, they blame the IP instead and ruin it (see Fire Emblem on Wii nearly ending the franchise).
Regarding the Wii U itself
The WiiU itself was a fine concept, they just never took advantage of the ideas that well minus games like WW and TP like you said. The motion control problem was a holdover from the Wii instead of a WiiU problem.
Fire Emblem was in shambles at the time for reasons much broader than Wii controller limitations anyway. Continued missteps with Shadow Dragon and New Mystery did more to kill it than the Wii.
Or did you mean that lots of previous FE fans and other core gamers skipped the Wii entirely because most of its games had gimmicks and they didn't want to get it just for RD?
That was my point. Its exactly where I was. I wasn't going to buy a console I hated the very idea of on the off chance that rogue developers ignored the entire purpose of the console.
But to build off that point, both RD and the previous game PoR were put on consoles they had no reason to be on, tanked because many of the draws of the franchise (beautiful spritework replaced by generic 3d models, portability factor lost, things like Biorhythm and Titania breaking the difficulty more than usual for PoR) were lost, and then the blame was put on the IPs, nearly ending them, rather than the extremely poor decision to put them on the console.
