I could imagine. I alway hated it when a game is unnecessarily difficult because of shit controls.

3-4-53391d ago

Main thing I didn't like about almost all Wii games was the motion controls.

I had played Twilight Princess for Wii on my Wii U just to try it out last year, but didn't finish it as I was sick of the motion controls.

* Playing Wind Waker HD is much more satisfying.

That is why I can't wait for Legend of Zelda for Wii U, with normal controls.

STIKUP ARTIST3391d ago

I didn't even get past an hour due to motion controls on the wii. This HD version is so much better thanks to the game pad control.

Bahamut3391d ago

I didn't care for Twilight Princess on the Wii because of the controls, but Skyward Sword is a prime example of motion controls done right. That game was phenomenal, best Zelda since Ocarina of Time in my opinion. Absolutely loved it.

I played Twilight Princess on the gamecube back in the day, and I'm really enjoying the HD makeover and hero mode. It's a bit confusing playing the whole game mirrored like that lol, but it's still fun. Everything is familiar, but not familiar at all... it's kinda cool, like it's all new almost.

RosweeSon3390d ago

Yeah same here luckily that can't be said for Nintendo.

rjason123391d ago

Wii remote worked great for this game, you could even turn off most of the motion controls if you wanted to.

xPhearR3dx3391d ago

True, I just hate the Wii Remotes. They're uncomfortable to use for long sessions. I only made it through about 3 dungeons before I gave up. Honestly, I'm glad I did. I'm enjoying it so much more using the pro controller.

Savsky3391d ago

Yeah but even with the motion controls off, the Wiimote is more inconvenient than a GameCube Controller, Gamepad, Classic Controller, or Pro Controller.

rjason123391d ago

I loved it, immersed me more into the game, as I felt like I was actually using links sword, bow, etc, loved SS motion controls even more.

Bahamut3391d ago

Skyward Sword was fantastic

RosweeSon3390d ago

Same with Mario Galaxy Nintendo always get the best out of their control set ups, awesome. People just don't like change, Metroid prime 3 with Wii remote controls said to be some of the best FPS controls around.

RosweeSon3390d ago

I wasn't a big Wii fan barely used mine but always made time for these Nintendo classics. Preferred Mario kart without the motion controls and smash bros everything else Wii U Remote it's how they intended it to be played.

RosweeSon3390d ago

There nothing Gimicky about quality and originality, if we're talking the endless party games and guff that Wii had sure gimicky, Nintendos output? Far from Gimicky.

Where Are The Wind Waker And Twilight Princess Switch Remasters At?

Nintendo is a weird company. It has the most illustrious legacy of any single company in the medium and seldom chooses to take advantage of that fact. Countless classics are confined to their original platforms or only available through outdated retail models or a cheeky bit of emulation.

I want a Twilight Princess HD for the Switch I would day one it right now.

GoodGuy091004d ago

This holiday would've been great and it would've calmed my hunger for tears of the kingdom. It supposedly exists but why has it taken this long I wonder. Here's hoping it still releases before totk, maybe a trailer at the game awards and a shadow drop.

Double_O_Revan1004d ago

I wouldn't hope too hard. The Metroid Prime Trilogy or even just Prime 1 remaster supposedly exists and has been complete for several years now. Either Nintendo are evil bastards, or everyone claiming it's existence is full of shit. Frankly, I believe both scenarios to be true.

Immagaiden1003d ago

Wii U was such a great to play every 3D Zelda game and various 2D ones as well

It'd be nice if Switch caught up to that wealth of legacy content

Inverno1003d ago

Booted up WW HD through emulation on Deck. Forgot how much I like that game, it's so charming with how expressive Link is. Ninty has taken too long.

ZeekQuattro1003d ago

Nintendo wants the focus on tears of the kingdom. Though with these year Zelda old rumors I question if the collection ever existed for the Switch. Much like the Prime Trilogy that evolved into a remake or remaster of just Prime 1 in recent months.
