What games would really benefit from the Wii controls?

[RickHarrisMaine]

For instance, I think PN03 would be a great Wii game.

 

Yes, I know I'm one of the few people here who like this game a lot, but I think with Wii controls, it would be a lot more fun. The game features the character moving and swinging her arms to blast robots, and it seems a natural to do this with the Wii.

 

Any thoughts? Other games that would benefit, or could theoretically benefit from Wii controls?

With the exception of Metal Slug, everything I have played on Wii has benefitted from the controls.

Now don't misunderstand, as I think there is a lot of room for improvement when it coems to the controls in some games, and by no means are developers using hte remote optimally just yet. However, as a generality, playing with the remote is just a lot more fun than the "old school" way. Look at RE4. The game is exactly the same on Wii as it was before, but the Wii Remote controls make the game so much better, it's night and day.

I'm still looking for a really good implementation of the Wii controls in a FPS. I have yet to try Metroid though. I hear it's pretty good.

I think strategy & rpg games could benefit from having pointer-based controls - drag and drop units, circle groups of units, draw paths to walk, etc.

Bydo you got that right?! imagine something on the scale of CNC games or even a remake of Dune 2 for the Wii! Hell I'd buy it again, I own it for the PC, and Genesis...why not the Wii!

 

But yeah RTS games would do well with the Wii's control scheme. Use the analog thumb on the nunchuck for moving scrolling the map, and use the Wiiremote IR pointer functions for selecting groups, issueing commands..etc.

I want a port of Rez with Wiimote controls. Immediately.

id love a sequel of Burning Rangers while their at it doing sequels to games like Nights....

 

i think it could do a great job with the wii mote.

I'm gonna plug the obvious; A Star Wars lightsaber game. Starfighter would be cool if it got done right.

Mocap Boxing.

 

You could play with the wii balance board too.

Bionic Commando 3D. Perhaps they would need to restrict the number of grappling points (as the original 2D games let you grapple just about any piece of ceiling or platform, which might be pretty difficult to implement in 3D) but I think it would be a cool game to play with the Wiimote.

so many good old nes games no ones bothered to make "primed" like metroid.

Can't argue with that!

Missile Command or Star Raiders might work well.
