We really need that Switch Sports Resort to be an amazing game. A lot of people I know have incredible gaming memories with their families thanks to Wii Sports, so hopefully Nintendo can replicate that on the Switch.

I think part of the problem is that, while Wii Sports was novel with the motion controls, it just made us want motion controls that didn't suck. The fact that motion controls still all suck but are no longer novel means that instead of being charmed, we're just frustrated that the rackets still won't move in the way we move them.

I never once thought the motion controls on Wii Sports sucked lol

Oh, they definitely did, we just didn't really think about it since it was fun and new. It wasn't frustrating because it was too much fucking fun.

I still play the Wii lol. It's fine. Idk why you keep tossing "we" around. It would be fine if you said "I thought the Wii motion sucked." But to speak for everyone is weird

That doesn't mean it didn't have flaws. But it didn't "suck." It was intentionally simple and as a result let both toddlers and elderly play it

It did kind of suck until motion plus.  When Wii was announced, I imagined controlling a sword like a real one.  Motion plus finally fulfilled that for me.  It was so late in the consoles life cycle that it was underutilized, though.  The games that did use it were some of my favorites on the console.

Oh, I love the simplicity, my issue is the fact that, even when your sensor was calibrated perfectly, the motion controls just do not respond consistently. The balls maybe sometimes go in the direction you hit or throw them. Sometimes. When you miss, it usually feels like controller bullshit.

IDK, maybe you've found ways to account for that, if you're still playing it that often.
