Was the Wii Remote and Nunchuk a good controller setup?
>>722548682kinda look like a dildo with a clit sucker
>>722548682Only for Wii sports and nothing else
>Twilight Princess showed all you needed was a re-center button for the camera >There were still games you'd have to literally move the pointer to the edges of the screen to move the camera.Only game that did this right was Metroid Prime.
>>722548790Thanks Chad.
it was nice lounging and being able to hold two halves of the controller in different positions. probably what I miss the most about it
>>722549158This is literally why I own a Legion Go instead of a Steam Deck or other options.
>>722549158cant you do that with joycons too
Only for Metroid Prime, very cool. For everything else it was gay and stupid.
>>722548682For N64 games it was, yeah. Which makes the requirement of the classic controller to play those games baffling.
>>722548790Porn brainrot
>>722548682It was fun, but I often fear someone saw my silhouette cast on the curtains as I caught the legendary Hylian Loach in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess late one night.I think it's biggest problem for was just being awkward.
this was cool for simple platformers and nes games
>>722548682I can't say that it was a bad decision given how briliantly the wiimote design worked for wiisports and thus the main system seller, but not having a second analog stick for camera utility was a frequent pain in the ass for more traditional games.
>>722548682idk I kinda feel like they were a bit limiting and contributed to why Wii games were built in and felt a certain way. VR controllers and the Joycons are the nearly(No I.R. aim) perfected form of what it was going for.
>>722548682Only for motion controls, it absolutely sucked ass with everything else. Still trying to find out why SPM forced me to use a Wii remote and didn't let me use a GameCube controller.
>>722549585There are pics of women using the wiimote as a dildo tho
>>722549941This is how I played Brawl, surprisingly comfy controller
>>722548682Fine for the most part, but I'm left handed and controlling movement on the right side felt weird.
>>722548790'sup bitches! It's Chaaaaaaaaad Waaaaaarden!
>>722549462Did some poor soul actually play SM64 and OOT with this setup?>>722551123SPM being Super Paper Mario? Because of Tippi. That game wasn't about to compromise anywhere else, so why should it in the controls department?
>>722548682It pioneered VR controllers a decade before they released. Literal gamechanger
>>722549351Not him, but while I do still enjoy that, it's definitely not as ergonomic as the nunchuck was
>>722549158>>722549351I tried to make the same setup work with the joycons but they're just not comfortable to use. That's how important controller ergonomics actually are, and we take that shit for granted way too often.>>722551643>Did some poor soul actually play SM64 and OOT with this setup?N64 games don't support Wiimote and Nunchuck to begin with, so I assume he was using a hacked wii with custom control mapping.
>>722551918Figured. I actually remember buying SM64 on VC back in the day, and being really mad that I couldn't even fucking play it. What do you mean I need a classic controller? I figured out that I could buy a cheap secondhand GC controller, though. Much better option, as the OG classic controller was an abomination.
>>722549158Seconding this.However, the wire between the two halves whipping around whenever you waggle them was annoying.
>>722548682No, but it was a soulful setup for a soulful system.The Switch could never compare.
>>722548682It had options and was cozy for the most part. The actual issues with the Wiimote + nunchuck + classic setup were>waggle and aiming were lazily implemented in most cases>Just like GC controller before but ten times worse, the Wii controllers just felt ackward and weird for tons of people>You needed three parts to own an actual set of the controllers. Not owning a nunchuck and/or a classic controller basically blocked from playing a ton of games on the console, including VC and Wii Ware titles>Wii Motion Plus bullshitLoved my Wii and playing games on it but the gimmicks never paid off.
>>722548682The best Wii games either just used the Wiimote, used two Wiimotes, or would've worked better with a standard controller. I mean, the Nunchuck was probably the best option of something to hold in the second hand for a thumbstick, but it just wasn't the best option. Go full motion controls or go with a standard controller.
>>722548682I emulate it when necessary by holding half a gamepad in one hand and using a mouse in the other Way better way to play sin and punishment desu
>>722548682borderline unplayable in 2025, especially after playing VR
>>722548682>wagglan gimmicks
>>722549356I could never play Metroid Prime on Wii since I'm left handed
>>722549941insane how, despite being the least ergonomic control scheme for the wii, Nintendo still managed to do miles worse with singular joycons
