Any weird/controversial opinions? I'll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi's tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn't have.

I'll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.

I've been playing totk and at one point I had to turn off motion control to get more precision (ironic, I know, but gyro induces too much sway for when you need a near pixel perfect positioning) for building a hover bike. I had no idea how much I subconsciously used gyro aiming. For instance I wanted to pick up one of the fans. So I tun the stick to move the camera to target the fan like I always do, but this time I end up just short of actually targeting the fan. Turns out I instinctively also turn the controller to have the gyro assist the aiming, but because gyro was off that last step of targeting was now missing and I kept missing my targeting. It felt super weird to pick them up without the gyro.

I absolutely recommend any skeptic to turn it on, play with it regularly for let's say 20 hours and turn it off. You will feel the difference. It becomes so natural that you won't even notice yourself using it.
