Am I the only one who's realized that using Wiimote + Chuck does not always equal waggle?

All too often Popo. All too often.

Resident Evil 1. Those controls were annoying.

Yeah, I know a lot of folks who would take more interest in the survival horror genre's earlier games if they hadn't all used the tank controls.

While I believe someone previously said Turok 2, I would venture that the PC version suffers even more. And though I can remap the keys to a certain extent, the game just never feels comfortable.

Castlevania on the Gameboy. The jump was always so stiff.
Challenging game though.

I agree, but there are few games that don't involve some kind of waggling. Marvel Ultimate Alliance had you shack the Wiimote one way for light attack and the other for heavy. Even a 2d platformer like WarioLand Shake It had waggle (shake) controls.
