Glad you were able to work the two exclamation points into your post.

A lot of enemies are direction specific, requiring you to attack in particular directions. A lot of people have complained about the controls for Skyward Sword, but I had none of those problems and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I agree with my experience so far the motion controls work like they supossed to do. I can imagine this game with blade mode like metal gear rising where you activate a button a allows you to use the second thumstick to aim your attacks.

Im ok with motion controls but i prefer having the choice to use a regular controller.

I am crazy, but motion controls do not suck on Mario Kart 8. Period. People can prefer a thumbstick if they like, but to say the motion controls stink is asinine.

Turning on a thumbstick gives you two options, not turning, or turning as far as you can. Turning with a wii remote gives an expressly diverse amount of control and responsiveness to handling, especially with drifts that, in my opinion destroys the competition.

The turning with the wii mote wasn't working with me, either it was too much or it was too little. After going off road for half of a race i changed to my gamecube controller and had a blast with the game.

I won't argue the choice thing. I think people should be given the choice, unless the game really does something special with the motion controls, then people can just get over it! Haven't really seen a game that does use the motion controls in a crazy special way just yet though, so we will see.

I always approached the motion controls like a person going from a game controller to mouse and keyboard or vice versa. It is a new way to play something and takes some getting used to. Every game developer builds a game with a specific mindset in how to play it. It is our job as a player to figure that out. How easy or hard it is to figure out determines on whether they successfully pull it off.

The only motion control that failed me in Skyward Sword was the fights against the boss man himself, early on, in that first encounter where you need to move the sword tip or something in a little circle I think it was. I never could do it right ever and got mauled. The game said do this, and I'd do it and it would miserably fail every time so I eventually got pissed off and shield bashed the shit out of him so fast he'd stagger just a moment enough I could just cut him up...wash, rinse, repeat with me taking a lot of damage in the process and refilling on a bottle or two. Motion controls often fail, but when they don't, they can add to the experience. Skyward Sword though could have worked fine if it had been a non-motion game, they'd just have to tweak the combat to not have specific strikes and pokes the 1:1 motion control requires. If the game never asked for it in the first place, people wouldn't argue the game wouldn't work as it wouldn't be there and the stages/stories would play out fine.

I've never liked Punch-Out!!

The character designs are atrocious and the controls just feel off.

Come at me.

What about Super Punch Out?

Figured this belonged here.

I dont understand the Xbox One brand reason, sure Microsoft releases good products, but i never looked at Microsoft and thought "Reliable Brand".

I wouldn't necessarily say that it is referring themselves as a reliable brand, but it has a name in North American Markets. Microsoft is really pushing it as an all-in-one box for households. It is a brand that is very recognizable here in the States and a lot of people dug the Xbox360 and continued on to the One because of it.
