I don't know what the history was with the release of that versus the GameCube version.
KirkHOST
3:49
I remember the Wii, the main selling point on the Wii was that you could use the Wiimote to aim and kind of point directly at the TV, which made it so much easier.
KirkHOST
4:00
And I think maybe that's why I enjoyed it because the actual...
KirkHOST
4:05
The process of shooting things when you're allowed to do so was so much easier.
TimHOST
39:07
But I am interested in this because these are kind of fun...
TimHOST
39:12
Give anyone the little Wiimote or in this case, the Joy-Con and let them give it a try type of experience.
TimHOST
39:17
It's a good like,
DanHOST
39:18
yeah, you know, if your mom or dad doesn't really play your grandma, you know, I mean, they literally filled retirement homes with millions of Wiis because they all just played fake sports like.
ErichHOST
52:39
They're gonna get sued.
ErichHOST
52:41
No, not even Joy-Cons, you have to get the Wiimotes.
ErichHOST
52:43
You have to buy...
ErichHOST
52:43
You have to be two Wiimote pros.
ErichHOST
52:45
You have to use Wiimotes.
ErichHOST
52:46
The
KevinHOST

pro controller.
KevinHOST
31:43
What happened was they did that in the original.
KevinHOST
31:47
Then they made the new control scheme version of Metroid Prime where they wanted to make it so you could use the Wiimote and stuff.
KevinHOST
31:57
And that's what the trilogy uses, the Metroid Prime trilogy.
KevinHOST
32:01
And they took out a lot of the effects because it interfered with the motion control stuff.
DavidHOST
8:09
I'm playing on a controller and like the flick stick combat is something I was not, I didn't know that's how they made, how they did it.
DavidHOST
8:16
I like completely forgot that the game was that the big selling point of the game on the Wii was like, Oh, we're going to do like very, like almost one-to-one movement with the Wiimote and the sword.
DavidHOST
8:25
And it's going to be like what everybody always wanted.
DavidHOST
8:27
What was it? Twilight princess to be when it first came out.

11 MINS LATER

ChaseHOST
19:36
And- I agree that the dream of the Wii is one-to-one sword combat, like one-to-one motion sword combat.
ChaseHOST
19:45
And I feel like that's how it was marketed in the early days.
ChaseHOST
19:48
If I remember correctly, Shigeru Miyamoto came out on stage and held the Wiimote like a sword.
ChaseHOST
19:53
right and you're like i get it you know like i see what is cool about the wii and like even with the wii motion plus it was not that you know it was closer but i actually don't know if that made for like really fun gameplay because a lot of the time there was like either there was a delta between like what i was doing and what i thought should happen yeah or the game was like punishingly difficult As far as like how close I needed to get to doing something.
DonnieHOST
25:17
What does that begin to resemble, Delvin? A TV remote.
DonnieHOST
25:20
How does that look? Very, very Wiimote-esque.
DonnieHOST
25:24
I like it.
DonnieHOST
25:25
Got a little trigger action here in the back.
Brendon BigleyHOST
4:43
And I think when Nintendo Switch Sports came out, a lot of people were like, this does feel a little bit like a step backwards.
Brendon BigleyHOST
4:48
Even though it's amazing the Joy-Cons work basically as well as the Wiimotes do, I think there was this feeling of like, well, this is the only Nintendo Switch sports game we'll probably ever get.
Brendon BigleyHOST
4:58
And it's like good enough and that's fine.
Brendon BigleyHOST
5:00
And then lo and behold, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort comes out, is the Wii Sports Resort that everybody wanted for the Nintendo Switch.
Tim GettysHOST
42:08
I've always preferred Galaxy 2, mainly because I feel it kind of cut the...
Tim GettysHOST
42:12
Minimal fats that a galaxy one had galaxy one leaned a little too not almost a too much It leaned more into motion controls and using the Wiimote this one was like alright Let's refine it and just have a lot more creativity and fun with the gravity mechanics and really kind of taking Mario Which we all understand that's just core video game.
Tim GettysHOST
42:31
That is what a video game is should be can be and it you know how mario controls when you hold a control you know exactly the weight of a jump and you know the speed of a run and you can tell am i going to be able to make this jump or not like that's just how well designed the feel of this game is or these games are and to have mario go from 2d to 3d and have the different various forms uh take shape there To see Mario go from Mario 1 to 3 to then World and just keep expanding and get bigger and bigger, there really was the question of where can we go? What can we do after getting to the third dimension? And the answer being space.
Tim GettysHOST
43:09
It's like, cool, that's a place.
Tim GettysHOST
53:53
It, of course, was a Wii exclusive, a Wii launch title, and yes, a very dangerous game.
Tim GettysHOST
53:58
Wiimotes were being thrown through TVs across the lands.
Tim GettysHOST
54:02
Oh, man, I love that it's here.
Tim GettysHOST
54:03
This is exciting.
PooyaHOST
11:49
that I don't think so, because think about it.
PooyaHOST
11:52
A lot of the Wii games are with the Wiimote, and I don't know if there's a sensor bar replacement on the computer.
PooyaHOST
11:57
I'm sure there might be, but I haven't thought that far.
PooyaHOST
12:01
so yeah i think that despite getting this setup put together i still do not feel regular on the setup so that's one of the main reasons i'm excited to be back um i think the second thing also is that i'm tired of living out of like a suitcase um yeah limited wardrobe i don't like that um and i don't know there's like i think there's also a feeling of expectation being here currently um where I'm like well I should be spending time with my mom right I should be spending time with my mom but then I'm like I'm tired I just want to like lay down I don't want to do that then I'm like I should because I can just lay down when I'm done with the trip but then so there's a lot of mental for me as well that goes into it so yeah
