Why did Nintendo make a retarded controller?

that's their thing

It was by far the ultimate controller, in terms of comfort.
Brandon Walker
To pander to their primary audience.
Sebastian Hall
too bad few games had good motion controls, and too bad so few games were good
this controller has very high highs but not every wii game was RE4
Matthew Wilson
I hated shit that made you use the IR sensor but games that had hybrid waggle/standard controls like Mad World and NMH were great
Ian Scott
deeeeel-dooooooooohhh
Mason Rogers
So the trannies can stick up their ass when they done playing vidya.

A TV remote with TWO buttons and an awkwardly paced D-Pad (and two more inconvienent buttons if the game demanded it), and a dingleberry dangling off of the Wiimote's butthole with an analog stick that doesn't click in, two shoulder buttons, and nothing underneath it. And you are forced to waggle it around to do stuff.
Comfort.
Landon Watson
Totally the opposite, I thought the pointer was neat and hated waggle.
Benjamin Brooks
Aiming was great for bow shooting in Zelda games. I'd still rather take gyro over it, but as far as controller aiming goes it's the second best.
Adam Lewis
You know how bad the Wiimote is?
It was supposed to be completely compatible with Splatoon, but since it didn't have enough buttons, it was relegated to the Dojo mode only. It was only finally realized out with Splatoon 2, since the Joycons are not retarded, and has things called "buttons".
Liam Nguyen
Only thing I didn't like about it was that it's cord connected.
I bought Zelda SchutzStaffel Limited Edition since it came with the controller.
I've never owned a Wii, I just bought it to play Zelda on Dolphin.
The bundle cost almost as much as the dedicated controller.
Blake Myers
Maybe the game is just plain fucking stupid for needing more than the more than enough amount of buttons on the wiimote
Lincoln Davis
Say what you want. It's still the best way how to play RE4
Nicholas Nguyen
It is a Wii U game that was meant for the tablet controller. It could have been Wiimote compatible if care was taken.
Splatoon 2 feels natural with split joycons.
Chase Cook
Why did Sony copy them and do it worse in every way?
Brody Bennett
Sony has no original ideas. They ALWAYS stole from Nintendo to try to one-up them, just for revenge on that botched licensing deal.
Selling hundreds of millions of more systems than them wasn't enough.
Matthew Watson
Even today Nintendo still wants to reinvent the controller. I really think they peaked with the wii tho, the smooth gyro plus pointer and the raw comfort of the thing was just unbeatable, I really hope they bring back something like the censor bar and that kind of aiming in the future, it would be nice to play some good looking games with those sort of controls in the future.
Kevin Taylor
because they're a retarded company.
fun fact: people tested them head-to-head at the time and the psmove was the more accurate controller. the wiimote was terrible at calculating your position or perceiving depth by comparison, even with motionplus.

I am pretty sure that Grandma doesn't care. She just wants to swing her arm in the world's least accurate bowling game (as well as not buy any other titles).
Landon Collins
best fps/tps controller ever
though, that was basically the only thing it was best at
this, also metroid 3 was great with it despite being a meh game
Noah Parker
They keep trying and failing to innovate with controllers when Microsoft already made the perfect controller.
Carson Wilson
The Wiimotes were never designed to perceive depth at all. It works nearly like a TV remote. Plus you're comparing two pieces of hardware released 4 years apart.
Easton Smith
>I AM SILLY
Xavier Robinson
the type of people casual enough to play waggleshit obviously didn't care enough to notice how inaccurate it was.
Kayden Diaz
We want the blue sky audience - Nintendo
Hudson Price
When Walmart finally got rid of these fuckers for good I bought every single one they had available at three stores for $10 a pop (nun chucks were $5)
And I’ll never sell. 4 each for Wii, Wii U , dolphin and extras
Kayden Rivera
>The Wiimotes were never designed to perceive depth at all.
iirc, some wii games had you pull the wiimote in or out, so there was some rudimentary attempt at depth perception. it sucked, though.
>Plus you're comparing two pieces of hardware released 4 years apart.
the psmove was based on eyetoy technology that predates the wiimote.
Zachary Rivera
And because they didn't want to actually CREATE a new console, they just shuffled around a few GameCube parts, shat out a last-generation SD-only console, did a gimmicky controller, and tried to convince everyone that it was the future.
All it did was create mountains of shovelware, inferior ports of Xbox 360 and PS3 games (if not entirely different games altogether by B-teams), and only a few exclusives that were ported to the Wii U either officially or through Virtual Console.
Leo Ortiz
Wiimotes are fun, it was the nunchucks that fucked up all the time. Threw one of mine away this morning after it started pressing buttons on its own.
Adam Hughes
My joystick is messed up too
