5 Most Ridiculous and Unnecessary Accessories for the Nintendo Wii

Bright Hub writes: "Like many people who own the system, I absolutely love the way the Nintendo Wii's motion controls create a truly immersive experience. Swinging the Wii Remote to return a serve in Wii Sports Resort is much more fun than simply hitting a button to do so would be. At times, it's like I can actually feel the ping pong paddle or golf club in my hand while I play.

You'd think that the ability to imagine actually holding the on-screen object you're interacting with would be enough to satisfy most people. Apparently, for some people, it isn't. There are many great, must-have accessories out there for the Wii, but it seems like the number of completely ridiculous and unnecessary addons for the console are multiplying every day.

Let's take a look at some of our least-favorite examples."

Just kick the screen of your TV in and save yourself some time...

Twilight Princess’ Hyrule Field Is Boring, Empty, And Excellent

TheGamer Writes "In my experience, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ once-warm reception has chilled somewhat over the years. Praised at launch as a beautiful return to form after the “childish” art style of its direct predecessor, the world eagerly embraced a game that more closely followed Ocarina of Time’s famous structure and plot cues. Perhaps most alluringly of all, the grandeur and sheer scope of this reimagined Hyrule Field wowed millions of us."

I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.

LoveSpuds621d ago (Edited 621d ago )

You sir, have good taste in games :)

I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.

Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!

GaboonViper620d ago

Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.

blackbeld620d ago

Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.

1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1

GaboonViper620d ago

Brilliant top 3, would love a MGS1 remake that has been rumoured.

LoveSpuds620d ago

Yup, hard to argue with that top 3 squire, some quality games right there!

-Foxtrot622d ago

Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is

....

A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.

lockedongamer1622d ago

I respectfully disagree, but they're all great games.

porkChop622d ago

I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.

I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.

godofboobees621d ago

Those are not traditional Zelda games

Crows90620d ago

Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.

porkChop620d ago

What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.

Brazz621d ago

Breath of the Wild is overrated as shot, Wind waker is much better.

P_Bomb621d ago

I’m a Link to the Past guy.

MadLad621d ago

Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.

pietro1212621d ago

I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites

John_McClane620d ago

Link to the Past was so, so good! Those chickens though! 🤣

Switch Sports Will Never Live Up To Wii Sports

The Switch just isn't equipped for a killer sports title like the Wii was

A lot of the points made here are true, yet let's give it a chance, because like the author said, the Wii was a motion control console and everyone did view it as such while the switch is not, so the way people view the game determines how much they invested in it, so again let's give it a chance and see

Ratty810d ago

Wii sports was truly atrocious and you're saying Switch Sports will be even worse? It does not bode well for Switch Sports indeed.

Fntastic810d ago

Wii Sports was ok for screwing around, but the games lacked depth. Also I'm not sure why it seems like they decided to stick with the automatic player movement so all you need to do is swing to hit something. Very noob friendly but not as much fun IMO.

CrimsonWing69810d ago (Edited 810d ago )

Wii Sports was THE game for casuals. I don’t feel many casuals own the Switch. I can’t see this doing the numbers Wii Sports did.

Einhander1971810d ago

Course it won't, the Wii was a phenomenon. Something new with the motion tech. A curiosity to almost everyone. Obviously Switch sports won't create the same impact.
