WiiU: Buttons or no buttons?

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

Let’s talk WiiU! In the first of several short WiiU articles, I’ll write about a topic related to WiiU that’s rattling around in my brain and ask for your comments.

Nintendo has a history of innovation that others then try to copy (Move anyone?). Motion gaming has caught on, and as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword proved, it works and it works well. My question to you is, will Nintendo go back to button controls with the new WiiU controller? We know that Wii remotes are compatible, but is that going to change the experience?

Personally, I’d love to see The Legend of Zelda with a clear HUD by utilizing the new controller and give my buttons back! Could Nintendo do a dual release of the next Zelda game? One with motion controls, the other, a more classical approach with classic buttons and analog control? Let the wild speculation begin!

    Honestly I liked the motion control better.

    If anything, they’d most likey give the option to swap between classic button mode and motion based controls, but, more likely, parts of the game – such as combat – would be motion control based whereas browsing your inventory would be used via the classic button control scheme. I’d really like for Nintendo to stick with motion control based combat, it’s so satisfying!

    Maybe we can use the Wii remote as a sword, and the new WiiU remote as the shield! Anyone? Anyone?
