@leonro

Well, there's Prime Remastered now, but even before that there was World of Goo. However, the problem with pointer controls on the Switch is that it's imprecise and will not be consistently calibrated like the Wii's because there's no IR sensor bar. You can find something similar to the Wii's pointer's consistency in VR, because there's cameras all over that can accurately see the controllers' positions. But again, the Switch does not have anything to check the controller position and the sensors of a controller are always a little inaccurate.

@@macgeek2004 I always played with the Wii in the living room, and the remotes worked great with the IR sensor bar. I never had to turn on a lamp near the TV, as we don't have one. The only times it was wonky was when they were too close to the bar, but otherwise the experience was good. The TV there is still the same 48" 3D 1080p LCD, so I don't see why size would have been an issue. That was already quite a large display at the time. I also never used the NES zapper, so I can't comment, but I don't believe there are many who agree with you that gyro is a strict improvement over that solution. It is more practical, definitely, and allows for seeing somewhat precise movement outside of pointing the controller at the sensor bar. Wii Sports Resort was literally a tech demo for what is possible only with gyro. But with no tracking that compares the controller's position to at least one static object around it, like the Wii with the sensor bar, or VR tracking the entire room, you will never be able to pinpoint the controller's position as accurately. Skyward Sword was flawed in that it solely relied on the gyro and did not use the sensor bar to reset the remote's position whenever it was pointed at the screen. You literally cannot play the game without resetting the sword's position every once in a while. The sensor bar allowed for precision that just is not possible for the current Switch to achieve, or for the Wii Motion Plus accessory. Also, there was absolutely no reason to use gyro for aiming something when that action was already so much more accurate with the Wii's old pointer mechanics. You appear to not have understood my point in the first place. It's not thar gyro is better than IR tracking or vice versa, they just have different strengths, and IR is strictly better when it comes to using a pointer.

Also, Wiimotes have a small memory storage (Used for Mii transfer), and using the Japan-exclusive TV No Tomo Guide channel, it was possible to use the Wiimote as TV remote for certain Japanese TV brands.

The wii remote is severely underrated. I've always wanted a bluetooth controller version so I could use it for pc and switch. The d-pad and horizontal shape make it perfect for 2-D platformers(like cave story)

Our Wii remotes speakers barely work anymore, occasionally cutting in and out with a staticky undertone. Which means if you’re playing Twilight Princess and Midna giggles at you through the controller, it comes out a garbled crackly mess that sounds like a singing birthday card left out in the cold for 6 years I guess it does still add ambiance, just more of the ‘creepy and terrifying’ kind, which luckily still works for that game.

Ah yes, I remember this game called "calling" on the wii. And I swear. It was the scariest game because of that features. There were game scene were you had to listen to the wii controller "kinda like a cellphone" in order to solve puzzles in order to advance into the game storyline.

Midna's giggle coming through the little speaker will live rent free in my head until the day I die.

Ever tried playing smash bros at night and trying not to wake anyone up only to get Kirby yelling through the remote “HIIIIIII”.

MKWii really uses the speaker well. The sound when you perform a trick, and the sound of making contact with the track after jumping in the air. It really makes the action feel like it's in your hands.

The HD rumble on the switch mimics audio so technically the joy cons do have audio. However, there is another feature of the wiimote that most people don't even know about. You could put your mii on your wiimote to bring them to another friend's wii so the Wiimote was kind of like a jump drive in that way.

i remember being a kid and realizing how game-changing the speaker was. when the battery was low, you’d be unable to hear the speaker or use rumble- and that’s when you’d really notice it

In 2011 E3 when the wii was announced the startup sound was created by the tv and gamepad at the same time so it combined

Another cool feature with the Wii Remote is that each has a small, built in memory space in them. You can save about 8 of your Mii on your Remote, so then you could transfer data over to play as yourself at say, your friends house.

dude that speaker quality while it wasn't the absolute best, it was charming I miss the Wii era

I just loved the sound every time I hit the tennis ball or the rumble of the bowling ball of the hit of the golf ball I just loved it

the little jingle you get when winning in just dance was so cool too

Or the sound of the sword, bow, Midna etc.. in Zelda Twilight Princess!! So good!

Twilight Princess sword fighting and archery, Skyward Sword's fighting and core ability use are what made good use of the speakers

The Wii Remote still has the advantage over Joy Cons in motion controls due to the IR sensor providing accuracy and microrecalibration.

Best use was No More Heroes where the wiimote becomes a cellphone and can hear the call through the speaker. I really do appreciate the Wii. If it had Wii U graphics from the start it would've been the perfect Nintendo system.

This just unlocked a memory of me hearing the crowd cheering at me during Wii bowling 😭♥️

Honestly i love the speaker controllers. I know it's not the most popular or beloved console by any means, but I love how the WiiU music in certain games/apps is split into two parts, a gamepad part and a part that comes put of your tv's speakers

Wii Remote speakers make everything sound like it's drowning

The Delfino Square music is bringing back some MKDS 150CC Grand Prix memories.

The brawl screams that came out of the remote still gives me goosebumps

I remember this one random game on the Wii Shop that had you pick up a phone at certain points, and the voice would come out of the Wiimote super quietly, making you hold it up your ear to hear it, just like, a phone! This feature was amazing back then. Wonder what that game was called. I remember it had some mechanic that had you in dark rooms, and you had to light up certain spots to make them walkable, otherwise you'd straight up be eaten by the shadows or something

I like how when it's your turn to bowl in wii sports not only will the game beep,but the controller does too just in case your far way from the tv.

The wii or wii u was my WHOLE childhood

I remember it can hold miis, it's pretty cool

The only problem is that if your playing without the audio then you will just hear random sounds from the game through your wii remote

Another thing the Wii Remote has over the Joy Con *Lack of joycon drift*

in pikmin 2 that speaker and rumble is essential it makes gameplay 10 times better

It was my childhood from 1-12 it has a special place in my heart.

I remember when before I would do a dance in just dance 4 my Wii would say DANCE!
