Joystiq brings up a problem Wii owners everywhere are starting to realize: the Wii remote isn’t as accurate as players would like, and it’s making games frustratingly hard.
Gamers who crave a deeper challenge have to settle for battling incomprehensible controls. Wii Sports Boxing is certainly “difficult,” but that’s because the best strategy is “Flail your arms like a Muppet on PCP.” In Wii Sports Golf, you can take the exact same swing five times in a row and get wildly different results each time. And then there’s Cooking Mama. Here’s a tip: go into your real-world kitchen, and cook some actual food. It’ll be about 9,000 times less frustrating, and might result in you eating something healthier than your regular diet of Slim Jims and Funyuns.
Have you managed to adjust? Or do you still wish the Wii remote were more accurate that we’ve seen it to be? Should developers reduce the margin of error and up the sensitivity, possibly alienating those who aren’t as experienced?
