I just hope whatever is the new gimmick, that it will be used well
The Nintendo Wii's controller didn't have such a good, precise sensor of what you were doing most of the times, and most games relied just on basic simple actions that could have been done with a button or a pad, like shaking it to perform a certain move or something. Some games, like WarioWare for instance, did use the controller and the console's capacities really well, but they were reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally far and few inbetween. And when they finally released the MotionPlus technology, I got my hopes up. Maybe they'll really explore it, maybe this will actually give me the feel of controlling a weapon or something instead of flickering it to do a certain pre-programmed attack. But there were only two good games that used MotionPlus - Wii Sports Resort and Red Steel 2. And now, the upcoming Skyward Sword. Everything brand new in terms of control and gameplay that the Wii seemed to promise to me, only really applied to it in less than a handful of games in its entire vast library of games. Thinking of it like that, the Nintendo Wii is a fucking embarassment (even though it does have some really good games on it, but very few of them really required the motion controls)
Feeling rigged surfaces on a touchscreen... It is an interesting concept but I can't really see it being convenient - Controllers would be fucking expensive, and I don't see how that can be applied intensively and well in gameplay. I can only see it as being a dumb situational gimmick as most Wii games treated the motion sensor.
