Slate Hates The Wii For Hate Hat Trick
Don't hate the player, hate the sometimes, somewhat inaccurate infrared sensor and internal gyroscope and accelerometer. Slate's a bit whiny about the not-quite dead on targeting when using the Wii-mote as a pointer and that you don't really need to know a proper golf stance to play Wii Sports.
On the latter complaint, give us a collective break, Slate! This is like saying Karaoke Revolution isn't fun because you can "cheat" by not really singing the lyrics, merely keeping the tune. And we all know Karaoke Revolution is fun! Right, guys? Right...? Careless Whisper? Anyone?
I can understand the objection, but there is a certain spirit involved in going through a flamboyant bowler's arc or tennis swing, when a simple flick of the wrist may very well do.
Admittedly, I haven't had enough experience to become frustrated with the shaky targeting, but I imagine this is going to be an issue for some people. While I personally had some control issues playing Zelda, this is a complaint I've rarely heard from some very vocal whiners.
Slate dislikes the Wii's "lousy motion control" so much that they advise you not to buy it. Sell your Nintendo stock now!
