For the record I'm a hardcore gamer in my late 30s and I have felt so abandoned by Nintendo on the motion control front lately. I played and loved Twilight Princess (the first Zelda I had finished at that point), and was very excited for the HD remaster. The fact that they couldn't just leave the motion in for those that enjoyed it that way (MOST users) has my hopes dashed for the new Zelda. I refuse to buy it.
Skyward Sword was the first Zelda my wife played almost completely through just because of the control simplicity. I've talked to many others that feel the same and were very disappointed that with the WiiU Nintendo just "became like the other game companies".
I always found the fact that I could rest my hands on either side while playing Wii games on the couch was actually way MORE comfortable than a regular controller.
