Add to that Nintendo clearly intended to use Wiimoteplus in the Zelda series after Skyward Sword. Most reviews agreed, however dudebros lacked intuition, and seeing the mass of men are dudebros, the latter became popular opinion, and in turn forced Nintendo to change their direction of Zelda control. The same thing happened after Windwaker in that TP was initially going to be WW2, but dudebros didn't like the art style forcing Nintendo to make TP.
Now the opinion of WW is extremely high. Perhaps if people hadn't been such f-ing dudebros you might have received WW2 instead of a heartless TP. Being a dudebro has serious consequences. Hopefully in the future there will be youtube videos helping dudebros reform.
The ones at, "fault" are gamers. It is hard to blame Nintendo for moving away from the Wiimote because it was what the majority of gamers appeared to desire.
Wiimote was brilliant. Goldeneye 007 (Wii) = best console control of FPS game. SkywardSword = best control of a Zelda game... ever. Pikmin 3 (Wii U) = best interface of RTS on a console... ever.
That's 3 genres that could have had unique clones of the some of the best games created. FPS, 3rd Person adventure (Which could be created into 3rd person shooter), and RTS (Something consoles lack).
Part of the issue is that the Wii had so much shovelware, or junkware that it took away from the Wii's brilliant titles, and ultimately the Wii's legacy.
It angers me that most gamers are resistant to the advantages of the Wiimote (plus), and would rather be, "Dudebro", but I'm forced to accept it, or be mad, so I do my best with acceptance.
We know the Wii, Wiimote(plus), and Wii U are superior, and will likely be evidenced in the years to come when there is no backwards compatibility, and their demand skyrockets in the 2nd hand market. Might be wise to grab a new, cheap Wii, and Wii U to keep for yourself, and for resell to double, or triple your money in 5 years which would be justified because ignorant gamers are what drove it away.
Skyward Sword in particular might be very hard to come by. I recently bought a new(sealed), SS gold Wiimote bundle for a little over $100. I was going to open it (I finished SS years ago), but might not now seeing a lot of the discussion around it.
I'm for it. It's nice not to have to change discs. Plus, takes away the, "Should I buy 2 copies of Zelda LE" frustration because there will be 0. It's the way the world is moving. To not do so would be another example of Nintendo being stuck in the past.
Pikmin, Pioltwings, and Waverace... All would be fantastic launch titles with Pikmin being the meat and the other two being Potatoes.
A Zelda game would likely be smart in getting more early adopters to the system because many foolish people always say, "I'll buy one when a Zelda game comes out for it." (referring to Wii U)
Mario is so beat to death (as well as Kart) that I'm ok not seeing one of those again for a long time unless it's Galaxy 3.
