Oh well. I’ll just leave it at that.

    Honestly, I have never played a game as comfortably as with Wii games where you can hold your hands independent of each other wherever you want. The big motions are a myth, it’s enough to waggle the controller with a flick of the wrist because it doesn’t really register motion but force.

    I really wish that having independent controller parts had taken off. I could easily rest one hand behind my head while the other lay in my lap. It was awesome.

    Sadly my Wii has kicked the bucket by now.

      The switch has the same appeal, although the controllers are a little small they are generally very comfortable to play with in two hands.

      VR is done with a controller for each hand. Nice to play old emulated games on a virtual 4k screen set up wherever you want at any given moment, any size and distance. There are regular olden days style flat screen emulators, but also a few systems have full VR emulators too, they convert the games into 3D, either immersive first person or diorama mode. There is also a 3DS emulator in VR so you can play 3DS games in perfect 3D and instead of 400x240(240p), you can play in 1080p or more. And if you missed out and are curious about Nintendo’s Virtual Boy, of course there are VR emulators for that. There were some pretty cool games, and now they don’t have to only be in various shades of red. You can pick which color they are various shades of. And there is a project currently in the works to colorize each game properly instead, as an overlay.

      Can also play while laying down and put the screen on your roof. Or play while a passenger in a car, bus, train, plane.

      And with VR, hand motions are 1 to 1, no waggles, but also no exaggeration. You move your hand exactly how you want to swing your racket, or sword, or staff. People have gotten pretty creative with spell casting in various games.

      But yeah, great way to play wii games. Especially the ones that supported wii motion plus. Wii is one of the systems where you can choose to play in VR, not just flat screen.

        Yeah. It’s a shame that you can’t use VR controllers as normal gamepads. At least the Quest ones can’t be used that way.

        And my disabled ass really would use my Quest 1 to play flat games if those fuckers hadn’t pulled Quest 1 support a month before they added laying down mode to all other headsets.
