The controller is one of the main reasons I don't play my Wii, along with online gaming, and having technology sub-par to the original Xbox.

I think there's a reason "gamepads" are the default controller for game systems. They work for the largest percentage of titles out there. Light guns, fishing rods, steering wheels, dance pads, musical instruments, and giant mech cockpits work great in a very small and highly specialized set of games. Motion controls also work really well, for a very small set of games. But I've come to understand that I'm not Nintendo's target audience.

I also don't like that there's no wired Wii remote. Wired controllers make development so much nicer.
