I'm gonna side with NotLess on this argument.

I don't mind using the Wiimote and nunchuk if it's for standard control use, such as the storybook games where most of the actions can be done sitting down and with some simple wrist movements.

But thing is is, I want to play video games. Just sit down, pick up a controller and play. It's how it has always been done since the 80s and we were all fine with that.

I'm not entirely against video games that require full movement, some enjoy it. If I ever feel more health conscious about myself I'd perhaps prefer these games than a gym membership.

I just don't like games that force me to play in a way I don't want to for the sake of the story. For example, I like the Sonic Riders series, but I favour the older games more than the later games.
 * Sonic Riders was perfect, the controls were well balanced, the racing felt fast paced and exciting, especially stealing air and possition from opponents turbulence.
 * SR0G got nerfed in favour for Wii controls. I refuse to play the game with Wii controls as I played most of my Wii games with GameCube pad when available.
 * Sonic Free Riders was dispicable. Nearly broke my fingers from it.

So you see, how to play is what you make of it. Some find it more immerse to get up and be active in the game while others just want to sit down and take the challenge just by their fingertips than overly exert themselves.

This discussion has made me think of getting a rom hack of Sonic Free Riders if it means I can play it with a gamepad.
