More characters/activity on screen at once. Larger environments. Less time necessary to load between environments. Shorter load times between modes.
More processing power is the difference between a smaller Hyrule Field broken up into segments where the game has to reload as you go from the plains to the mountains to the lake, or an absolutely massive Hyrule Field that is completely crystal clear, fluid and seamless from one end to the other.
The bolded aren't innovations. I'm not even sure the rest of those are either.
Do you know the meaning of the word "innovation"?

I sure do. I could define it for you if it were relevant to the discussion. You asked what benefits there are to more processing power and you got your answer and now you're saying "okay but none of those are innovations [to my subjective and often fickle satisfaction]" which isn't what anyone was discussing.
If you can make larger areas, less load time, and smoother animations, great. Those aren't really new, next gen things though, you're just doing the same thing but bigger and better.
I thought the motion controls were actually really well implemented into the game.Skyward Swords looks like great game but I'll never play it because of forced shitty motion controls.
Motion controls can be used well.Not exactly. The fact is, Wii Motion Plus isn't 100% accurate like a wired controller. Motion control being bad for gaming isn't a preconceived notion, it's an objective fact. Nintendo should stop making it harder for gamers to play their games in general. Things like low storage space, terrible account system, underpowered hardware are anti-gamer in today's market.

I can't help it mate, 99% of games only use it for the minimap. What am I supposed to think?
the tablet still has value to an entertainment center solely in its ability to stream multiple varieties of content from the system without an external display.

The fact that you admit that, means you should know that motion control should never be the only option of control in a game like Zelda.it picked which one of those directions was closet, and used that.
Nope. Nothing less than 100% is ideal for gaming. It's why competitive gamers prefer to use wired controllers over wireless even though the lag is negligible. It's the same more motion control but motion control/Wii Motion Plus is nowhere near as accurate."Objective fact"? Not even remotely. You're joking.
The only thing wrong was that you had to buy a whole new Wiimote or accessory to play the damn game. That and it forced you to pretty much sit upright.If something like motion control as implemented in Skyward Sword made it "harder" for you to play the game, you were doing it wrong.
Hey though aren't the only things. Just because it wasn't their intention doesn't mean it isn't anti-gamer. Digital gaming is growing and shipping consoles with a 8gb HD is beyond laughable.Conscious decisions that often lead to their hardware being underfeatured when compared to the competition? Sure. "Anti-gamer"? Don't take it that personally, because it isn't.
Just because it can do something doesn't mean it's useful. I can throw dead batteries at my enemies but they aren't exactly the best thing to use again my opponent. The fact is, the Tablet control has yet to be used to any degree of relevance for the most part. Sure, it can stream games but that's only necessary to the extreme minority that bought the Wii U but didn't have a TV.And even if that is the specific argument you were making - which isn't accurate, and which "the tablet controller is also a usless gimmick" does not convey - the tablet still has value to an entertainment center solely in its ability to stream multiple varieties of content from the system without an external display.
I will admit to Skyward Sword being persnickety, but that is about it. Skyward Sword had that one hurdle, and it's not that difficult to get up to otherwise enjoy a great game. Now, if one doesn't like Skyward Sword, than that's fine, no points taken off. It's just the insistence that the game is bad because of one flaw that didn't break the game.The fact that you admit that, means you should know that motion control should never be the only option of control in a game like Zelda.

IDK, sitting on my bed to play Wind Waker while my mom is plugging at City Folk isn't a bad way to kill time.Just because it can do something doesn't mean it's useful.

They go hand in hand. Motion control sucks, and they needed to make a whole new device to make it suck less. Also that SS was the only relevant game that required it.The MotionPlus predated Skyward Sword by over two years. The Remote Plus predated Skyward Sword by one year. You had the option to buy one bundled with Skyward Sword. This is a poor excuse to place more blame on motion control, which isn't even at fault here as you're blaming the peripheral, not the controls.
Are you serious? Bro, video gaming is lazy hobby. Making me swing my arm in an upright postion is not what anyone wants to do. I mean, we could go outside for that.OH THE HUMANITY!!!
Are you serious?
The 32gb is even worse. It implies that could actually have a decent amount of content on your system when in reality you can't.It is fortunate, then, that another capacity also shipped at launch, and even more fortunate that for the cost of the 8 GB and a decent external you'd pay about what one of the higher-end consoles co
Are you purposely trying to dodge the fact that nearly every single gaming outlet points out the gamepad is extremely underutilized not useful in most practical situations.No. The fact that it's useful means it's useful.
The notion that you think is useful is actually fact to you. You're in the minority mate.No, that's a fact to you, the latest in a growing line of your opinions you've tried to pass off as, and I quote, "objective fact".
