Talk it Out Tuesday – Motion Controls in Odyssey

Welcome to /r/nintendo's weekly debate thread, Talk it out Tuesday.

Each week we're going to be putting some of the toughest questions in the Nintendo Universe to rest. Things like Pokemon generation 1 vs generation 3, Mario Kart vs Diddy Kong Racing and more!

This week's question is: What do you think about Super Mario Odyssey's motion controls?

The most (as well as one of the only) controversial aspect of Super Mario Odyssey is by far it's use of motion controls. They improve your abilities, with faster spinning hat attacks and downwards hat throws. In addition, you can enhance the abilities of select captures with them. Some have even gone as far the say that motion controls are mandatory to 100% Odyssey, although those claims do seem to be from people who just aren't think outside the box enough. The question stands: Are the motions controls in Odyssey a good thing, or something better left out?

Same rules as always:

  • Go easy with the downvotes in here, there are no wrong answers.

  • If live chat rooms are more your speed, feel free to take the discussion to our r/nintendo Discord server.
