Any weird/controversial opinions? I'll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi's tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn't have.

I'll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.

That may be the case, but I just think that those simple ideas are the most fun. They didn't have good sound or graphics, so they had to focus entirely on gameplay and they created a lot of games that are incredibly fun to play despite being very simple.

Yep. But old arcade and console systems can also have pixel-perfect gameplay not only because the pixels are big 'n chunky, but because the controls are extremely low-latency and entirely synchronized to the game processing and the display.
