The Nintendo Wii motion controller was one of the best business moves in the history of gaming, so even though the more hardcore gaming demographic will scoff at the prospect of the family-friendly feature, it makes sense for Nintendo to keep it in there in some capacity. This doesn't necessarily mean that the NX will be the spiritual successor to the original Wii, as Nintendo has outlined time and again that the console will be aimed at core gamers, which by extension means that the light-weight, family-oriented party games won't be a priority for the console While the sensor bar certainly suggests that motion controls will have some part to play in the NX's future, it could also be there mainly to accommodate backwards compatibility with older Wii and Wii U games, signalling Nintendo's loyalty to its fanbase and those with substantial Nintendo back-catalogues. What do you think of the latest NX leaks? Based on this info, would you consider picking up Nintendo's next console later in the year?
