No, but "I get tired from moving my wrist" and/or "I am to lazy to move my wrist" argument is getting old. I agree that de Blob should have used the a-button to jump, but then again I could have used better level design also.

 So, tiring motions shouldn't be called out? Because besides retarded, it IS tiring. 

So how do you masturbate?

Motion controls were fun in 2006. I could easily live without them now, though.

 Yeah, Red Steel 2 would be so much better with buttons

I don't. And I have no idea why would you bring that up anyway. 

But I guess defending poorly implemented motion controls calls for poorly chosen analogies.

It will take me that long to take a single dump.

BTW, it sounds like you are just ass at De Blob, cause the jumping is fine. Do you know how to cancel your jump mid-way through? Or bouncing off walls? Or the lock on? It works fine. Just swing.

I am not ass, it is just a pain. This isn't sword slashing in Zelda where the action is sort of on/off, there doesn't need to be any nuance to it. With jumping it is all about precision, it's all about timing and flicking the wiimote does not allow the same level of control as a button press. But its not just that, I don't like how bouncing off the walls is handled, its sticky and de blob jumps in strange directions, partly due to the camera. The lock on will many times lock on to what you don't want to lock onto. In a platformer you should not be relying on those things, does Mario need a lock on, no.

Its a great game but you can't tell me with a straight face that it is an excellent controlling platformer cause it is not.

I just want to make clear that I am not in the tired camp, a can shake my wrist for hours.

 I bet you can.

 I think it's more annoying than physically tiring, although I have found it tiring as well, after long gaming sessions. I just believe that mapping jump (which is the core gameplay element) in a platformer towards motion controls is a poor design choice.

You guys need to chill. Right, fucking now?

I am trying to wrap my brain around how "right fucking now?" can be a question.

One character makes all the difference

IGN dude says: 

When it comes to Super Mario Galaxy 2, I'm slightly more excited than I was with the original Galaxy, but not by much. I know exactly what I'm going to get: a polished platformer. But for me, there still isn't the hook that I need in gaming. Maybe the Mario universe just doesn't do it for me. Sure, he's one of – if not the most – iconic and endearing characters in videogames, but I dislike his design. I sincerely believe that Mario's (well-deserved) status prevents people from realizing how terrible of a character he is. And when I play a game with characters, I need good characters. Sorry Mario!

Another IGN dude:

 This probably isn't going to endear me to anyone in this group, but I really just don't care about Super Mario Galaxy 2. I didn't care about the first one, either. Oh, and I didn't care about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Carrot Mario Adventures Super OK Shinden (import-only ). I'm 100 percent over the Mario universe. Now before everybody goes all purply and calls for my death, let me caress that statement a bit. It's not that I don't like the Mario world or respect its immeasurable contribution to videogames. I do. Just like you guys, I sat on the floor in front of my TV for hours upon hours as a kid playing and replaying the early Super Mario Bros. games. But Nintendo has been iterating on the same idea for more than 20 years, and I'm just tired of jumping around picking up little gold things. For me to care about Mario again, I need Nintendo to take him somewhere crazy. And no, the "galaxy" is not crazy enough. I played the first Super Mario Galaxy and gave it a fair shake. It bored me.

Well I'm having a shit-tastic night. I bought a Nintendo point card and planned on downloading Bit.Trip Runner tonight.  While scratching off the silver cover that hides the number, I got a little too zealous and actually scratched through the card itself and went through the number. Now I have no code to enter...

Damn, sorry to hear that, robio.
