For me, button controls wins this hands down. I like the Wii motion ,but it kinda makes you look stupid just waggling to death. Also, button controls made video game history. The button controls will always and probably always will be the best controls to me. Anyways, debate please!

Like the Wii: A bit of both. Ever played WarioWare Smooth Moves? LOVE it.

The Wii Remote establishes a good balance of both motion control and button combos.

One of the perfect examples of this is a game few of you may have heard of: One Piece: Unlimited Adventure.

The battle system was basically button mashing according to onscreen commands. Combos could be strung together like A, A, AB, B, Wii Remote Shake, Control Stick-A, etc. There was no dependence on motion control, but you could use it and it would be easier to do than a complex button combo.

Let's look at the two other console's attempts to utilize motion control:

PlayStation Move: You're kidding me, right? It looks exactly like the Wii Remote, but clunkier and uglier. The Wii Remote - with or without MotionPlus- would be more responsive than this.

Project Natal: This is basically just a PSEye. It's not even ripping off the Wii Remote, but the PSEye didn't have any commonly used applications like the Wii Remote has (i.e. point-and-shoot, motion-detected sword swipes, shaking the Wii Remote).

PlayStation 3's PSMove probably won't sell to their current market, and Project Natal relies totally on motion of the player, which is exhausting.

All those who complain about the Wii "making you do work", most games don't have a direct dependence on motion control. Nearly all games that implement it still use the buttons (Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a perfect example: Motion control is OFF by default, and although I do have Smash attacks assigned to shaking the Wii Remote on a custom control method I use, I hardly ever remember I can execute the Smash attacks by shaking the controller.) and you're never completely reliant on motion control unless it's a demo game like Wii Sports/Resort that are purely designed to demonstrate basic controls.

Oh, and for the record, pointing to shoot in The Conduit is a lot more responsive and reflexive to me than aiming with a dual analog gamepad.

I also like using combination of both.

I like a combination of both. At times though motion control isn't as 1:1 as it should be, but Nintendo is fixing that. Also other times, button controls are too hard and motion control is needed.

I am a button person. I have been opposed to the gimmicky idea of motion controls since very near the start, but they are O.K. if it's a game like Wii Sports or whatever.

Buttons, hands down.

I'm more buttons, mainly because of my laziness. I can enjoy a bit of motion control, but when it comes to buttons, It play it any time I can.

Button Controls FTW!!!

I prefer buttons.

I prefer buttons. But sometimes I like a little both.

Definitely buttons.

Here's one for you...try virtual reality.

I like both of them. Button controls because they're easier to handle. Motion controls because I can control the movements (and that it's so much fun).

Hmm, let us see.. I guess buttons are better in things like racing games and motion is more for leisure or party games.

well i play button controls more and like Fubab 107 I'm lazy so yea button controls

Button. But if I'm playing one of those flying sims and such, the motion controls would be awesome.

To me, it depends on the game. Wii Sports? Derp, motion controls. Smash Bros? Buttons. Mario Kart? I'd prefer my Classic Controller Pro kthnx. Strangely, I prefer motion controls when I have more space to swing. Not like you need to actually swing it (derrp flick your wrist olol)

Suddenly, I have a urge to play Kingdom Hearts with motionplus. That'd be the day. Zelda is pretty cool with motion control.

In the end, I prefer it to be a optional control scheme in most, if not all, games.

I'm more use to button's.

Buttons, Thats how I grew up with.

I played many motion control games on iPod Touch, and I hated them because I can't control accurately on some games, like in HeavyGunner
