Equations of motion games

The Mario Tennis brand has been around for some 20 years and counting. Tennis being what it is - a physically demanding sport where balls slam into rackets and each competitor feels that hard smack in their hands and forearms - it was always going to be an appealing venue for Nintendo to explore via motion control technology.

The second time's the charm for developer Camelot Software. Thanks to the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, that aforementioned kineticism that helps to define the sport can truly be felt at last. From subtle vibrations as the tennis ball nears its destination to full-blown vibrations as the ball bumps into Mario's racket and an appropriately "bouncy" aftermath as it's flung back across the net , Mario Tennis Aces has it all.

The World Ends With You straddles the line of what constitutes a motion game, as the original DS release was completely controlled with the Stylus. We would then argue that since players had to flip and scratch moves into the screen, it counts.

To make it fairer, the recent Switch port did add motion controls when docked. No matter how one plays it, the game deserves to be on this list for being a fantastic RPG with a unique gameplay twist and amazing beats.

Players are basically a god that Quill can interact with. While the majority of the game is played with the PS4 DualShock, players can also use movements to alter the world. Moving rocks in order for Quill to pass is one example. It is a sight to see.

Beat Saber is another great, albeit different, VR experience that is supported by most compatible platforms. It mixes the fantasy of becoming a Jedi with the rhythmic action of Guitar Hero. Songs generate blocks. And in order to keep the beat, one has to swipe at the different colored blocks with the correctly colored Beat Saber.

For a more intense and engaging music experience, we recommend the Dance Central series. It may be a bit harder to play nowadays compared to other dance games like Just Dance. But of the two, it is the more thorough workout. This should come as no surprise as it was developed by Harmonix, the creators of Rock Band. Dancing is a natural fit for motion gaming and remains just as strong a genre. Pretty much any entry in the series is worth a look, but our strongest recommendation is Dance Central Spotlight for Xbox One.

Its clean interface and sizable song library make it a strong contender for best chapter. Of course, this Zelda epic on Switch shines in its own right - with its thrilling action, dynamic gameplay, and vast landscapes that invoke exploration. Less appreciated is the game's subtle-but-effective use of motion controls. Whether moving with the handheld screen itself or pointing with the Joy-Con, aiming the bow feels surprisingly smooth and precise.

But The Big N also sprinkles in other neat uses of motion control by way of fun puzzles in certain shrines. In these scenarios, the player must tilt pinball-like ancient contraptions just so, or pivot metal devices between obstacles. The precision requires skill, but the relative ease involved in the controls themselves serves as a valuable reminder how far motion gameplay has come.

Still, Nintendo wisely recognizes that less can be more - as is the case here - and the motion rarely dominates. It merely acts as a handy supplement at times, and that's part of why it works. While Nintendo touted the ability to dual-wield motion controllers on Switch, few games actually utilized this. Players can pick from 15 cartoony boxers, each with its own abilities and mechanics which usually include extendable arms.

The bouts of action and nuances of the separately-controlled limbs bring an immersive, arcade-like experience that's hard to step away from - even when winded. Up to four players can step into the virtual ring and clash in this chaotically fun fighter.

Why did Nintendo make another exercise game with a giant ring for a controller? That statement is without hyperbole. The way it tracks movement is near perfect. Who knew those two genres could mix so well?

This console-based workout routine goes from cool to downright critical for those who want a fun and engaging workout routine from the comfort of their own homes. The Wii would not have been such a hit without its pack-in game, Wii Sports. It was the perfect showcase to demonstrate how motion controls could be used by everyone, from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent. Boxing, bowling, Tennis, and everything in-between were conversation starters.

It is simple compared to a lot of these other experiences, but motion gaming would not be where it currently is today without Wii Sports. The Big N would release a follow-up, Wii Sports Resort, in - which did a fine job of showing off the improved functionality of the then-new Wii MotionPlus tech. Delete Quiz. Question 1.
