Saint
http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=65697&tab=controls


I have only played it briefly, but I just looked at the instruction manual and it does not mention motion controls in the 'controls' section, but in the 'options' section it said you could change settings to use the motion sensor.

Edit: I just looked at the monkey king's manual and under controls it had a section on the speed tilt, this was absent in the Saint manual. So they may have done away with it in Saint... access to my Wii is blocked by a stack of drywall right now. I'm doing some remodeling. But In the next couple days I could play it and confirm the controls for you if you'd like.

Updated OP List

Balloon Pop
Plays a bit like the Arcade/PS1 version of Magical Drop. However, instead of capturing, moving and shooting the objects only a sway is allowed. The best part is the NES sideways control, so much better then using the pointer cursor. :mrgreen:

The Sideways NES style of controller is the real way to play SSBB!

This a great list. If you decide to expand the list beyond Wii I think there are a couple of games on the Wii U as well.

Thanks!

I update the OP Title and have a section ready to go for WiiU games. I'll copy and paste any Reply list to the OP. :idea:

I'll give you three that I own:

- New Super Mario Brothers U
- New Super Luigi U
- Mario Kart 8

Other Nintendo 2.5D platformers May fit the bill but I don't own those. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Edit: I went on the North America site for Nintendo and if you go and look at the list of games, they have a section where it shows controller schemes supported on a per game basis.

I went to the Nintendo site and it appears each WiiU game has its own page that has to be loaded for the controller details. Do you have a link to the Nintendo WiiU Game list where I do not have to load multiple pages?

For now updated the OP with the games you listed. I'll continue to update the OP as others post games verified to work with the Sideways NES Control.

I'm very sorry I misspoke. I meant to say that there is a section for each. Unfortunately you'd have to check on each game. My bad.
