Any weird/controversial opinions? I'll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi's tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn't have.

I'll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.

I agree with you to a lesser extent when it comes to the 2D games. It's so much harder to show emotion. I love V, but I feel like there are a lot of story beats that would land a lot harder in a game with good graphics.

Having said that, I prefer the gameplay of some of the 2D games to some like IX and XV. And the 3 I have played aren't as grating as others like VII, IX, and XV. So while they can only be so good, they also aren't as bad as some of the others get.

1 is nice comfort game. And honestly, beating the big villain at the beginning of the game and following the time loop would be subversive if it wasn't the first game in the series.
