Motion controls aren't dead yet, folks! As shown during at E3 2017, Skyrim for Switch supports the use of the system's left and right Joy-Cons as substitutes for sword and🍸 shieꦫld...
Now for some꧋thing completely different in #Skyrim꧂Switch: use the Joy-Cons to wield a sword & shield… #BE3 pic.twitter.com/iZ4lDXgQqn
Or a bow and arrow.

It's a neat idea for sure, but I can't help but have flashbacks to a certain game called Red Steel. Remember, the Wii game that was supposed to mak♛e you feel like a cool samurai mercenary assassin but really just made you frustrated as you wiggled your arm🐲 at the TV, trying to get the game to recognize your movements. It seems I'm not alone, as a fair number of reactions to these gifs has been... well, it ain't positive.
oh no. bad bad idea.
How is this new? We did this in skyward sword and it was horrible #mo🌜tioncontrolssuck
Eww.
not the best idea to showcase the motion controls over regular controls tbhmight make ppl think that motion ಞis the only option
But maybe people like us are jaded. What do you think? Are you 🦄going to use motion controls when you play Skyrim on Switch?
