They can improve it or remove it completely.

Yes it should. Joy cons replacing wii motion plus could be incredible! I liked the motion combat in the original.

I tried to play trough this game a few times on the Wii, but the tiresome rubbish controls got the better of me every time. And the game really was't all that fun to booth. Give me standard controls, with no motion controls (a bare miniumum at least or optional) and sure, I might give it another shot!

I never played it so I'd prefer to not have to dig out my old wii again and play a nicer version of it on the switch

I didnt get to play it on the Wii, so for me, yes it should be on the Switch. Hopefully it happens!

I love Skyward Sword. I had zero motion control issues. I wonder if its whether people used the Wii Motion Plus connector vs the standalone version that makes a difference.

Because motion controls are horrible. I never beat skyward. I just could not get into it. Story seemed okay but light as always. The controls just felt so off. I had controls in my brain to do all these moves and my brain kept going why am I doing this and not hitting -> + A instead. All the motion controls in the game could easily be replaced with controls for the same things that have been in other games. There is nothing in this that could not be replaced with simple button pushes. That was the gimmick Nintendo went for and it got crazy good reviews, They had to reinvent their own motion control system to be more sensitive to use it. Basically remaking hardware in order to make the game even possible. It was a crazy time in gaming. I bet the PS5 controller could do the whole thing with finger movements.

Make a non motion control version and i'll buy it. Hated the motion controls in the original and it's why i tried it from a friend and stopped playing after a couple hours. While i enjoyed Metroid Prime trilogy, i'd much prefer a non motion control version.

Crazy to say it would be a poor fit? the motion control was an interesting concept in the game and made it interesting. They can fix the issue Wii had and make it work with the joy cons, they can also put in a standard control option as well.
