As for the M+ Zelda question... Tiger Woods seems to calibrate seamlessly. There's a mention of placing it facedown for a few seconds similar to WSR if you feel that it is not calibrated properly. But there's no popup screens or anything noticeable. And after 2 months of play now, I've never noticed a problem. :o
RE4 is the answer to the Sonic and the quality 3rd party games question. :P
