I've extensively criticized the dumb mirroring of Zelda wii, I even made a thread about it four years ago when they revealed the wii trailer.

But those times have come and gone, we now know that TP sucked and moved on.

So, you people are still missing the important thing here Base10 doesn't have a lefty mode, Ouendan has one and is a game that doesn't even need it, for shame Nintendo! I'm going to write a strongly worded letter.

As a left-handed-Colombian-hardcore-gamer, you're the last constituent on earth these companies are going to listen to.

You and your cold hard facts are not going to stop me :___(

I've never found it terribly debilitating being a lefty. I guess I just play Wii games right handed. It wasn't too hard to adjust. Funnily enough I play cricket right handed.

Considering the motion/IR implementation in TP I don't really see why they had to make Link a righty. It was more a superficial move to create the illusion you had more control than you did. Handedness doesn't matter for canned sword swings and IR bow pointing other than a minor illusion point to trick people into thinking they are there.

I'm a southpaw and have little issue with Wii games. Like Pro stated if you grew up with console games the nunchuck should work fine in your left.

I don't think that's the point, though. It isn't that people can't adapt, it is that they shouldn't have to. After over 30 years of gaming, one thing I'm constantly disappointed about is that there still isn't a standard feature of customizable controls. There is no single control setup which is perfect for everyone, people have their preferences so all games should contain options to use the controller however people see fit. Since that's such an easy feature to incorporate, it is simply inexcusable that it hasn't become a standard.

Columbians, left-handeds, girls... I think the problem is too many whiny minorities

I hear right-handed males complain about control setups all of the time.

Funnily enough you play cricket!

And is funnily a word?

It's the funnest of words.

Mop it up · « **Reply #35 on:** February 08, 2010, 05:47:59 PM »

Funnily is a word, yes. It is the adverb form of "funny."

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 08, 2010, 06:04:48 PM »

what about funner? what form of funny is that?

Stratos · « **Reply #37 on:** February 08, 2010, 06:11:01 PM »

This thread is teh funnerest.

Mop it up · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2010, 06:11:36 PM »

"Funner" is a slang adjective for "fun," there is no relation to the word "funny."

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 08, 2010, 06:23:31 PM »

Funnerily enough, slang is the funner way to speak when trying to have fun and being funny.

i thoguth this comparison was interesting, although i might do it over in paint over photoshop, because for ome reson the caligraphy brushes on there look spiffy.

I can write with the mouse pretty well with my right hand, this has took years of practice

i write as well as i can write with a stylus with my left hand, thats not the best sample though

i can kinda write with my right hand with a stylus, but its really hard to keep it straight

its almost impossible to write with my left hand using a mouse, the mouse in contoured for right hands, i had to change the slant of the brush just to try to go with my strokes.

Bill never left, it was all a hoax to get the fanboys back on their high horses and rally against the anti-nintendo sentiment running rampant thru this, a Nintendo forum.

Like Tupac and Elvis, Bill living in a remote tropical island where he secretly checks up on the forums as an alternate persona. However unlike Tupac, his faux martyrdom yielded results from the message he spread.
