I don't think there has been official conformation, but I'm pretty sure that you have to use the Wiimote and only the Wiimote.

But I agree that you should be able to use all controller types. As an example, Super Paper Mario forced use of the Wiimote only, and that game would have benefited from an analogue stick.

You can also use the Nunchuk.

Yeah, you're right. I just checked and the new Nintendo Power confirms it. That's good, though I wonder if it's actually going to have analogue control?

If 2D Mario didn't need analogue control, why does 2D Mario need it now? You just need a run button.

Punch-Out's NES-style controls could have supported the classic of Cube controllers like Brawl did but it didn't. I wonder if Nintendo is trying to phase that type of controller support out to better push the remote. Any time they allow classic or Cube controls the consensus is that the "normal" controls are the way to go. But that makes the remote look inferior and we can't have that!

Though some quick research suggests the NSMB has Warioland patented forced waggle so they probably "can't" support the other control options anyway. Asking Nintendo to provide the option is pretty much asking them to expose the gimmicky nature of practically every Wii game that isn't part of the Wii series. Once you successfully map motion controls to a conventional controller you're saying that motion control is unnecessary. Still wish they would do it but they have to keep the illusion alive for the non-gamers I guess.

Technically 3D Mario doesn't "need" an analogue stick. When it comes to necessity you'd be surprised at how little a game truly "needs", therefore it is kind of silly to say something is needed. 2D Mario existed before analogue sticks so now that they exist why not give the option of using it instead of a run button? This is "New" Super Mario Brothers after all so it should have new features and options.

I wouldn't want to go up against Rainbow Ride with a D-Pad, that's a suicide mission

EasyCure · « **Reply #707 on:** November 09, 2009, 08:51:00 PM »

i wonder if my insurance would cover the damage done to my thumbs if i had to use a d-pad for that...

I got all the stars in SM64: DS by using the control pad.

You can't get more 3D than Rainbow Ride in 3D Mario in Mario 64 in 3D.

not true, present it in disney digital 3d with 3d glasses and there you have it!

You shake the Wii Remote a bunch in this game. In my opinion, the motion works great, and fits the action Mario does. Definitely has a reason for Wii Remote only. There are also tons of things controlled by the Wii Remote's tilt all through the game. It fits very well. Don't be stupid and complain about that before you've played it.

Man, I hope not. That totally tainted Wii Punch Out for me, as I've been blessed with large appendages and my thumbs are just too large for the d pad on the wii mote. Due to its small size its really tough to hit the right arrow without hitting another at the same time. Its a game breaker. To not include classic controller support on Wii games that use classic controls is simple unacceptable and insensitive to people like me. Why sell me two different classic controller designs, yet remove the option to use them from your own games?

Too bad for you.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #716 on:** November 09, 2009, 11:44:42 PM »

Yo, Dasmos, I've read some DSE's in Australia were selling the game early. You might want to check yours out.

Dasmos · « **Reply #717 on:** November 09, 2009, 11:48:41 PM »

Holy ****. Going now.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #718 on:** November 09, 2009, 11:54:07 PM »

Well, call first, probably.

Dasmos · « **Reply #719 on:** November 10, 2009, 12:00:32 AM »

It's only 2 minutes away and I have to take my sister to work who works in the same shooping centre, so it's not really any inconvenience if it's not there.

Mop it up · « **Reply #720 on:** November 10, 2009, 12:11:38 AM »

It has been confirmed that the game supports the Nunchuk.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #721 on:** November 10, 2009, 12:19:07 AM »

I guess I could confirm it, too, but I'm happy with the NES style controls.

Any questions about things you guys want me to check out? If need be, I'll answer with spoiler tags. I'll be back in a while and answer "early" in the morning.

Mop it up · « **Reply #722 on:** November 10, 2009, 12:23:20 AM »

The obvious question from me would be "Is Birdo in the game?" but I think the answer is also obvious.

Dasmos · « **Reply #723 on:** November 10, 2009, 12:47:43 AM »

Well my Dick Smith's Electronics didn't have it. I might ring the other one that's fairly near me tomorrow, but probably not.
