Topic: POLL: Your Experience With Kid Icarus Uprising's Controls

It's more about being away from the corporate oversight, and it seems to have worked wonderfully. He's able to do stuff the way he wants that probably nobody else would be able to get away with working at Nintendo proper yet has the full backing of Nintendo.

Doesn't HAL Labs have full creative freedom of their games? They aren't 100% owned by Nintendo, and they do work in their own office away from Nintendo HQ.

I heard alot of talk about the controls on various podcasts.  When I went in I was expecting to have issues, but I was surprised at how fast I picked it up.  Love the game, I bought a 3DS just to play it.

I've started using auto-fire. It's a pretty cheap way to play the game but it stops my hand from cramping up.

Touch screen is great for the flying parts but I find it easier to do the land sections with the ABXY for aiming.

I really like the controls...especially since I own one of these!

I find it weird that there's no general thread for Kid Icarus.

Anyway, I found the controls to be tolerable, I am left-handed and use the default settings. It hurts after a while even on the first level, unless I'm resting the 3DS somewhere. But it's not like it's unplayable, just a bit inconvenient for a handheld game.

I use auto-fire too. It actually helped me figure out not to shoot the monster with the skull face, because it doesn't do so automatically.

The worst issue with the game isn't the controls at all, to me it's the fact that I can't retry a level at intensity level 9 after dying. I hope that's one of the things they change with the upcoming patch.
