Tacky

Posted in Gaming at 5:10 am

So, I’m sure you folks caught the bit on the Smash Bros. blog about the four control schemes. Yeah. The game will support Wiimote+Nunchuck, Classic Controller, GC Controller (which is apparently the preferred method), and the Wiimote alone, turned on its side Super Paper Mario-style (which is the only frame of reference I have for the positioning). Myself I’m a big fan of the Classic Controller, so I’ll likely be using that; but naturally this means that there’s a new wrinkle into the pseudo-competition… heck, I have enough trouble moving from a controller to an arcade stick or vice-versa when I’m playing Guilty Gear.

While I still think it’s awesome that the controls are going to be more or less universally accessible, I have doubts that anything but the Classic or the GC controller will work well. We shall see, of course, but the fact of the matter is the phrase “tacked-on” is dangerously close to being applied here.
