Seriously guys, there's a problem here. When your little itty-bitty sports game has a mode for either left or right hand play down to each individual sport, you've gotta wonder why there isn't an option in your, you know flagship launch title.
I've tried. I really have. I've spent quite a few hours with the final scheme setup, but it just isn't working. I've tried using either hand. I've kept at it.
It's just incredibly distracting, and disconnecting me from the game. I know why you lads made Link right handed, I really do: the testers in Japan (and Miyamoto himself apparently) were complaning of the exact same thing as I am now. But I really don't understand why there isn't an option to change it over for lefties like me. I mean, shit, Link remains left handed in the GC version of the game. But I'd rather play the Wii version (16:9 <3 <3 <3), my right handed mates are having so much fun playing the game this way. With things like using the bow and arrow to just pick enemies off: something no one ever bothered with in the old controller style.
I know there's been some lefties who haven't complained, or were able to adapt to this, but you know, I'm really worried now Nintendo. What about other games where I'm using gestural commands for a sword that isn't in first person (like DQ Swords). You aren't going to put in a left hand mode are you? Considering the staggering support you guys had for gals like me with the DS, this is rather disconcerting. Not to mention the fact you keep on lauding the fact that your new controller is truly either-handed.
I mean, really, I want to give you my monies, but I just can't when I am unable to play your game.
Sincerely,
~Dragona
PS: Please write back. I'd love to know the reason for this.
