He uses the wiimote in his right ****ing hand naturally. He's mixed ****ing handed.
And I tried both ways, using it in my right hand is like trying to write with it (ie horrible and feels wrong) and with my left it's completely disorienting and I have to go and think each and every move ahead of time. Which ****ing SUCKS because my right handed friend just DIVED RIGHT IN and the controls were like second nature for him.

Force yourself to be right handed, do things so your brain makes your right hand the dominant one.Dragona Akehi said:
i dun get it. what part is disorienting? the sword swiping is completely independent of direction, so that shouldn't be it. moving? it's done with analogue stick. aiming? well it's point and shoot.Dragona Akehi said:
i mean if it's just because link's displayed as a right hander, then i think that one can adapt once you're really into the game.

Dragona Akehi said:So when is a lefthanded person going review the ****ing game? I played it earlier in the week and it was incredibly disorienting -- I had to think every goddamned step ahead of time to do anything. Eeergh.
Can you explain how it's any harder than using a regular controller? Stick in your left hand, b buttons in your right? I don't see how it can make much of a difference.
They should have put the option in though, obviously.

Have you played it? It's disorienting to me. And Nintendo (Miyamoto HIMSELF) thinks it was disorienting for RIGHT HANDED people when Link was left handed.
So if it's such a non-issue, why did they flip the entire game in the first place?
I'm having problems. I have to get the GC version I guess. Sorry for raining on your parade here.

But the game is so immersive that you get disoriented. It's that good. I hope.

You've seriously got to be crazy. I'm going to play this game with my left hand (I'm right handed) just for the hell of it. There's no way it's as disorienting as you're making it out to be. Perhaps when you're aiming the bow it gets slightly disorienting, but don't you just compensate for that in like... 10 mins?Dragona Akehi said:

Wii sports lets you set right or left handed for each individual sport. Why isn't their flagship title the same? I was bowling way way better when I switched my Mii over to Left Handed. Same with Tennis and whatnot.
However I should get out of this thread before the hive really begins attacking.

How was bowling??
Did you throw any strikes or just one pinners and gutter balls like the clowns at Gamespot??

Dragona Akehi said:
That sorta makes sense since you can put english on the ball. Unless there is something similar in TP, I'm not really sure how it would get in the way except for looking odd onscreen. Do you have similar problems playing, say, an FPS on PC with a mouse? Most games have right handed players.

Have I missed the thread about a pre-launch party or something?

No, I wasn't joking. I've been trudging though this mockery of a game (Okami) for some weeks now, and finally I've just given up on it. It was so close to being an amazing game, but just feels so flat and forced. I can't wait for Zelda though! Looks to meld the best things of Wind Waker (story development) and Ocarina of Time (almost everything else)!

I was doing the gutterball-dance until I switched the Mii over to being left handed. It's a really sensitive controller. I did get one strike and then mainly spares after that. Tennis and whatnot was the same deal.
vitaflo said:
To be perfectly honest, it's much more involved (moreso than I really thought it would be) now that you're actually waggling rather than just a mere button press. It's like my brain and hands are expecting one thing and my eyes are seeing another. I imagine I will eventually "learn" it but I'd rather not -- especially when my right handed friend just jumped right in and had fun -- no need for any "adjustment time" or "learning curve".
So I'm trying to decide if I get the Wii version and relearn a game I shouldn't have to, or just get the GC version (which seems much less fun to play: what I was doing, while extremely frustrating on one level, was also clearly "fun").

According to Jeremy Parish, the first five hours of the game is basically a sleep-inducing tutorial. Maybe that's enough time to adjust to the controls, but maybe it's not.

Oh, I already knew I was screwed in Guitar Hero. They need to make a left handed controller. I'm not kidding.

Dragona Akehi said:
Didnt we have to 'learn' that a button press = a swing of the sword as well? I cant imagine the wiimote being more disorienting than that. But because now theres two choices, I guess it would be easier to go for the controls you have already learned before. But that would almost seem like you just dont like change.

i understand nintendo is distributing a remirrored version but it'll only be available in select stores.

Toma said:
Well at the very worst, I could get the GameCube version, perhaps not as fun, missing something (like a dungeon, knowing Nintendo), along with the lack of widescreen.
The motion sickness is much worse, you have my sympathies there. I know someone who has such severe motionsickness when it comes to 3D games, he's essentially stuck to being a portable gamer.
Oh and he's left handed too. Doubly screwed ftl!
I'm honestly hoping for a homebrew/action replay/downloadable patch solution. Not that it'll happen.
I should stop derailing Zelda threads with this left handed thing. I should just make a thread.
Dragona Akehi said:
?I didnt know that there was that big of a problem for left-handed people... Where was the problem with the controller in Guitar Hero?
Besides that I am still hoping for an unlockable inverted World mode in Zelda. I dont know why... but if they had it that way why should they completely delete it?

Yeah but that thread would be derailed in due time.Dragona Akehi said:

but if the critics are to be believed, moving the remote to attack is "the same as a button press."
if that's true, then i must have been very disoriented for the past twenty-odd years pressing a button with my right hand and seeing link swing his sword with the left hand. i had a legitimate complaint and was completely unaware of it.

Maybe she has played the game already and just finds the controls to be a tad bit difficult to use---since she is left handed and all. And...I'm not even going to touch on how that was worded. Pressing A is much different than waggling. Liking change has little to do with anything. It seems that she would like the change, if it didn't mess her up
Dragona Akehi said:
Its not that bad that I cant play any 3D game. There are just some which I have problems with. I dont even know in which kind of games they are occuring and in which they arent. Latest example was Metroid Prime where I had no problems and then had to stop because of sickness in the "waterworld"
So my sympathies there for your friend, especially that he is also left-handed.
If its going on like this we can just go chatting in ICQ or something :lol

It might be high, but I doubt they'll want to give it a score that's impossible to top. Less an issue where decimals aren't present and 10/10 is more common.TheGreatMightyPoo said:
Is this disorientation more due to the on-screen Link using his right hand, or you being so used to right-handed controllers that using the remote/nunchuk combination in a left-handed way is still awkward? It seems (from this haven't-played righty, admittedly) that having the wrong hand showing on something like WiiSports Tennis or WiiSports Bowling would be more problematic than something like aiming an arrow, where it's really a distant target on a crosshair that you're aiming with.Dragona Akehi said:

Sadly it will be the only wii game that will be getting this kind of scores, you know it's true.

I thought Wind Waker had its fair share of nods to Miyazaki's stuff, although I chalked most of the similarities up to each game and movie drawing on similar lore.140.85 said:
it's different because pressing a button is not the same thing as doing a motion to simulate something, I mean it's weird to swing with your left hand and then seeing link using his right hand for that.beelzebozo said:
any way you slice it, Nintendo should've put a LH mode in the game no question about it.
try holding a remote with you left hand if you are right handed and start pointing with it. Im really sure you wouldnt feel as comfortable as you would with your right hand, it's a matter of coordination if you arent used to be using your weak hand for that kind of stuff I reckon it's going to be very hard to get used to stuff like that.
