Topic: Metroid Hunters Goes Touchless

[Rize]

Hunters should control exactly like Prime.  How is that possible?  Easy.  Just map the analog stick (move/turn) to the d-pad and the z-button to the select button.  All other buttons would work the same (the 4 face buttons would jump, shoot, morph and missile).  So how do you select beams?  You just put the action on the upper screen, get rid of that silly map and use the touch screen for visor and beam selection.  It might not be great use of the second screen and touch capability, but then again, is a map a great use for a multiplayer death match?

is this game just a multiplayer shooter, or is it going to be an adventure game with an actual story adventure to go through like Prime?

There is a single player mode that we know next to nothing about.

Thanks, and good, but I think I'll wait until the game comes out just so I know what I am buying.

UniversalJuan, the NGPC thumb stick was a digital micro switch joystick, no analog at all.

[UniversalJuan]

Yes but the design let you think otherwise. And that's the beauty part. An actual analog stick made like that could be quite well for a handheld wanting/needing analog control.

Thank you Juan for mentioning that.... the PSP will have an analog stick as well so its possible... Nintendo will miss out if they dont add one IMO....

I know with pre-orders this is a valid statement, but it still strikes me as humorous

Two things:

1) I asked this question in the NOM UK interview.

2) I'd like to point out that this wasn't in response to complaints - the alternate control method was already in there before E3.

hey

the ds does have a way of using the toutch screen without the stylus. they have a little hand strap thats attached to the ds. it has a little plastic ball-like end that slips on your finger. it works very well. and your thumb can reach all parts of the touch screen.
