The gyro aiming takes a bit of getting used to, I don't know why they don't let you aim vertically with the right stick.

After the tutorial section there's options for that.

Did Namco's patent on loading screen minigames expire or is Nintendo gonna get patent trolled by them?

I have a feeling Namco's patent on that is less a force than developers not having time/money/motivation to put games within a game on their load screens (until NOW).

I got one game in before drat error codes popped up.
The roller is the weapon of choice, it looks like.
Game is fun, though. Had a blast. Letting the kiddo give it a shot now.

Well, Okami at least had the loading screen minigame removed in the Wii rerelease because Namco came after Capcom for it.

The point of it seems to be that the people with the guns target the people with the rollers but everyone decides to just run up and hug the melee-only guys instead.
