I was fine with wanting to learn new controls and even said as much before launch. They're just kind of a hassle and the laser being inaccurate by default just kinda seals it.

You can get the hang of it yeah and I'm doing better then when I started but I'm still wishing I just had basic controls and they would of cut down on some of the more boring gimmicks like the gyro wing.

The laser isn't inaccurate, it's just the on screen reticle box ends at relatively close range, and doesn't represent where your shot ends at long range in 3d space. You gotta think of it more like the dots and arrows on a bowling lane.

But that's just IT it creates a situation where my perspective is very slightly, but very notably altered between screens. This means I have to use the lower screen for any accurate aiming that doesn't rely on lock on, and that means in one form of another taking my eyes off the other screen, affecting my ability not to go flying into things. I guess it's good that they do force you to utilize both screens and you use one for different things, but they could have really accomplished the same thing by, I dunno, having a little control panel screen at the bottom of the navigation bar that showed a targeting reticule that you could aim? I mean, I dunno. I really don't get what they were hoping to achieve here, but maybe the controls need to "click" for me still. I've never played two hours of a game and have every ounce of interest in the game drained out of me.

Been a bunch of mistranslations recently. The NX is not a new gaming platform with a brand new concept. It's a new gaming platform with a brand new Comcept. All games from this point forward will be developed by Keiji Inafune's company, and pitched on Kickstarter.

Coming up on 3 1/2, that's really short. Also no major exclusives for the platform this year other then maybe Zelda in the fall, but otherwise 11 out of 12 months of no interesting games.

If the reticle was further out then you'd be inaccurate at close range too. The only place depth prescription isn't an issue is first person. Still is easy to aim without looking down, you can just see where your shots are going and adjust your son based on your fire.

Except there's literally no reason to ever go back to Zoness once you do everything there is to do there, it's a boring as gently caress stage with or without the Arwing in a game that also includes good levels like Sector Omega and Corneria both times through. Thankfully the game outside of arcade mode is designed around just choosing to do whatever you want once you unlock all the stages.

The game needed like 1000 percent more of these levels, and they needed to also be longer. It's amazing how there's lots of good ideas in the game's level design, but the short length of the levels combined with the small number of them makes it so that we never get to see anything reach closer towards its full potential. They could have had the Salvadora fight preceded by an actual level akin to the Space Armada stage from the first game, but nope, it's just a single set-piece boss battle that is designed around a feature that has divided opinions on the game.
