Right-click and all that crazy ness.(although these may be taken down)

Em, ye, I own it, how do you mean what is it like to play? asthetically, how does it feel, actual games, multiplayer?

kinkstr

Is it physically comfortable to use, and is having 2 screens an advantage of just a waste of liquid crystal, and how is the thumb tool, ive herd its gettin mixed reactions

Smellyirishman

Physically, I find it fine and so does my GF, but have heard complaints, although I have relativly large hands and my GF has small girly hands!

The two screens is great, it is not a problem comprehending what is going on in both, and it does add to the experience.(how many games do you play, where there is another window that you are constantly opening, well imagine it was always open and easily interacted with)

I actually used to not like using the touch screen for mario, then, just to test it I used the thumb strap, and it worked SO well, it felt really natural turning the character. However, the strap is about an inch or two too short (maybe just my hands)

kinkstr

Im sure some other company will bring out a different thumb strap, i wont be getting one right now as im in the process of building a new PC, with a bit of luck ill be able to pick one up cheap in 12 months time

Smellyirishman

12 months would be cool, you will have all the advanced wars and all that, and harvest moon, all the great games that are still a bit off.Also, multiplay will be a greater possibility at that stage too

Oh, and if you watch the kirby video, be aware that the guy playing, is possibly the worst gamer I have ever seen in my life. That game actually looks really cool and inovative, but he is just thick!!

Cannt get the first vid to play (source is listed as missing) but the mariowars one looks amazing. Cannt wait for 8 player Mario Kart goodness!

Euro gamer got a look at it recently http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=57719

Mr E

Kirby looks really good, but couldn't they have got someone with even a tiny bit of skill to demonstrate it?
