IGN (http://wii.ign.com/articles/111/1110480p1.html) referred to the controls as "clunky" and stiff, while GamesRadar (http://www.gamesradar.com/wii/metroid-other-m/preview/metroid-other-m-starting-to-feel-like-a-team-ninja-game/a-2010080417473389025/g-20090602105555875007) claimed "the D-pad controls felt wrong for a 3D game." Basically, all my fears I have for this game's controls exist and then some.
QuoteMy demo was admittedly very short so I didn't get much of a chance to savor the moments, but I will say that the game, while visually strong, has a very "clunky" feel to it that hasn't gone away since my last hands-on. The game's been designed around the Wii remote exclusively, and while it's great to get a Metroid game that harkens back to the old-school NES and Super NES days, it's hard to ignore a lot of the stiffness of the game's control. Wall jumping didn't feel as fluid and natural in this game, for example. And while I can appreciate the Wii pointer control for first-person mode, it feels awkward to jump in and jump out constantly – not to mention that you can't move around while you're looking through Samus' visor -- only rotate from the spot that you were standing in when you jumped into first-person mode.
Wall jumping isn't fluid? I didn't expect that. Admittedly, I read very little from the previews because I want this game to be as much of a surprise as possible. It's an absolute shame the game was designed with the Wiimote sideways because it makes no sense playing a 3D Metroid game with NES styled controls for most of the game. When this game was first announced, I was so excited but ever since the control scheme was announced, my excitement for this game pretty much went away. The only reason I'm getting it is because it's a Metroid game for the Wii and that's it. I'm not even looking forward to playing it. The people who decided to make the game not use the Nunchuck can go fuck themselves with a broken pipe for ruining what could have been an amazing game. If none of the other games I'm looking forward to this fall are releasing before October 24, 2010, I'll probably be stuck playing this piece of shit on my birthday. Fucking wonderful. Fuck Team Ninja.

lmao oh WAC yer a star
It's a new Metroid game for the Wii. As a Wii owner who's a major fan of the series, it's mandatory I get it. i'm gay
Edit-
I'm not even going to edit the censor. I deserve it for that statement. <_<
WAC, first of all you should stop reading shitty publications like IGN and GamesRadar
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3180732 (http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3180732)
it controls like all the other 2d metroid games. when IGN says stiff what they mean is "not mario"
also stop making so many shitty posts where you quote something stupid and then go "their opinion is mine"
please stop asap
I just really hate the idea of using a d-pad for a 3D game. It just doesn't make any sense for the game to have that shitty ass control scheme. Would it work well for a 2D Metroid game? Probably very well. So while it plays much like the 2D Metroid games, that doesn't translate so flawlessly in a 3D adventure where gamers are used to precise analog controls that could have easily been implemented and made the game much easier to control. If they just gave me Nunchuck support, I would be excited as hell about this game. Instead, in typical Nintendo fashion, they're forcing their gimmicky control scheme down gamers throats instead of giving them more options.

I have all the right to be pessimistic. Because of the size of the d-pad, I hate playing the Wimote sideways even for 2D gaming. The idea of playing a 3D game on it just makes me want to rage. >_<

it's a 2d game
it's a 2d game
you realize it's a 2d game right
it's not a 3d adventure
it's a 2d game
Ugh. It's not a 2D game. Part of it is in a sidescroller perspective while part of it isn't. Haven't you watched any of the trailers?
W.A.C. it is a 2d game with 3d graphics except when it's in first person view and you're locked in place and aim with the pointer
don't tell me you actually think cg trailers are gameplay

I've only seen the first minute of this in an attempt to avoid spoilers, but seriously watch the first minute and tell me this is a 2D game.

AND stop reading easily hyped and easily bribed sites like IGN you stupid vapid little cunt jesus christ. Each time you post I'm shocked at how you fulfill every possible possible cliche of the casual internet retard. All you need is a god damn invader zim avatar, but you have Xombie so that's close enough.
in short, ride a boat of cocks off a waterfall of shit.

You watched the first minute of that video and still consider it a 2D game? How?

Uh, because of the limited range of movement, its not like your running around a 3D landscape like in Super Mario, its all tight set paths.
While the camera is fixed for 100% of the game and the exploration isn't as open ended like it is for games like Super Mario Galaxy, you're still moving around in a 3D environment for the game and therefore, it isn't 2D.
arguing semantics sure is productive and purposeful
wow W.A.C (WAck Ass Cracker) Sure postsa A Lot of gay bull shit That is dumb!!!! what a fucker asshole i dont care to see youre gay as text Fagot!!! Get the FUCK out of my site!!!
