Default Metroid Prime: Hunters

Anyone got it yet? Or is it just tomorrow.

I can't wait to see if the X axis in invertable.

It's alright, I haven't had much time to really sit down with it but I plan to put an hour or so in before bed. I'll give my impressions then, but some of you will probably have picked it up at that point.

It's changed a lot since the demo.

And yeah, they're both coming out today.

I got mine on Tuesday.

Aiming is a pain in the neck. That's for sure. I'm using the right-hand dual control, where you use the lettered buttons to aim. Using the touch screen to aim is wicked inconvenient.

By the way, am I the only one who doesn't care for the wi-fi multiplayer feature?

The buttons to aim? The stylus can't be that bad.

I love the controls (it was a relief to be see the invert option) but I don't like that I have to have the DS down on something to be confortable.

I realize that aiming with the buttons isn't all that accurate. What's the best touch screen sensitivity level to set the game to, if I wanted to use the stylus or thumbstrap? Though personally, the idea of using the stylus is much better than using the thumbstrap.

Yeah, I like it. The biggest downfall is trying to use the stylus all the time without getting a cramp in your hand. Its fine when you're exploring, but once you get to the bosses, you might have to start taking a break in the middle of the fight...

It's true. I'm really hoping the DS light will solve the cramping/fatigue issues.
