Hmm. I don't know yet. Whatever else the wiimote was, it sure as hell made Zelda a lot of fun to play because it felt like you were swinging Link's sword. This is going back to the more standard control scheme, but with a 6" inventory palette built in.
Part of the attraction of the wiimote + nunchuck was that they were independent of each other, within the limitations of the cable that attached them. So you could kind of position your hands and forearms in whichever way was most comfortable to you. This is back to locking you into fixed hand positions. But hey, I don't have a problem with it on the PS3 so it's not really as big deal I guess. Just an observation.
I will need a lot more info before deciding whether to get this or not.
