How would a no stylus mode work? Auto aim? PsP style face buttons to aim?

I don't see why they added face button aiming controls, but no CPP aiming option.
I'm still thinking it may be a possibility. It seems new info is still coming in, Rich from IGN still doesn't seem to know all the options (or is at least still discovering things) so we'll have to see.

Sakurai didn't even know about the CPP until he saw it when Monster Hunter 3G was announced in that magazine. By that time, he was almost done with the game. Actually, that was like 1 week before we found out it was delayed again.
Judging by the control options video posted above, looks like there is only an option for face button movement so far.
E10+. Sounds like maybe they were referencing GoW? I haven't read it though.

That was the one thing making me not want this, honestly I might get a 3DS because between this, Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil: Revelations, etc it's hard to refuse.
As much as I want this game, it officially makes no sense to not have a dual analog mode using the CPP.
It smells a bit fishy to me, but then again I don't know what the dev cycle for this game was like or what the reasons for the delay were either.
Looks like the video also shows a mode where you control the character and the aim both with the circle pad and the R button somehow. Not sure if there's a way to use CP and ABXY or not.
Holy fucking shit. That explains why the music we've heard so far sounds so godlike.
Not unexpected, but... good god!
Oh shit I've heard of all of them.
Sakurai pullin out dem big guns for this holy shit. It's like they want this game to become a new dependable franchise or something.
They're all returning composers from Super Smash Bros. Brawl! lol

Interesting... and if I'm not mistaken, all five were brought in for Brawl, too.

Wow, Rich says the single player alone is ~12 hours long. I thought for sure it would be more like a 4-5 hour romp, with a strong emphasis on replaying at different difficulties and such.
Very impressive. This game is going to be a huge timesink in a month already filled with timesinks.

Has there been any more information on how online play will work?
What I've heard so far:
no Mario Kart-like communities
the game will fill in dropped players with AI unless the host drops, which stops the game
you can play solely with AI
either free for all or teams, multiple stages
the whole choice of weapon determines how much health you lose (rating of weapon, rather)
What I'm curious about is how they'll handle lobbies in between games. Do you remain with the people you've just played, can you invite friends to a "public" lobby, join friends games in progress, vote on next level, etc.
Also wondering if there's any online ranking system, and will it try to pair you with other players of same skill level?
Looking forward to more in-depth info on the subject coming in soon!

Think there was mention of a Join friend option. IIRC it was confirmed you could even do it from the 3DS Home Friend screen.
I'd imagine you join a match and carry over with people who don't drop. Just like Mario Kart, except without communities.
Hahaha..4 pages, over 300 replies.
Is the OT going to be updated in the main post; or a separate one will be created?

Still there, at least on Gamestop. Knowing Gamestop; they'll continue with preorders since the codes will be printed on the receipt.
EDIT:
Good to know.

I had to ask this question...
Anyone know how long this game is going to be not counting multiplayer?

Yeah, I just checked and GS and Amazon are both still offering it. When I checked Amazon's page yesterday the preorder bonus wasn't listed for some reason... maybe because this time I clicked in from Google. Thanks.
Now that I know the main story will be fairly lengthy and you can play multiplayer with just AI I'm much more confident preordering this.

Someone from IGN said about 15 hours for a single playthrough , and the game is supposed to be very repayable.
My theory is Sakurai relented simply to shut up the whiners. I'm positive once people have actually played the game, they'll all realize stylus is the better way. The only way.
