OR

Pen mode: touch the screen to look, double tap to jump, d-pade to move, L to shoot.
Dual mode: d-pade to shoot, use the ABXYLR.
Touch Mode:Much like pen mode but with your thumb.

Nice!

 

[Memles]

D is Dual, P is Pen, what is T?

 

[Tritroid]

Awesome x 10

 

[Ristamar]

D is Dual, P is Pen, what is T?

I was wondering the same thing. DL = Dual Mode for Left-handers.

TL/TR? Hmm.... probably "Touch Mode" for shooting. One for righties, one for lefties.

EDIT: This is assuming the stylus is for movement in Pen Mode. I guess it may be the other way around.

 

[Ristamar]

Meh. Double post.

 

[neptunes]

good to see that they have left/right handed configurations.

and it appears that the demo will onloy have 3 levels, I hope there will be other demos to download.

Movie is up.

I hate the format. Just shows the goods Ninty.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Fucking hell, first the pics were too big, now they're giving us these crappy movies.

Looks good...maybe? Who knows!

 

[king zell]

looks cool

Samus I love you <3

 

[Christberg]

This is looking quite a lot better than I though it would be, actually. Can't wait to actually try it out.

14 Minute demo

14 Minute demo

He is a knob, but he's good at the game it seems.

 

[Tenguman]

he seems to be holding it ok. My guess is it's better if you got large hands

*ah he's using his right pinky to hold the right side

 

[Kon Tiki]

hmm Free look and full mouse control. NO AUTOLOCK.

In P mode, L is fire. Double tap is jump. You can jump and look/move at the same time.

 

[Soul4ger]

I'm sorry, but that video has me VERY enthused about this game! I'm happy to see they listened and went back to change the controls. Looks very good.

 

[Tenguman]

my only concern is that NST is making the game.....

single player may not be so hot, but maybe multi will be great

 

[neptunes]

I like how he controls the morph ball with the touch screen.

Though the game audio/music seems bleh.

 

[Tenguman]

Eh, looks like "single player" won't be a normal single player. more like little modes...think unreal tournament 2004 single player.

i guess it's all about multiplayer then. which is cool i guess

 

[Kon Tiki]

Actually makes me want a Quake/Doom/UT games for nds.

 

[aoi tsuki]

I like how he controls the morph ball with the touch screen.

My faavorite part as well. i was waiting for him to make a reference to Super Monkey Ball, or at least Marble Madness. i'm guessing he used the stylus for demonstration purposes. It would be much more natural using your finger.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Wow...After seeing this video I'm not too worried about the game's controls. It seems like it should work out pretty well. Anyway, much better than I expected.

 

[duderon]

I also liked the change in the control scheme. He made it look very easy to control samus.

 

[Mejilan]

Wow, that video is fantastic stuff!

 

[Soul4ger]

Wow, that video is fantastic stuff!

Yeah, there isn't a HINT of a framerate drop. Smooth as my ass.
