I have heard that some people disliked the controls used for Kid Icarus Uprising, saying that they would of preferred using to circle pads instead and didn't like that it wasn't even an option.Nintendo has said that such a control method wouldn't work with the game but didn't go into why.
Well, I'm here to give you my thoughts on the matter.
When thinking about alternate control methods you have to incorporate everything you can do from the main method into it and make it work. The problem is I don't believe the touch screen controls would translate without modification to the game play. You see the touch screen does two important things at the same time, it not only aims your weapon but it also turns Pit, the faster and farther you slide the stylus on the touch screen make Pit turn much faster, this method is much faster then I see in other games. Since enemies can come from you at all sides you need to turn quickly at times and I do not believe a second circle pad would be fast enough, and even if they did make it fast enough it would make it harder to aim. Using the stylus I am able to turn towards the enemy and fire at them very easily allowing for a greater thrill.
In all I think the controls for Kid Icarus Uprising is the best choice allowing for less aiming time, and those who are saying they want a second circle pad to use instead would just end up making the game much more harder and end up just frustrated at it instead.
