I’m a little worried about being at a strong disadvantage on the Nintendo Revolution, being left-handed. Picture a high tech Duck Hunt, where you use the main controller as a gun and the nunchaku attachment containing ancillary controls needed to move your character. We’re all used to using control sticks in our left hands from twenty years of muscle memory. Presumably you’ll want to main hand the “gun”, which works great if you’re a rightie and can still use the other piece with your left hand, but if you want your “gun” in your left hand, you’ll have to retrain your hands. To me, the idea of holding a control stick in my right hand just seems dirty.

Did you ever play first person shooters on a PC with a mouse and keyboard? It’s the same principle, I think it might be easier than you think. But maybe not? who knows. I’m sure it’ll all work out.
