Yeah...it doesn't sound that bad to me...it's like the Quick Chat systems in recent FPSs, where you bring up the chat system, and quick move your mouse towards one of usually 8 directional options. You just move it towards your option and click again, or sometimes just let go of the mouse button that you've been holding.
For Metroid...you just press the (-) button, and visor options will appear, I assume. Flick in the direction of the visor you want...it doesn't seem that tedious or complicated...just might take a few minutes to get used to.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
