Okay, that's not what you were saying at first. Anyways, the padlet is pretty light, and I admit this is the "core" gamer setup, so I wouldn't expect kids to use it. But, the whole point of it feeling like a shield would require it to have some kind of weight. It weighs 1.1 pounds, which is just 3 times heavier than the wii-mote. As a secondary control input I think that's a reasonable weight. |
1.1 isn't light enough though. take your hand and hold it straight out with 0.0 pounds in your hand. you won't be able to do that for very long. mario kart's wii wheel was heavy too, a lot of people commented on it. but mario kart has an advantage .. a match lasts about 2-3 minutes and then you take a 1-2 minute break during results and track choosing. zelda, as is, doesn't have those small bite sized gaming chunks which is exactly why the weight would negatively impact gameplay. i suppose you could modify zelda's formula to accommodate but personally i think that would be a bad thing for the franchise.
