Cripes, so many stuff I missed that didn't had their own threads...
About dual analog and AR controls... As Viper1 said, I was in the same situation when I tried a new controller layout to play. Bloody hell, I felt like dumb n00b playing GoldenEyeWii early on (especially online multiplayer, God I was the puppet marked for death), but now I can hold on my own. Same thing happened when I got GoldenEye for the N64. As well with holding an NES pad.
lol looking bad on those experience, I see why I always rooted for the underdog. XD
