I expected this, but good to see it happened.

Yeah this is cool, I just bought the Mortal Kombat and you can play it with the GC, Classic, or Nunchuck & Wiimote combanations it's pretty cool, the classic is my perfered choice though. The is going to be awesome.

hehe still can play on my pink(GC) kirby controller^^

Nice. You get bored, and you can start playing with a new controller for a new experience. I would like to see how you would only use the Wiimote sideways. probably a lot of motion.

I'm guessing limited number of moves, but that also makes it easier and less overwhelming for n00bs to pick up and play. The ones who take it seriously will use their Wavebird or the VC controller.

I'm guessing playing with the wiimote will be quite a bit more difficult than with the GC-controller, especially at first. This might be a good thing actually, as it often occurs at a party/whatever that one player is way better than the others, and needs a more imaginative handicap than what Melee offered.

*snif* My digg submission was beaten by some jerk who posted his two minutes after mine, but apparently had more friends on the site. Oh well. =P 

What you have to remember is that smash bros only needs three buttons to play. "A" is the regular attacks, any direction and "B" is the special attacks and then you need a button to block "C" cause if you play Smash Bros. Melee you will find that you can jump with the up on the D-pad. On the Wiimote sideways (cause that's the fewest buttons) you have the "1" "2" "A" and "B" buttons more than enought to play smash bros. (Unless Final Smashes are a button by themselves.

A couple of years ago I heard a story that I don't know whether it is true or not ...

A group of friends liked to play Soul Calibur 2 on the Gamecube against eachother but one of the friends was far superior and easily defeated everyone. To make it fair they decided to force him to play with the Donkey Konga drums. Initially he was awful using it but he soon figured out how all the buttons were mapped and became nearly as good playing with the bongos as he was with a conventional controller ...

The Wii remote turned sideways and held like a regular controller only has two buttons that are realistically useable though, the 1 and 2 buttons. You're not going to hit A, B, +, -, or Home routinely when holding the Wii remote on it's side. If the bare minimum button map would require 3 buttons, then the Wii remote turned sideways will probably require one of the button presses mapped as a waggle motion, such as 1: Attack, 2: Sp Attack, Swing Wiimote downward: Block.
