MODERATORS
Except when they want to port the game from GameCube to Wii, so rather than modify the game, they just mirror the entire game to make everything gay so the motion controls can be straight.
I was so ticked when they changed him to be right handed just “because that’s what most people are”
I played Twilight Princess on Wii and GameCube, and it was pretty fucking cool to feel like I was swinging the master sword. I probably would have just switched hands if they hadn't. It would have been an adjustment, but I would have gotten there.
But I can understand not wanting to create a barrier to entry.
Unless it's left-handed people. They can get fucked.
They can get fucked all the way to the settings menu where the option to mirror it back to lefty-mode is hiding
Wait, is that really a thing?
Unless I'm misremembering, yeah. I no longer have my Wii set up to check
Wii version was mirror / right hand only, it's the HD version on the Wii U that had the default as left-handed map and the Master Mode using the right-handed mirror map, IINM.
Seems crazy not to implement the option in the original. I'm not a game dev, but I imagine it's super simple to mirror the controls or whatever.
Just Nintendo being Nintendo I guess.
