I don't like how the game requires you to take your hand off the buttons or slide pad in order to tap the touch screen.
general "I don't like touch screen controls" comment from viper
I realize that there are less buttons on the 3DS, but perhaps the D-pad could have been used as a pause button?
It's unused for anything else (as far as I can see ) so it's not too far fetched to set D-pad Up to pause/menu/, etc.
Two things I would like to point out about the controls:
A
ust because you are completely forced to take your thumbs off the buttons or circle pad doesn't make the touch controls shit.Lets be honest, the I and II buttons on the touchscreen can be used as item holders if you need to use things like the iron boots or lens of truth, and you don't even need to use the X and Y items on the touch screen since you use the actual buttons for those items assigned. Things like view and navi are completely understandable, I mean for the most part it's not like you will need them for 100% of the game.
B: if the d-pad was going to be used for anything then it should be for controlling the camera. That is all.
