thanks to spm i've been using the controller on it's side. it's not awfull. it just doesn't have that high level of comfort i've gotten use to with nintendo controllers.my preference would be that the wii remote was made to only be held virtically. and that they'd arrange the buttons to be perfect for that. and for games like spm, you would simply use the virtual controller. and then just grab the remote any time you needed motion sensing or a pointer. for spm, i would have liked it better if instead of pushing A to change dimensions, you pressed R. and instead of pushing 1 and 2 at the same time, you pressed either x or y.
yeah I can see how your hands would be a bit uncomfortable, especially when the directional buttons are small, and the 1 and 2 buttons are small and not 'concaved' like NES remote. I wonder if 3rd party vendors will create better Wii remotes to defeat that problem.
I dunno, i think it's pretty comfortable. maybe the fact that it's very light is helping that but as long as your not squeezing the hell out of the controller your hands should be fine.

Who would pay an extra $20 -30 for a controller to play a game ? That would make nintendo look bad. so they made it work for both verticle and horozontal...
I don't mind it too much, I just wish the buttons were a tad bit bigger, but that could be due in large to my ginormous hands. So far so good, the strap does get a little in the way, but I just slide it on my wrist and it is fine.

Take it off. BLASPHEMY!
To take the strap off makes the controller 2 times more comfortable.
i've been considering that. i think i'll give it a try.i must admit, it felt awkward at first to even play with the strap off of my wrist.but for a game like this. you just don't need it.
It feels fine on its side for me. I just got done with the pit of 100 trials in Super Paper Mario, died once when I got to level 100..., and then beat it again. That was 7 hours of me playing it with the wiimote on its side, and it felt greatz :D

that's pretty good. i had to stop at 40 my first run though. but i've leveled up a couple times since and have unlocked bowser. so i'm sure my next run through will be successful.
Yeah, i find holding it on the side uncomfortable, its too long and I havnt really used the primitive D-pad to control a character in a while, analog stick is much better imo. Lack of buttons is also irritating in SPM. I dont like pressing 1 and 2 to get into the menu, as it requires you to do this A LOT to change characters, faries or just use an item. If holding the wiimote the classic way had more buttons available im sure the game would be a lot more funner. For example, to change characters you would just hit the L or R bumpers on top of a normal controller.

oh, L or R for changing characters is genius. i'm going to be thinking about that every time i hit 1 and 2 and scroll down.

Only 2 times? I never knew you could quantify comfort, because to me it seems completely subjective. For example, there's a bunch of old ladies at church that always complain in the summer when they jack up the A/C. If we were to let them set the thermostat to 80 it would be unbearable to nearly everyone else, yet they would be completely comfortable. They're all nice old ladies, so you can't yell, "were you born on the sun? Put another shawl on, I can't take anything else off!"
DUDE you r a goofy one, why would they make this game virtual controller enabled when all they would have to do to fit your needs is simply make it nunchuk+wiimote, something everyone has at least one of without any extra purchase necessary, then you could hold the wiimote like a riimote and have a nice analog controll stick to walk about the place, then you also have very quick acces to c, z, a , b buttons with no discomfort to you.. actually it would have been awesome having a control scheme like that... but virtual cnotroller would have sucked.. I personally dont like the virtual controller and only got it because its more convenient then using a gamecube controller, but seriously im about to get me a wavebird because the virtual controller just doesnt feel right to me one bit whatsoever... I will keep the vc controller just for some games which may require it only..but other then that bad idea altogether...no offense only my opinion,
i like holding the wiimote sideways, i think it's a better NES controller than the NES controller was to start with. with regards to the classic controller, i like it for SNES and Genesis games, but hate it for being corded to the wiimote.

To take the strap off would be like... driving a car without a seatbelt.
so i tried it all last night after taking the strap completely off and i must admit, it was a lot more comforatable. the buttons still aren't ideal, but it was definitly very comforatable.

I agree. And I can't help but feel the functions of hitting 1 & 2 together could be mapped to a single button, after all...this is a GCN game. I was really hoping to be able to use a vc controller with this game. My biggest complaint is the tiny D-Pad that's too close to the A button for my man hands. I can't count how many times I flipped into 3D by accident.

yeah i took the strap off...if im stupid enought to let go off my controller while throwing it in the direction of my TV screen then my TV deserves to be broken...

This was a question of mine to a lot of people. I have heard mostly that people don't mind it. It sounds like it bothers you and I think it would bother me too. That is unfortunate for both of us.
I hate holding it sideways too. But Gamecrazy sells (for only $10) a controller "grip" that houses the wii-mote and makes it feel like a traditional sideways controller. It's a great design and it makes playing SPB much more enjoyable for me.
The wii remote is absolute pain if you're like me and got pretty big hands. Sometimes you'll press the 1 and 2 buttons unintentionally because they're so small.

yea, they are very small. and after having that perfect (in my opinion) set up on the gamecube controiller. i loved the bigger A button and the diagonal slant.
