Ninja Gaiden DS... completely stylus? uh...

So, currently I'm debating with myself if I should buy the Ninja Gaiden DS game when it comes out. The pre-game reviews say it's done well; but being completely stylus orientated, I still have my doubts. For some reason I imagine AC:Wild World chars replaced with ninjas lol.

What do you think on this coming title?

Though the stylus was great for puzzles in Zelda Phantom Hourglass, I often found myself wanting a more traditional (d-pad and button) approach to the combat. I fear that it may be the same for NG.Solid_Cobra

Stole the words right out of my mouth.

Wow... My words too! :o

Well Zelda was done really well for touch controls only. I dont find it a bad thing that this game will have them too.TalesofRaGnArOk

It was done well but I still think they should have had a d-pad option as well I would have enjoyed it better.

And the same will go for Ninja Gaiden, if you canuse the d-pad instead of always using the touch screen then awesome.

I think we shoudl get dangerous.

I dont see why they dont use the L button and the d-pad along with the stylus. Oh well it still works great to use all stylus many games have done it and done it well. I would just prefer a combination because it makes it more precise and fast paced.

Haven't seen any developer vids or the preview impressions have you? Buttons wouldn't work. The stylus controls are far better and people who have played both the xbox 360 and DS Ninja Gaiden games find the DS version far more responisve and they can pull off moves that they found next to impossible on the xbox 360 pad.

I said i would prefer the combination of buttons AND the stylus. I would much rather be multitasking with accurate and speedy attaks.

Think about it.....

Although this game looks great, I wont be getting it. I am not a fan of the book style of holding the DS. It just doesnt feel comfortable to me. I dont mind that the controls are mostly stylus but I couldnt stand holding the DS sideways.pikastar
