Who else's find playing New Super Mario Bros. WIii with the Remote awkward

I don' t know if it is me or what but i really find playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii very awkward with the remote sideways. Specially after playing for an hour. I think the remote wasn't really made to play sideways since vertically it is ergonomic and fells great to the hands.

Of course it was made to also be used sideways. They knew it would be used for playing NES games. You can't create a controller that has the ergonomic feel you want holding it two different ways. It feels fine to me, I don't know if the game has classic controller support or not.

Holding the wiimote sideways is fine.

I jsut find the motions awkward

i bought this... it makes it more like a controller although hurts my finger on the backside :P

anyway i was cool with just the remote by itself..

I don't find it awkward at all, holding it like an NES controller feels like second nature to me.

If you dislike sideways Wii Remotes, then you're probably not gonna like the controls forMetroid: Other M.

I don't find them awkward for new super mario bros. but I do when Im playing brawl.

Not at all, you will get used to it

It can feel a little crammed at times, but overall it's fine. I don't really care for the holding of the 1 button and then shaking the controller to pick items up though. It's just tedious to me.

I love the controls for that game. Holding it on it's side feels fine to me.

Feels fine. Feels, well, like an NES pad.

Wii remote is less comfortable and a little more awkward than a good 2D game pad (like Megadrive/NES etc), the buttons are too small as well. But then turning it on it's side was only a secondary function. I find I prefer using the classic controller even for NES games etc, as it is better designed for the purpose.

Having said that, I didn't have any problems with NSMB with the wii remote, though I admit I'd have preferred it without the crowbarred in motion bits and if it had classic controller support instead.
