Played on:
Nintendo 3DS (launch model)
Controls are not accommodating to my hand disability at all and that annoys me greatly. The presentation looks great but that creative decision Is astoundingly horrible and drags the whole game down. Unacceptable for one of gaming's lead auteurs.

Go into the settings and change the controls. I’m left handed and played it without the stylus.

I'm left handed too and that shit was aids. I respect Sakurai's ambition but it was just too much for the 3DS to handle.

UPDATE 12/02/21: Played this a bit on a Citra nightly build on a jerry-rigged setup where I used a laptop touchpad + my elbow and a Dualshock controller next to said touchpad for the touchscreen controls to make touchscreen stuff more in tune with the button controls. It works a bit better and I recommend it to anyone looking to play the game with a capable PC and game dumping hardware but seeing as that is not a solution intended or condoned by the original developer's I would not raise the original score over it.
