The trick is making the controls simple, but the combos hard, if that makes any sense.

ya. i’m just saying they should have a few easy combos, then have the big stuff very hard. you know, have it a good balance.

but, yes, easy controls are also a huge thing.

mmhmm, like TP, controls couldn’t have been easier, but the game itself was harder than nipples on a blind lesbian in a fish market.

Aside from the fact that they will let you use standard controllers yeah that will make mortal kombat stink on the wii.

Yes it was.

But that’s not the point.

MK sucks now anyway. This may be a cool rent, but MKA was bad in the first place, I don’t see how this will make it better.

I prefer the days of the 2-D MK.

Actually, I prefer most Japanese fighting games. Give me Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, or Guilty Gear. At least the Japanese follow a very streamlined, easy method of fighting as 21 pointed out, rotating, and that would work a lot better for the Wii.

I may change my mind though, when I actually try out MKA for the Wii, but I doubt it because the game itself sucks.

If the game was so easy it wouldn’t get the praise it does.

Easy games don’t get GOTY

Apparently they do because I beat Mario Kart DS within a day without a problem.

Besides if gaming franchises are to evolve they need to take the next step in gaming, look at how many different games came to the DS for the touch srceen controls and the use of easy to monitor dual screens. Metroid Prime Hunters was a great solid shooter for the DS and it still has the best online for the handheld right now. Casltevania DOS proved that not every game needs to make use of the touch screen but it had the action on one screen and the map on another letting you keep on track easier. Zelda TP was the first next step of evolving the action adventure genre and it proved it well enough, Zelda TP was tied if not the best Zelda ever and that hands down makes it the new greatest game ever. Besides it is a harder game series then what most people would expect, with all the puzzles that need solving you need to check every last thing and try things in different ways to move on much like the puzzles in Half-Life 2. The wii with its new controller opened up and infinite amount of possiblies with every game genre out there. Every game genere has its great and bad games and with the wii you can expect to see many good games ultizing the wii-remote while there will also be the same with some bad ones. Most games for every system are good.

Twilight Princess’s puzzles aren’t hard, fun though, but that could be because I’m used to Zelda’s puzzles.

Yeah but most puzzles require you to think differently.

Because it’s fun, not because it’s 'hard'.

Some games aren’t supposed to be easy like Mortal Kombat. They made MKA easy and it got fucked up.
