I hope that girl just sucks at playing and that the control stick won't be an actual problem... Other than that, looks great.
Don't worry so much. The first hands-on demos are almost always played by someone who sucks at the game.
Part of it is certainly because it's a new game and they don't have practice, but they always seem to pick somebody inexperienced to demo it. I wonder if it's intentional, or it's just because the people demoing it are not primarily gamers? (Like for instance, this girl seems to be Press.)QUOTE(The Satellite @ Oct 26 2010, 02:14 PM)
Animations look smooth, the environment looks pretty... But what I'm most excited about? Gameplay that focuses on BUTTONS!! 8D
... Okay, that's an exaggeration somewhat, but seriously, I'm just a man who enjoys button-based gameplay. Not that other DS control schemes were all bad, but there's nothing wrong with using buttons. Which is why I'm more excited about this remake than quite a few things that have come out recently. But I'm impressed with the subscreen and how it's handled, as well. It looks great, and I can't wait for it to come out. Damn it, I'm even more impatient now than I was before for a 3DS.

What bothers me more than the lack of buttons is that developers seem to be intent on shoehorning all manner of games into the Wii motion controls regardless of whether they're a good fit or not. For instance, there are a number of games that are being ported to Wii or have had a simultaneous release on multiple systems, and for the Wii, the developers of those games are always like "welp, I guess we'd better use these things..." even when the game totally doesn't work with motion controls.
In particular I get tired of all the games that have 3rd person player characters and yet use motion controls (or the stylus on DS) instead of buttons. The stylus and Wiimote are better suited to games like Phoenix Wright and Trauma Center which are designed for tapping, gesturing, or drawing.
