Nintendo did at some stuff

[A Black Falcon]

I think the main take away here is... wait you've got a web site?

It's only been linked in my sig for a couple of years now... :p It's just a blog, with stuff on it that I also post on forums. Almost nothing that's only there.

I've actually tried gyro controls on Star Fox 64 3D, and I gotta say I'm not a fan. Is it faster than a traditional analog stick? Yes, absolutely, but it's not nearly as accurate, and that's just not a trade-off I'm willing to make. I play Splatoon without the gyro controls as well, for example. What I'm really excited about is seeing the discarded ideas from Star Fox 2 make their debut at long last.

I've heard a lot of people online say that Splatoon controls better with gyro. I'm not sure, though, but I do of course hate dual-analog FPS controls, so almost anything else is better in my book!

For a flying game, though, an analog stick is likely best, but I'd have to try it myself (in the Wii U game) to be sure.
