:D, I think they just want to have their own mode, while not loosing any functions.
However, let's just ignore the whole control scheme thing. Whenever I walk into a game store, I often watch people playing the demo games. When I watch them play Metroid, I notice first they are confused by the layout, but eventually (right about the time they figure out they can morph into a ball, or when they learn they can charge the gun), they really get into it. Then, it resets, and they leave in frustration :D. This is assuming the control sticks haven't loosened to the point where you can only run left, because the GCN controller's stick is no match for the wrath of store display life.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
