phantom hourglass question.

[meepo]

i havent really been following this game at all i just know that im gonna get it.
I have a question though, do you have to use the stylus or can you use the buttons. i dont want to have to use the stylus.:link:

[SKTTR]

It's a touchscreen only game.

The buttons have no functions (except START for pause) as far as I know.

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? that sucks you cant even talk to people with a or walk with the + thingy? I can understand using soards and weapons but please not walking with styless i hate that.

How do you really know without having tried the game? You don't.

[SKTTR]

thats just what i have heard about the japanese version
sorry. no 100% guarantee

I'm pretty sure it's completely touch-screen controls. There has been no indication otherwise from the Japanese version or the previews of the English language title.

[Shortay]

It definitely is touch-screen movement, and you attack enemies by touching them with the stylus. ONM said so anyway, and that it works brilliantly.

No button options?! :|

Well, unless button controls are comfirmed, that's coming off my list then. The Wind Waker never matched up to the other Zelda games anyway...

ONM may say it's brilliant, as well as many other reviewers/magazines, but I really am a button person with most types of games.

I know what you mean, e.g. with Super Mario 64 DS, but if it gets brilliant reviews and if the controld work well I'll definitely get it :D

The controls will certainly be better than the SM64 controls, but I still wouldn't like them compared to button contols, no matter how well they turn out.
Take D/P for example, I only ever use the Touch Screen if I absolutely must. With battles I always use the buttons, I just can't enjoy it as much with Touch Screen. :?

[Pegasus]

So you bought a DS so you wouldn't have to use the touch screen? Interesting.

Frankly, I can very well imagine that pure touch-screen controls (tsc) may work better than buttons for this game. Sure, there have been games where tsc may not have worked that well for me, but that's because they were taking the place of a missing analog stick. In this case it is a rather classic design with very probably more precise controls.

There's some games I like useing the touch screan for ( animal crossing wiled world) and some I dont (super mario 64 DS) and some I would prefer to have more touch screan controlls. (mario and luigi partners in time, and yoshis island DS) I forgot where I was going with that so I'll just say this. Phamtom hourglass looks great and I think it's a must buy touch screan or not. It kinda looks like an old zelda game, combined with wind waker. But anyways if the controlls are all useing the styles the controlls are obviously going to be good, I mean it's a zelda game they never let us down with that kind of stuff. The only thing that bothers me is that you can only use one weopon at a time (i think) I saw the screan shot for it and it was like an old zelda game where you would have that box in the corner of the screan and your weapon would be in it. I just always found it anoying to always be changeing my weapon, but whatever. Wind waker was my first zelda game and I loved it so I know I'll like this one. But You kinda just knew there would be another wind waker, because if you rmember at the end of the game, (DONT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE END OF THE GAME!! unless you dont care it's not much anyways) Link and zelda would go off in to the sea and it just ends like that. (I didn't explain it to good) And that's where phantom hourglass starts.
