It's a touchscreen only game.

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

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

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.

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

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.
