    I wonder if the rigid adherence to the gameplay is the result of attempting to force the Wiis gimmicky waggle controls on a button masher type game. Button mashers are fine if you're mashing buttons with minimal effort and getting the satisfaction out of cobbling your opponents. I can see that being far less enjoyable if you're waving your arms around like you're trying to desperately hitch a ride off the freeway.

      Oh it is. I don't know if Hyrule Warriors counts as a button masher, but I suppose it's close enough. If you choose to play that in co-op, with one player on a Wiimote, their auto-attack is swinging the Wiimote around. This gets rather annoying quickly as well as making combos rather difficult to time. You can still time them based on animation, but as you have such a weak sense of when you "pressed the button" for the previous part of the combo with the waving around it's still not a pleasant experience.

      So if you're playing Hyrule Warriors in local co-op, get Pro controllers or the adapter for the Game Cube controllers if you have some of those!
