they aren't discriminating aginst u either lol!! people 2 day....
Who knows, same deal with Scarface, you can't reconfigure the controls (Not sure about other games), I'd much rather have simple options like that, it would definitely make the Wii Zapper easier/ more comfortable to use.

I'm left handed, and I play all my games right handed. Just try it, you get used to it.

I can even write with my right hand, but it's just uncomfortable. And it's also extremely uncomfortable to use the standard right-handed controls method(well, maybe not extremely, but anyway). I hate developers who doesn't think about this issue.
However, I can't remember the game in mario&sonic olympics where it is important like it was in Godfather and RRR, which both doesn't have settings.

I'm ambisinister, but my Mother-In-Law, who is left handed, says to stop whining and play the game.

Lets be honest. Everything in our society is optomized for Right-Handed people. Computer keyboards, standard computer setup and layout, Gear controls in cars, Radio controls in cars, Refridgerator doors, can-openers, Spiral Notebooks, All Desks in all schools everywhere, and heck, even elevators.

It's a bit funny that Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is your breaking point.

wow i didnt know there were so many lefties out there. im also proud to say im one of them. for me the controls are fine but its kinda annoying that how in metroid prime and moh2, ur guy is holding your gun in their right hand. they should have a left hand configuration for that.

There isn't, it's just that the whole population of lefties is registered at WiiChat

It's definitely "Ugh."

Anyway, I don't see what the problem is for left handed people playing Wii games. Either play with your right hand or ignore the fact that your character is holding the racquet/paddle/gun with the opposite hand.

That sucks about can openers, though. Man.

Interesting. I'm left handed also, but it hasn't cauzed me extreme difficulty like is has you, but I do have problems with the wii controles in some games, particularly Mario Galaxy. I have to constantly switch hands in it to control certain parts.

That is so true, this is a right handed world and we lefties have to adapt. I don't like it any better than you do...

-1. it's more like 65 or 70% of people, maybe 75%.
-2. it seems you really don't know what your talking about. Just play RE4 or SSX blur or Wii sports without changing left hand right hand settings, just switch Wii remote and Nunchuk in your hands and see how you do and see how you do.

And if you have noticed, quite a few posters are left-handed.

It's spelt "Ugh". I thought it was an acronym (right word to use?) since it was capitalised and I didn't know what it meant. :/

Wow, that's probably the biggest collection of frea... left handed people I've ever heard of. Well outside of a DEVIL WORSHIPERS convention that is!

That is not good enough.

It wouldn't go down very well if you said that 90% of the population of America is white so everyone should just forget the other 10% exist. They'll get over it.

Those games mentioned aren't the only one with this problem. Rockstar Table Tennis also doesn't have this option. That truly is awful.
