The Voidcast #4 – Controls, Too Many Choices

Welcome back to the the Voidcast! This month, I am going over what styles of controls were, are, and should be used for Zelda games. There’s plenty to go over, and current control options may not be the first to be recommended for future series entries.

Controls are one of, if not the most important part of a video game’s development. Personally, I think gameplay itself is the highest priority, but without good controls, that all goes out the window. Innovation is great and all, but I think hardware innovation may be Nintendo’s downfall if they go overboard with it. After all, simplicity is a developer’s friend in the way of control schemes.

What do you think should be done about the Wii U’s apparent failure of a control scheme, and what is the future of game controls? Leave a comment below!
