How are you going to play New Super Mario Bros. 2?

Found this on IGN and decided to ask people here.

Which controls will you use for movement? I'll use the Circle Pad, because while I prefer the D-Pad in side-scrollers, the D-Pad on the 3DS is so clunky and poorly placed it strains my hand. :lol:

D-Pad, of course.

D-pad.

Circle pad since the 3DS D-pad isn't tht great and the position isn't either.

Definitely the d-pad.

I alternate the controls all the time, but mostly for the d-pad.

Hmm... the IGN community thought totally differently. Here are the results for both:

I guess this means war :D

I find my thumb will gravitate naturally from circle to d-pad depending what works for the games. Either one feels pretty good. I played the original NSMB on my 3DS and I think used the circle pad.

imo....even gameboy and NES games play better with the circle pad...circle pad for me.

Based on my past experience with sidescrollers on 3DS, circle pad.

I would never imagine I'd say that before I got a 3DS. It's a combination of circle pad being surprisingly good for platformers and the d-pad is probably Nintendo's worst so far plus it's uncomfortable to use because of its location.

The D-pad of course, can't wait to give this game a try.

It's a side scroller. Of course I'm going to use the D pad.

Circle pad because it's more comfortably placed. I've also got used to using it with Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World 1 & 2, Kirby's Dreamland, Kirby's Adventure and Mega Man.Raiko101

I does not like touchscreen or face button to play any of marios games. I like to play L and R controles for plating Mario bros. 2 and it provide most comfortable and better gaming experience than any other gamign console.

Possibly Dpad but i got so used to the Circle pad that i use it on everything, Especially Pokemon White.

I mean seriously, have you guys tried Super Mario 64 DS with the circle pad? Especially if the last time you played it was on the DSi's crappy Dpad and no the dslites? IT FEELS GOOD DAMNIT
