Will you use the A button to shoot or the B button?

Hmm, double posts? Could catch on...
Anywayz, onto the post. Probably with the B button as it feels more natural to me. But I will be testing both just to see. Just hope I don't out my shoulder out doing the Grapple Hook.

I wish the Wii could have came with a Metroid Demo like the DS did.

I was under the impression both buttons are required to shoot and that you can't choose one or the other. A was for the blaster, B for rockets. Are people assuming controlls are customisable? They weren't in MP and MP2 if I recall correctly.

How about nunchuck analog stick to shoot, B button to look up, c button to walk backwards, d pad to do other crap, + and - to strafe.. and that can be called the worst controls ever.

If I'm not mistaken, the A button is used to shoot and the B button is used for jumping...which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I believe that the control system in the demo used "A" to shoot

However, I would prefer the "B" button

B would be best. The A button is a little bit harder to reach

Do you really get to choose? I highly doubt it, Metroid isn't really a "customise your controls" type of game.

Judging by the previous games, I think that shoot will be mapped to the A button, why? Because if it is set to the B button it will feel more like a regular FPS, which it isn't. Plus, if the shooting mechanics are the same as the previous games, it will feel a lot better to spam attacks with a thumb rather than a trigger finger. 

1 press= 1 bullet. If you hold it down it charges, and I don't know about you guys but it's a lot easier to tap my thumb quickly than my trigger finger.

What is there a choice or something, I havent really been following Metroid even though its one of my most anticipated games due to the lack of news. Will you have a choice of which button you can use for the fire button. Because I would expect that it would be the B trigger like all other Wii shooters.

I agree 100%. It would seperate it from other FPS's, Making it feel more sci-fi and unconventional. A button for me. If it was a WWII game then B button.

 The best offense is a good defense. (Plus, there was nothing more annoying in MP2 than getting into the morph ball just as you were about to die, and speeding off to pick up health like no tommorow. Man I HATED that...)
