How playable is Kid Icarus: Uprising when you're left-handed?

I've wanted this game since before it even came out. I was always the one who would say "when is this game coming out? It looks AMAZING!". But I've always hesitated about it a little. Now I'm getting closer to getting it but need to know how playable is it WITHOUT a Circle Pad Pro? I really don't want to buy one of those just to enjoy one game. 

Thanks, Bruno. I think I'm gonna get it.

My brother is a lefty and he couldnt get into the game at all, the lefty controls at least.

im right handed and i still didnt like the controls...

the flying sections were fine....but once you get on the ground i had trouble...first with the camera...but i am not buying cpp for 1 game...the other problem was the dashing...you just touch the analog stick to move and you automatically dash..thats dumb.

controls aside i also had other issues with the game...but i'll stop here.

I'm pretty sure it allows you to switch the controls to left handed.

Pretty playable. I'm left handed myself and it's not liek you are trying to carefully write or draw anything, you're just aiming and to be honest you don't need tremendous accuracy in this game.

The only awkwardness would be aiming around yourself in the land sections, but I think that's a general hiccup with everyone

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"][QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] i have to wonder if all those people that have trouble aiming in KI don't have trouble playing PC shooters. it's the exact same control scheme, far better than dual analogs IMO.BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] It's definitely not the exact same control scheme. Using a mouse is nothing like using the touch screen to aim.Toxic-Seahorse

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"]

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] what's the difference? you drag the stylus through the touch screen just like you'd drag a mouse. it's the same concept. the stylus is the mouse and the screen is the mouse pad.BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] No it's not, your hand rests on the mouse. You have to hold the stylus to the screen. That's a pretty big difference when it comes to comfort. That and the way you hold each is completely different. Your whoel hands rests on the mouse where as you have to pinch your fingers together to hold the stylus. Not to mention that a lot of the important buttons are mapped to your mouse where as the stylus has no buttons. Shooting is very awkward using the stylus.

you listed comfort, and having to use the shoulder button to shoot, and those sound like complaints, which weren't a problem to me.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] i haven't had any of the issues you brought up, so i stick to my comment of "it's just like playing with a mouse".BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] I didn't list any issues aside from the shooting being awkward, I just explained how they're different. They aren't issue, they're facts on how each control scheme is used and why they're fundamentally different. They're not even close to the same thing and you lying to yourself doesn't make that any less true.

you only need the stylus on the touch screen when you want to move the camera.BrunoBRS

Wait, what?

I am pretty sure you need to use the stylus in combat as well to aim your shots, an thus hit those moving targets.
