one hand

Post by SpaceBooger »

Yesterday morning on the way to work I slipped on the ice/frost on my deck and broke my left hand. I am right handed but with the cast I cant hold a controller with my left hand. And I'm reduced back to hunting and pecking style of typing.

So what are some GOOD WiiWare games other than World of Goo, which I already have, are Wiimote point and click only that I can play with my right hand only until my cast comes off and I can use a D pad/analog stick again?

Oh, here is where my hand broke:

Damn, I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Unfortunately I don't follow the WiiWare stuff too much, so I don't really know.

Thanks, the injury is more annoying than anything - example: not being able to play games oe change my son's diaper... wait that last one is a good thing.

Well...maybe not for him...but that's ok, that's what the missus is for! Or, if she won't do it, the monkey butler.

Damnit! I knew there was something missing from her dowry when I married her, but couldnt quite figure out what it exactly was - the monkey butler.

Youch. Nice long break, there. They tell you how long before you can start using the hand for stuff?

four weeks and then I can use it if all goes well with the healing but I wont have full use (working out and such) for six weeks.
Thats why I need some one handed Wii games to play.
Right now the only ones I have are: Zac and Wiki and World of Goo... so WiiWare may be my best friend for a couple weeks.

I had a fracture once like that, except it was on my thumb. But fortunately enough of my thumb and forefinger protruded from the cast so I could still play SNES.

You could play the Strongbad games. Toki Tori too, but it's better with the Nunchuck. Also, they may not be Wiiare, but -

Sam and Max: Season One (has problems, but supposedly still fun - 20 USD)
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Trauma Center: New Blood (<--better)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
House of the Dead: Overkill
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
Metal Slug Anthology (will be annoying one-handed)
