I am left handed. Traditional game pads are perfectly fine. Motion controls feel natural too. However, if I play a motion control game that only requires a controller in one hand it is more likely that I will use my left hand.

For what it is worth, I am right footed. :P

OH GOD MY HANDS! They were cut off at birth to make me a better Spartan warrior! I never even got to masturbate with them!



loljk, but seriously, I'm right handed.

Lefty here :P A controller feels fine in my hand, but I recall that there was a game on Wii that the control scheme was where you had to hold the Wiimote w/ your right hand and I didn't play it much.

I'm left handed... for writing. I don't actually do any other activity with my left hand.

Lefty here, no no problem. Only problem will be the 3DS, cause there is no right circlepad (at least till the revision) so I can't play the circle pad + stylus games like right handers can. This wasn't an issue on the DS cause on left hander mode, you used the ABXY buttons as a D-pad.

I'm right handed but like the Wii remote in the left hand. Always been a rebel, trying new ways to play a game. In honesty, the remote is more centered to the sensor bar in the left hand. :lol:

Likewise it's probably because we're used to using our left hands for d-pads so it just makes sense that the bit with the d-pad on it goes in your left hand.

I am lefty and just play righty setup. Ive tried lefty and I can't do it. Some Wii games are exceptions, like wii sports I do almost everything lefty, but traditional game pads I use regular.
