i dont see how you will be able to turn this on its side. one hint is that the "a" and "b" buttons arent labelled for side handling. the D-pad's direction are probably set up for it to be held like a remote, and also your hand would be blocking the infrared reciever and the controller wont work.

this was a dumb idea. why do i want to be wipping this thing around so i can get link to swing his sword? the one thing that may save this debacle is the analog D-pad attachment. i damn sure hope that comes with the controller cuz people are gonna think its bullshit to go spend another 20 bucks on something to make the controller seem normal.
