[games_access] Nintendo one handed controller

[Pratt, James]

Personally, I really appreciate the use of haptic control. However, all
of the pictures and videos I've seen so far show a lot of ulnar
deviation. It will be Nintendo Wrist now instead of Nintendo Thumb. I'm
waiting for the ergo community to chime in.

You've probably all heard of the new Nintendo single handed controller
by 
now (see the IGDA forum otherwise):

Wondered if you have seen the following post from Carl Foust:


OGHC is a (very entertaining) blog about an old lady who loves games.
She 
expresses some doubts here about the ergonomics of the new controller
for 
people with arthritis:

Personally, I don't think it will be a big deal, since likely you will
be 
able to use it perfectly with slight wrist movements, instead of
swinging 
your arm around until it dislocates. Here's hoping you'll be able to
adjust 
the sensitivity.
