Dear Madcatz,

  I'm happy to see that you are making some new remotes for the Wii; and that they are also implimenting wii motion plus build in as well.  Let's take a look at one....



Cool, "the Reactor Plus." Not bad not bad, however, there is one fatal flaw....
You see this...



Yeah, that is incredibly important. The idea of the offset buttons is a great idea, I understand it when looking at the vertical display of the remote. You can easily hit the '1' button because of it being off to the side a bit going with the natural feel of your thumb, but, when turned sideways it is completely un-useable. Lets look at any platformer you have ever played - you hold down the '1' button, and while doing so, you hit the '2' button will still holding the other down to jump. We have done it in so many games throughout that this just does not work. But, the offset buttons would work if switched around because then it works like a Super Nintendo pad or Playstation controller; but the way you have it set now, you would have to hold your right hand on the top of the controller with your thumb pointing down - and that's just weird.

I end by saying this - nobody has ever played a Mario game on the SNES by holding the 'B' button to run and hitting 'A' to jump.
