    Does anyone else think that it's odd that the right stick is above the buttons? Seems like it will be uncomfortable.

    I don't know if it will be uncomfortable as I haven't played it but I suspect it'll just take a little getting used. All it means is you move your thumb up instead of down when switching to camera control or aim.

    Everything shown so far is subject to change and I'm sure that controller has been road tested extensively.

    That was the first thing I thought. Also that controller is really big and if it's hella expensive how is it going to work for multiplayer games such as smash bros? Assuming it wont just let you use gamecube controllers for that, though it sounds as if cube controllers have been dropped. Classic controllers it is?

    The controler feels very comfortable actually.

    I doubt it. Games that utilize both sticks tend to stick with the shoulder buttons for the main commands. It won't be any worse than you having to reach from the right stick to the X-button (read: not a problem at all).
