      If they're done well and don't require extremely precise movements then I will have no problem with the touch screen actions.

            I own a Wii. I love the motion system. And using the hardware how it was made to be used is like complaining about 360 or PS3 games using analog sticks and buttons.

        I don't know how the rest of the gameplay works, but I have trouble switching between using the D-Pad + A/B buttons and the Pen. You have to pulll the pen out of the slot only to have to put it back in. So hopefully they minimize how often you have to do that.

      so basically you want it to be a game made for the DS, but you don't want it to use any touchscreen mechanics... what is wrong with you?
