Update: ‘Mushroom Men’ Features Multiple Control Schemes, Makes Me Happy

Mushroom MenOne of the reasons I struggled with my short hands-on demo with “Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi” was an awkward control scheme.

I was forced to use the stylus for certain actions and the A/B/X/Y buttons for others. Switching between the two made holding the DS a little awkward.

That won’t be an issue next time I play it, though. No one told me there were multiple control schemes available in “Mushroom Men,” one of which is completely stylus based (just as I’d hoped!). The title’s public relations team recently relayed these details to me.

[Update: We've since been told the controls are a work in progress. Rest assured, however, there will be multiple configurations available, including one that's entirely stylus-based, when the game is released later this year.]
