You guys may have noticed that last week, I was especially interested in how you felt about accessibility. I worried about Nintendo's potential to damage the medium by over-doing boundary-busting, and I polled you on how ready you were to ditch button-mashing for gesture-based gaming.
There's been a method to my madness, and this is it. My feature at Kotaku this month picks some of the industry's great brains to make the assertion that there is plenty of value left -- culturally, emotionally and simply in terms of gameplay -- in the hand-held, button-equipped controller.
There are a lot of things I don't want to let go of. Read the feature and let me know what you think.
