Featured this week are some things that used alternate control schemes before the Wii and SIXAXIS controllers claim to have changed the way we play games.  This one always got me funny looks as I was waving my Game Boy color around, delicately trying to keep Kirby on course.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble became lost in Nintendo's transition over to the GBA and was overlooked at the time.  People had been wondering when Kirby would return after the three stellar Game Boy games, and this late release surprised them a bit.  Despite the gimmick of the tilt sensor, it proves challenging enough to keep playing.  The game's online price has become quite affordable recently, so it's worth at least a quick play.
