Commenter BrawlKarter subjected his left thumb to the real-world sport of basketball, resulting in a strain that leaves him effectively thumbless for weeks. What games can he play without his favorite digit?
I need some help fellow Kotaku community members. Sprained my left thumb playing basketball yesterday while saving a loose ball and am in a splint for the next two to four weeks.
As a gamer, this puts me in a pretty messed up situation as the vast majority of games require the use of your left thumb for movement.
So I am asking you the awesome members of this community to help me find games that can be played using the right analog stick on controllers.
I currently have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii (thinking of getting a Wii Zapper) and 3DS as well as several old-school systems (I have a steering wheel for Dreamcast, time for some Daytona USA!).
Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
