You’ve Got the Touch!

It sounds like there are many people who would like to play Portal 2 but are intimidated by the controller. Perhaps Portal 2 should be made for one of Nintendo’s consoles that allow for more accessible controls. Between the WiiRemotePlus and the touch screens for the 3DS and Wii U, more people may be able to experience that game for themselves, instead of being regulated to just watching others play.
