Look down at what exactly? If you read my last post, I wrote:
"[most Wii remote users] are going to leave the Gamepad closer to the TV or coffee table so we don't have to look as far away from the screen to see it"
I leave mine right below my TV so it's basically like extra screen real estate.
And again, I also wrote "[Wii remote users] have less buttons to begin with and would ordinarily have to press the awkwardly placed 2 button to open the scoreboard"
So if you're using regular controls it might be a simple button press, but the 2 button is not exactly the most ergonomic.
For regular controller users what's the advantage? I guess there's less of one, but surely you'll agree it beats the map? The map is already on the screen so it's just so redundant...
