Name a game with more imprecise controls than TWEWY

Switch version is borderline unplayable, it should have never been released. The DS version is fantastic for precision.
My first experience with TWEWY was the Switch version.
I have never beaten TWEWY.

Touchscreen TWEWY controls perfectly.
Maybe too perfectly because it feels unbalanced as fuck in your favor. I think by the Switch remake they realized that because extra scenario boils down to you Bullet Hell-ing everything.

can't defend pointer controls though.
The DS version has awful controls too for single player but no one is ready to hear that.

Eh, I've always had troubles with some imputs which would clash with others, even in the DS version.
You take that back! Pointer controls are a blessing for shooting mechanics.
Honestly? I've been playing TWEWY Final Remix in handheld mode and it's my favourite version of the game.
There are games with FAR more imprecise controls out there.

You could spend ten minutes on itch.io or any given flash game site and find plenty that control worse.
If 80% of your inputs are failing on the touch mode then it's really on you. Are you sure you're using your pins correctly?

I said the tapping ones, they fail way more than others.
And yes, I am.
DS TWEWY is good for Co-Op but in single player its kind of a mess.
Though I'm clearly the minority on that.
Tbh I assumed you were talking pointer because you're one of the few I've seen say the touchscreen was imprecise.
When it comes to handheld mode TWEWY the usual criticism I hear is the opposite, that it's /too/ precise and the game was clearly not well balanced around it and makes it too easy.
I'd say that TWEWY DS, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Metroid Prime Hunters are probably some of my favorite to control games - but considering I actually liked the MH claw on PSP, I'm definitely a cryptid or something.
Concerning controls on the OG DS TWEWY, if you are having trouble you might need to pay more attention to the order of our pins. Pin activation is prioritized by the order in which you slot them and some pins have the same touch activation or very similar. You can also use the 'sub' pin feature to make switching between pins easier.
I own TWEWY on DS, but never got round to it. I bought the Switch version because I heard it had extra content.
It really is awful to control, isn't it.
So now I'm kinda stuck in limbo with this game. I can play the DS copy on my 3DS, but then I feel like I'm missing out on a more complete experience :/

I can confirm this is the same on Switch in handheld. If you want one tap effect prioritised over another it needs to be "higher up" on your pin deck.
None of you know what imprecise controls are until you play either Major Minor's Majestic March or Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor
TWEWY on Switch is entirely playable. There are speedruns of people using both joy cons by themselves with few mistakes. And portable mode is completely fine if you arrange your pins correctly, minimize motion overlap and preferably use a nice stylus with the touch screen sensitivity turned to the stylus setting.

Twewy is one of my GOAT. I couldn't make it past seven days on the switch. I hate it and that depresses me.
I was shocked upon replaying TWEWY for the first time in a decade that the pacing was much different than I remembered.
So many major story Beats happen in Week One that I remembered as being much more pivotal and happening slightly later. Not a bad thing, in fact it's a great thing.
What I wouldn't give for any future Nomura produced/directed game to have the tight pacing of TWEWY.

You really should go back and play TWEWY on the DS. It was obviously designed with that system and its unique aspects in mind and it plays beautifully on that hardware. I'm really not surprised to find out the controls haven't really converted well to consoles without the dual screen
On topic, Metroid Prime Hunters, also on DS incidentally, gave me some serious hand cramps, so that's probably the worst controlling game I can think of off the top of my head

Metroid Prime Hunters or Starfox Comman...
...Actually nevermind, this wins.
