The other day my 9 years old niece came to our house, it'd been a while since last time she came so I had not yet had a chance to let her try LBP.
Obviously after an hour or more of level playing she simply wanted more!
She loved the game, was laughing out loud, was hysterically shaking at some points: to sum up she was having fun, a lot of fun.
There was also only little problem, it was a bit hard for her to use the X and R1 buttons together not because she wasn't able but because her hands are quite small, you can imagine that.
So I wonder... why Sony and MS don't create a slightly smaller pad that can better fit kid's hands?
That would really make playing games more enjoyable for kids and perhaps even to some girls since I do have a couple of girl friends with very small hands, almost child-like.
Maybe such smaller pads could be bundled with games that specifically target children: something like the pokemon series or stuff like that (Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E and anything that is primary created for kids).
But to tell the truth they could even go a step further: while smaller pads for kids would be great some adults also have very large hands so creating 3 pad sizes would be perfect: standard, small and large.
I can understand maybe the additional sizes couldn't feature all the coloursdecorations available and so on (*irony on* well, not much of a problem at least in Europe as far as PS3 pad colours are concerned *irony off*) but still they would be a great feature to propose and show the public, wouldn't them?
