As a gameplay programmer, I got anxiety from reading this (and I think the animators are already in a fetal position on the floor)

Would it be possible to just mirror what the player is seeing so literally everything is backwards? Like a visual effect 'in-post'? Obviously that would mess with any printed text but other than I cant think of big issue?

That’s basically what they did for Legend of Zelda:Twilight princess. GameCube version Link was left handed, Wii version he was right handed. Looking at game guide sites was kind of comical. They basically said we’re not rewriting our guide for Wii…just flip the directions. If the guide says go left…go right for Wii.
