Re: I broke down and bought a DS
The games are so tiny!
I'm still getting used to the interface. My hand tends to cramp up using that tiny little stylus. Plus the system is heavier than the GBA and holding it with one hand can get tiring. You can lay it flat when playing Wario Ware, but you have to hold it with one hand when playing the Metroid demo as your other hand must be free to use the stylus.
It's neat to play with, but I'm disappointed in the lack of games which incorporate the touch screen. Mr. Driller seems to work better with just the normal buttons.
It's fun drawing penises and vaginas with pictochat but it will be a miracle if I find someone I can send them to. I'm somewhat isolated as a gamer with the people I associate with.
The touchscreen gets smudged easily so I'm constantly having to wipe it. The volume control really needs to be a dial as the little slider is too imprecise.
