Sounds like you're a clueless n00b who doesn't know that you can fire with a button too. Actually, it sounds like you've never actually played it and you're just going off of what others have said.

After Selling 11 DSs' on ebay, and keeping 4 for myself... I feel bad for all you who have not tested it out, or played something other than the Metroid demo.

This little DS is quite the innovation.

lots of fun!

Umm.. Have you actually tried playing with DS? Well, I have and have to agree with NorthRiver that DS controls are awkward and extremely uncomfortable. The buttons are tiny and have a very unresponsive feel, directional pad should be replaced with an analog joystick.

Do your own research and learn to respect other people's opinions.

This must be some Shrek complaining again about how his hands are too big.

The demo has several options to change control styles.

Find your favorite.
Granted, it doesn't have EVERY option imaginable... but dood.. it has 5 (FIVE) different control schemes.

Sheesh.

Stop the hate.

I thought you use the thumb attachment to simulate the analog pad to look while the d-pad is the wasd and the shoulder buttons are the firing mechanisms.

From GameSpot: "The system will be backward compatible with the Game Boy Advance (and, therefore, with other, earlier Game Boy models). The GBA cartridges fit in a slot in the front of the system, and the DS cartridges fit in the back. The DS cartridges will be noticeably smaller than the GBA carts, and while we weren't able to see one, they were described as being roughly the same size as a standard SD media card used for devices such as Pocket PCs and digital cameras. The system will use a rechargeable battery that's estimated to last roughly 10 hours. In addition, the system includes a few extra perks such as a built-in headphone jack and a microphone input, which suggests that voice support of some kind will be in some games. The most impressive extra built into the system is its wireless connectivity, which is composed of Nintendo's own wireless technology as well as standard Wi-Fi."

From IGN: Nintendo's DS handheld, which features a unique dual-screen setup, one of which is touch sensitive, is set to launch in the US on November 21. The system will retail for approximately $150 and will come packed with a demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters.

3-paged IGN Review with photos here

Bad assumption... it does not play nething older than GBA (just because slot fits doesnt mean programming is there) however... with hacks and mods it mite be able to =o) since the slot is there...


JR

BTW arent these units going for $150?
