Shooters on the 3DS may play something like this

I think some people are missing the point here. Yes, the 3DS has real buttons and a real thumbstick, so pay no attention to the virtual thumbstick and fire button.

Is that enuff for an FPS? Becaus I want to be able to play FPS games on the 3DS.

But I could never get used to do it by touching the screen on an iPhone to move and shoot. Stupid.

The rest of my post went on to explain one way you might use them to control an FPS, but you need to use a gyroscope for precise aiming.

Other than that, there are quite a few FPS games on the DS already using the stylus to aim, much like using a mouse. It's not like the iPhone, because the game is displayed on the top screen and the lower screen is used purely for interface. Some people love this scheme, but others (like me) find it a little too awkward. I suggest you try it for yourself before you decide whether stylus works for you or not.

But if my left hand is pressing the thumbstick and my right hand is busy holding the stylus to aim, how do I shoot?
