Hm. Tomorrow I'll make a comparison with Black and White in the 3DS vs. the DS Lite. Gonna need to make that comparison for myself.

Well if it helps, Destructoid have already done something similar:

It's different for different people, but personally, if I had the option, I'd go for the DS in most cases. The only time this may change is with racing games, where the Analogue nub can be used to control far better than with the D-Pad on the normal DS

I don't see how that could be true - don't thhose g ames have digital, rather than analog, steering?

Yes, but they still go in 8 directions, just like the Analogue nub does.  Even using the bike on pokemon earlier allowed for much quicker movements and changes of direction, and after playing Mario Kart DS, I won every single race, despite not playing it for months, and not being very good at it.

The controls aren't as good as, say, Ridge Racer, but it's still better than the anarchic D-Pad controls at any rate. And it's much better than the PSP's analogue nub as well, for it allows your thumb to rest in the groove on it, as opposed to sliding off it all the time



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
