Also, what's up with the box? It seems they didn't bother designing the box at all. The manuals are bare minimum. Whatever happen to the usual booklet with nice arts?
And the holes inside the box...

It's like they didn't even try with the packaging.


I think it's Nintendo's new philosophy of getting the game to teach you all you need and not use an instruction manual. It's a shame in a way, the manuals supplied with Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World really lifted the excitement for me with the game on the car ride home...

I hate that the buttons are so hard and stiff.

On a side note about this, a friend and I have been discussing alternate ways for control on a handheld while retaining such things as analogue. The touch pad was okay, but what irked me was the lack of a notable "zero point" without directly looking at it. Then I figured, what if there was a touchscreen that was circular, concave, and big enough to just use your thumb in? Solid state controller?

Sort of like the old Turbo Touch 360 controllers for the Nes?  I like it!

Yeah sort of, but instead of it being flat and digital response, make it logarithmic concave so by touch, your thumb has a bit of an idea of where it's centered.
