Pretty impressive numbers there for the top games.  Looks like you thoroughly played the hell out of Kid Icarus.  I'll have to play it more but I can't really use the stylus since I suck with it in my right hand.  I started just using the xyba buttons to control the aim which isn't that bad but not as accurate (as someone using the stylus properly).  Hopefully, I'll get back into it in the next few months. 

Yeah the controls do take a while to get used to but when you do get the hang of it the game becomes amazing. Have you tried the circle pad pro attachment? Apprently that's better for left handed people.

Nope I haven't yet. I really want to finish the game but the controls kind of put me off.  I just suck at holding the stylus in my right hand.  I do everything else with my right hand except write.  I should be able to do it but oh well.  I could manage through the game using the xyba buttons to aim but the circle pad pro would probably be the best option for me.  Was funny that I played the Medusa level where you fight the 3 bosses again and for some reason I thought I beat the game....  it was just a long level.

I'm left-handed and I find the stylus really uncomfortable.  But I've got no problem just using my right thumb directly on the touchscreen.  Obscuring the view doesn't seem like much of a problem, although sometimes I can't swipe fast enough with that joint.  A while back I think someone here mentioned that the thumb stylus that came with the DS phat works really great for this setup.

Ah that sounds like a neat work around.  I never thought about trying that.  I'll try it out and let you know how it is.  I will also look into those thumb stylus (I used to have one since I had an original DS a long time ago but I never really used it; I'll have to look for it).

It is Farming Simulator 3D isn't it?


Joking, right?  There's not even a farming simulator 3D demo (if there's even one to begin with).  The only reason I don't want to disclose it is because for any demo 20 hours is a lot.

You know what sucks? The feature for a "rich text reply" that automatically numbers stuff for you. It doesn't work. It looks right in the preview and appears as bullet points when you post.

I'm probably the only person on this planet who has bought two 3DS games but not (yet) the system.

I have not bought one. The original has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I am waiting.

If it left a bad taste in your mouth the only way to get that out is to try the XL.
