I find it curious that I’ve never seen a video of someone controlling their DS/3DS touchscreen with just a finger.
I’ve used touchscreens on mobile devices even before the DS was out, and I almost never use the stylus, just my fingernail.
Recently I’ve been on a binge of trying out DS shooters that control the aiming via touchscreen, and just using my thumb I can hold the handheld like a normal console controller, with aiming similar to having a right thumbstick. Can’t imagine fiddling with a stylus to aim, ew.
And no I don’t have long fingernails, just completely normal human ones. I’m also not worried about damaging the screen - if anything, fingernails are softer than hard plastic.
Am I really the only one?
Made a poll in the comments, please vote by upvoting, I’m curious.
What is wrong with it?
Its just unprecise and annoying. For 1, 2 taps yeah maybe, but for more I don’t know why you wouldn’t use the stylus
🤷♂️ what can I say… If it offends you that much, use a stylus, I can be just as precise with my finger. I see no reason to fiddle with the stylus and hold the 3ds in some weird way instead of like a gaming device.
