Nintendo, Give Me A Third Arm!!
DR Mexico | 12:58 PM on 01.18.2008 6 comments


I own an R4 for my DS and, as such, I own over 800 NDS roms.
This has allowed me to sample almost every game that Nintendo has released for their little money printer.

Being able to play so many games in such a short time means that I have been able to spot certain 'trends' in some of these games.
The most annoying, for me, is the control system whereby I control the game character with the D-pad and buttons whilst also having to poke stuff on the touch screen.

In fact, this has pissed me off so much that I decided to write to the Nintendo UK customer services/general enquiries department.

The e-mail I sent is pretty long so, to prevent people from yelling "LONG POST IS LONG!!!!" or "OMGZ WALL OF TEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111" you can go read it here.

I want a reply from Nintendo, but I don't expect one.
I'll keep you updated on the progress and, if they do reply, it could really mean big things for me and Nintendo

Any Questions?

None of those games listed in your e-mail that require a third arm are actually worth playing (with the exception of Super Princess Peach), so I say STFU!

And, yes, I understand that I just said that New Super Mario Bros. is not worth playing. It isn't, just play a good game like SMB3, Yoshi's Island or SMW instead of that tripe.

you realise you can use your fingers right? the stylus isnt special..
Variable Gear's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, it's not like you have an erupting burning finger that would ruin the touch screen.

Also, did you get a tin-foil hat for Christmas?
DR Mexico's Destructoid Blog
i don't use my fingers because my fingers are extremely pointy. so pointy, in fact, that i have already ruined 84 DS consoles by simply stroking the silky touch screen.
that, is why.
h3lios's Destructoid Blog
LOL. Good luck getting a response. Loved your last line...

"P.S. I don't pirate any Nintendo games at all. They are so well priced that anyone can afford to own such amazing titles such as: The legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and many others"

Riiiiiite.
