    Default Nintendo DSi - Dpad+Buttons

    Anyone know if the new DSi has had any changes in the control department? The DS Lite has the worst D-Pad and buttons ever (IMO). I hope they put in something even a little bit more firm...because the Lite is much too mushy all around.

    I havent heard anything about them changing the d-pad but with it being more thinner i think your gonna hate it even more but i would just wait and see since it comes out in Japan on November 1st theres probably gonna be videos of people showing it off.

    I have no problem with the DS Lite's buttons, other than the Select and Start being too small.

    Punctuation. It's your friend.

    I think the DS Lite pad is better than the Genesis. I'm probably in the minority though.

    Im just weird when it comes to good control I guess. I enjoy things like the original NES controller, the Sega Saturn controller, a proper arcade cab etc.. (BTW I have never held a Jaguar pad ) THe DS Lite just feels a little too sloppy...oh well, we'll just have to wait and see.

    No, punctuation just makes your post not sound like an 11 year old typed it.

    Anyway, back on topic, I never really had a problem with the D-Pad on the DS Lite so I'm not too worried about a change. Although, I would like to see the buttons get a face lift and get a little more 'clicky.'

    Agree. I've never had a problem with the DS, but the 360 is highly inaccurate.

    Try the new red 360 controllers - better D-pad!

    Hasn't been mentionned yet... but the SMS D-Pad has been linked to several hand related cancers.

    And yeah the gamecube controller is awful.

    lets tone that last one down a notch gamecube controller overall is pretty good two complaints horrible rocker style d-pad and that fucking z-button. other than that its comfy and easy to wear just like shorts. the l & r triggers rock with that recessed finger groove and the c stick beats the hell out of the c buttons.

    I've never held a Jaguar controller but the 360 controller is my least favorite ever. Most people talk about the horrible D-Pad but the other things I hate are the buttons A, B, X, and Y. They feel like something on an old 80s toy you'd find in GoodWill. Very stiff.

    I love the GameCube controller (except the D-Pad)...and the D-Pad and every button on the DSLite.

    I personally don't mind the ds lights controls, if i had to complain about anything on there it would be the shoulder buttons just because theyre rather square and utilitarian.

    contra 3 was clearly broken on the DS due to the inability to snap to, and maintain a diagonal.

    Nintendo, let your d-pad go! Hell, i know you willy wave your 'cross design' patent around, and yup, sure it's iconic - but listen to the people calling for change.. they aint on about a
    new president you know.

    listen, my friend(s) let me give you a little straight talk. The d pad is not broken the greed and corruption on game street is to blame here. what your going to wind up with is a rocker type directional control and that's not change we can believe in. I would know i was a prisoner of war and i have the callouses to prove it.
