[quote name='alongx']I'm really, really excited for Metroid: Hunted (thats what Nintendo's website called the DS game). However, I don't think I quite like/get the "shooting by tapping the stylus" thing. Just doesn't sound intuitive - you're effectively blocking part of the screen every time you shoot.
I'm going to hold off until the super deluxe ds comes out, or at least try to. i'm already really excited about this.[/quote]
I think you'll be using the stylus on the bottom screen to move, and then the action will be on the top screen. That should make it possible to see what's going on. It still might be difficult to see with your hand in the way though.
My problem (or question really) is, how is someone going to play an action game on this using a stylus? When playing a Game Boy, you're holding it with both hands and so you can have your thumbs free to press the D-pad and buttons. But if your using a stylus, you have to be holding it with only one hand. I don't think this would make it very easy to use the face buttons. Are you supposed to play with the DS sitting on a table or something? That seems awkward.
