These controls have potential, but have yet to be done well.

These controls are great, but not enough good games are taking advantage of them.

Motion... Or touch?


What's your opinion on touch vs. motion control?

Personally, I like the gameplay possibilities the DS offers, but I was somewhat disappointed in the Wii's motion control, or at least the games that use them.

You can't make me choose between the two, but if I had to pick a better one, touch. More games are making good use of it, while the only people attracted to the Wii are uncreative people looking for a quick cash-in.

There ARE exceptions, but you get the idea.

While I still think that traditional control beats all, I think touch control CAN be used to the same potential, give or take. I mean, Cooking Mama to Phantom Hourglass, the possibilities are nigh-limitless. I mean, I was seriously blown away by how perfect PH's controls are. They use the touch screen, and the other DS features, to beyond their fullest extent.

Motion control is good for SOME games. Animal Crossing benefits a TON from it, and Super Mario Galaxy certainly uses it well, but above all else, I think it's best as, how do you say, as another button. You know, not as the FOCUS of the controls. It can't hold a full game - or at least, not yet. Touch controls can.

So, touch.

Touch, because it's more precise than the Wii controls... and because 75% of the Wii games suck!

'Not yet'. Wii MotionPlus will improve its accuracy then.

Yeah me too. MAYBE a DSi for my birthday or something. But I doubt it.

Eh, my phat still functions, so I don't know why I'd shell out the cash for a DSi. Just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I want a DSi because...well, you know.

I got a chance to test it recently. It looks sexy, and weighs a lot less than the phat. The menu looks great, the screens are a bajillion times brighter, the sound is crisper, and the cameras don't suck as much as I thought they would.

One thing I HATE about my DS is it makes this constant eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee noise if you're listening with headphones. So, whenever music stops for dramatic effect (etc) instead, I get "eeeeeeeeeeeeee" instead... Another phat I tried this with also did this. Do all phats make this sound?

Ouch...

The DSi's really only worth it if your Phat or Lite is broken, and you can no longer play it.

Nope, my phat works fine. Maybe it's your headphones that needs replacing.

That's weird. Maybe you do need a new DS.

Get a newer model.

It's not a big deal, just wondering if all phats did this because all the ones I've encountered do.
