You know, how the idiots couldn't be smart and flip the d-pad to the face buttons and give us a chance to play it with the touchscreen system alone and no need to use the other buttons as a means of control like how right handed people can easily do?

It is not that bad. I mean after so much time of living in a right handed world you sort of get used to it. I know where you're coming from and trust me i know how irksome it gets, but hey, theres nothing we can do about it. but yes i agree, it sucks that they do that.
 
My bf and I are both left handed, and we agree that it is interesting that this option was omitted. Its not the end of the world -- the buttons on the touch screen are large enough that you could hit them with your finger if you want to -- but the point does remain that a lot of DS titles do offer this as an option for those that want it. Choice is good. :)

Ha, me and my boyfriend are both left handed too. XD;;


But Yeah I agree with OP. We need to be considered too :p
 
Left handed people are sinners and devil worshipers.

Just kidding. I kinda want to try playing left handed so I can feel your pain.
 
I'd think it'd be more of a priority if the game could use NOTHING but the touch screen. It uses the buttons same as DPPt.
 
Stop complaining, I'm left handed and i've been playing right-handed guitar for years! Man up! :nono:

There is a big difference between a left-handed person playing a DS game right-handed and a left-handed person playing the guitar right-handed. I know.
 
We don't take too kindly to you "Lefters" or "Left-Handed People" round these parts. Best saddle up and keep on movin', if ya know what's good fer ya!

Death to the Lefters! All Hail the superior Right-handed Masters!
 
i think metroid prime hunters had a lefty flip like that.

im left handed and have never had a problem with the touchscreen on the ds
 
I'm left-handed as well, and I'm used to alternating between my left thumb on the d-pad and left hand holding the stylus for this game. (I've been playing it a while since I've had an imported Heart Gold for a few months.) It's a little inconvenient, but I still prefer it to using only the buttons.

I've actually done that before, but in Spirit Tracks, so it didn't matter because that doesn't use the buttons.

Yeah. Now that you mention it, I can imagine it would be annoying.
*goes to go see what it's like*
 
Right handed, but I have an injury in my left arm that makes me have to carry everything on my right arm, so I have to have my DS in my left hand, and I have to manouver the whole thing around to hit the button.

You'd think they'd at least have a "customization" option to move everything around.
 
You know I'm left handed, and I barely notice. I suppose I got so used to using it that it doesn't phase me.
 
It does feel abit awkward being a lefty and using the stylus,especially the original fat DS mini stylus,but I usually just use my finger,I mean,it is a "touch" screen,but of course I have to clean it often,ow well, I've adapted.
 
I'm left-handed, and I haven't noticed that much at all, until this topic caught my attention. I think I just got used enough to right-hand dominant stuff that I learned to adapt a bit.
 
I npw this may be stupid but, use your left hand then? I use my left hand occasionally when my right hand gets tired from holding the frikkin stylus.

Though it is weird holding the stylus on the left hand.....


(I'm a Rightie BTW)
