5: Menu load times.
I haven't given this much thought, but I kinda agree on this one. It takes a lot of time to actually get back home. (5 seconds can be a long time!)
4: Tapping is required.
This has not been an issue with me, as I just go ahead and use my thumbs if needed. If it's a game that heavily utilizes the stylus, I'll just go ahead and use it, but not unless I "have" to.
3: Stylus storage.
I couldn't agree more, with everything on this point.
I also had that worked perfectly into my routine of getting the stylus out on the DSLite, but now it's hidden away on the other side of the system, on the back.2: How it plays Nintendo DS games.
I noticed this while trying Pokemon black, and I'm at the point where I don't play it anymore, sadly. (partially due to the fact that I don't know anyone around here with pokemon, but when I do play, i only play for like 10 minutes).
1: Secondary face buttons.
While the start/select buttons are like the airplane volume buttons, I really don't mind the placement. Largely because I hardly use them anyway, but I feel like i can get to them without any hassle.
The power button on the other hand is misplaced, BUT, on the DSPhat, I accidentally turned my system off a lot, and I still haven't done that with the 3DS.
The thing i didn't like, the instant I got it, was how cheap it felt. The sounds of plastic creaking when you open or close it. Sounds very cheap.
But that's of course just a minor thing.
