The best way to play any of the DS Zeldas is with the unit closed and powered off anyway. They're repetitive and a chore more than fun, my least favorite games in the franchise.

Who would think that revisiting the same temple 12 times is a good idea?! Yeah, I love to replay the same dungeon over and over!
I wasn't so sure about the whole stylus only control either...but I loved both games and I think that whole business of drawing/making notes/crossing stuff off your maps and drawing your bommerang paths and so on is pretty handy!

As much as I think Nintendo went downhill with their home consoles, and don't really care about handhelds much, I don't think they'd miss something as important as that, or a built in mic, ya know?


Yep, they are very careful with stuff like that, unlike say, Activision who were probably totally red because of the DSi ditching the cart slot(and ending the Guitar Hero DS series.)
Guitar Hero has been discontinued for a few years now...

Whew, that was a close one on Nintendo's part eh? I thought for sure they had goofed and really made an embarrassing blunder with that one. It was bad enough when they themselves just had to mention "younger gamers" when they explained who the 2DS was marketed towards...like we need any more reinforcements of that Nintendo stereotype.

Uh...more so than you need to stop worrying about stereotypes, Nintendo needs parents to buy their children Nintendo hardware and software, perpetuating the cycle of generations playing Nintendo games.
