DS Daily: What do you hate about the DS?


Yesterday's topic over on Wii Fanboy inspired us to ask a similar question here: what bugs you about the DS? Sure, we know you love it as much as we do, but nothing's perfect, right? Friend codes, hinge cracks, buttons that sometimes just stop working -- c'mon, lay it on us. Let's talk about our handheld's faults. Then we can appreciate the good moments -- like an overabundance of nicely-priced games -- that much more.

1. Volume slider sucks - difficult/impossible to make minor changes in volume.

2. The Start/Select buttons on the DS Lite are annoying to me...I really hate that damn clicking sound.

3. Discoloration: it might just be my own fault, but I have some (ugly) discolored shoulder buttons.

4. DS Games with mediocre 3D Graphics: Unless you are ready to sacrifice a screen in order to display decent in-game graphics I would prefer 2D.


I hate the above things about the DS, but understand that I consider it my favorite system at the moment - despite all the flaws.

I wish it had better graphics and some multimedia capability. Not that I want it to be a PSP but it would be a much better system.

The fact that there's a yellowish tint on the touch screen (I don't think all DS' have this though) and how you have to restart the thing every time you wanna go to the menu.
