DS Daily: Our good pal, the mic

One of the features the DS has that we feel gets underused most is the microphone. It's always getting left behind by the school bus, receiving countless wedgies in the hall from more popular features of the hardware and also getting its milk money took. It's a hard-knock life for the DS's microphone, if you ask us.
Do you feel the same as we do? Could you care less about the microphone on the DS? Do you think it should only be utilized in
Ace Attorney games?

yeah, definitely not a fan. I can enjoy some blowing things... but I have to be away from people or I feel like a dolt. Like in Feel the Magic XY/XX there is a mini-game where you have to blow a boat across water. The boat responded fantastically and it was really satisfying. However, I wouldn't want to do that around people. And I would hate anything really audible... blowing isn't really audible.

don't forget homebrew music apps such as DSratch and Nitrotracker where you can use the mic to create your own samples on the fly. The mic is a real nice little addition to the console especially with sampling when out and about.
