Lite-headed

I am. I was regretting the purchase up until i opened it. Man, it was like taking the panties off some hot, clean shaven snatch and wanting to eat what you just uncovered. It really does look like polar ice. All nice and plasticy, too. I like it better than the navy blue one. The smudging is ok with me since it's easy to wipe off. Dirt on the other hand...we'll see.

More importantly than that, i love the new buttons. Everything except for the placement of Start and Select (it's harder to perform soft resets). The d-pad is a dream, the buttons are splendid, and the shoulders are comfy-er than anything you've ever considered comfy. Those screens are window-clear now. Oh so well-lit. Its size and weight are something you only really notice when you go back to a butch DS. The mic seems to work better, or at least my brain was tricked into thinking so, and the speakers sound a bit lower than the old beast. Maybe it was the environment, i dunno.

I got Big Brain Academy with it cause it surprised me with that 20 dollar price tag. It's decent, better than Brain Age, but it's definitely a $20 game if you know what i'm sayin'. Doesn't really grab you and all that. These days, a game has to have wifi to feel like it's worth my money. Anyway, it's a lot beefier than Brain Age. That has to be said.

The stylus gets an enlargement job, but it feels weird to me after all this time handling Kirby's pink rod. (Take that sentence however you want to.) It doesn't scratch like the original grey stylus did, and it feels a little weird using a bigger stylus on a smaller DS; it makes you not wanna rest your hand on it while you play. There are dots on the touch screen for a reason unbeknownst to me, so if you dislike invisible dots, stay away. Both screens' viewing angles are increased due to the readjustment of the backlights and the brightness, and games like Brain Age improve because of it.

I haven't manhandled it enough to tell if the left hand still cramps with Hunters, but controlling New Mario with it actually made the travesty game more fun. Squishy buttons rule. If only i had a great new game to play. Another important point: it fits great inside the pockets. Mind you, i wear women's jeans and they're not exactly baggy. Less effeminate owners may yield even better results. Oh, and the power switch is better than the power button. Yea, don't forget about that groundbreaking improvement.
