Prime Hunters on the DS Lite

[Ikari Warrior]

I just got a DS Lite, and bought Metroid Prime Hunters for it. During times of intense action, however, I found myself losing my grip on my system. Between pressing the D-pad and the L button to move and shoot, and the stylus to aim, it feels like it's slowly popping out of my hand. So, I find myself cradling it between my pinky and other four fingers to hold it while I use my thumb on the D-pad. This is very uncomfortable. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I the only schmuck who's playing MP:H on the DS Lite? If you are having, or have had this problem, how did you solve it?

Never had that problem...

Try the other control methods....

That is a personal play style problem more than anything else.

well, I"ve tried the other control schemes. I'm right-handed, so stylus left is out, and the buttons don't move me fast enough for aiming. Looks like my poor pinky is just gonna have to suffer.

Are you setting the DS down on something and using it like you'd write on paper? That tends to help.

Usually I sit down and cross my legs as a makeshift table, of sorts.

I just use the pinky and ring finger to hold my DS, the middle finger to press the R-button, and the index finger and thumb to move the stylus. So long as you're just letting the DS rest in the hands instead of traying to grip it, I find this method works just fine.

I've only been able to play around with the DS Lite a little bit, but even in that little bit it seemed a bit small for me.

Thanks! It feels a little weird in my hand, but I think I'll get used to it. That works a lot better than the method I was doing.

yea same. u can turn faster in dual control mode if u turn teh sensetivity up, of course teh faster u move the less acurate u are, it all depends on how u want it. i use teh stylus mode for adventure and dual mode for multiplayer. i am wierd i know, but i usualy keep teh sensitivity around 7-10.

meh i type really fast so most of the time i switch the t & h. meh it really isn't a big deal, just ignore it. it isn't like i purposely do it.
