    Dear whoever decided video game controller D-pads should be circular: I cannot thank you enough for giving my character a choice between "up" and "down" when I press "left." Thank you, thank you, thank you, try not to get eaten by a bear.

        @pony No but seriously, I haven't seen a good D-pad since the SNES.

          @scribus I like my Logitech's. It's still circular but with a raised cross in the middle so it's easy to feel and press left, right, up , and down

            @pony Hmm. Mine's also a Logitech, but it's got a circle with just little 1/2 cm protrusions for the cardinal directions.

      @widget Haven't played much Wii, but now that you mention it I don't think I've had any rage-o-matic issues with that one.

      @widget I found that DS in general are uncomfortably small. But a nice chunky nerf case makes it quite playable.

        @erfunden I liked the size for what the console was.

      @widget I feel like the DS Lite found the perfect balance.

      @widget It is still my favorite DS, and the last one I'll ever own because none of the new ones play GBA games.

        @toksyuryel You can play GBA games on a DSi with an emulator on the R4

            @hakupony I don't know much about handheld consoles before the DSi, since I only started paying attention when my brother bought one xD

      @widget I sense that you should go to bed since making that spelling error.
