That's how I feel about pretty much all of the styluses :P . On a side note, I had debated about importing a non-XL N3DS and converting it to US. How did that turn out for you?

I don't regret it really. I like the smaller size since it fits in my pocket easier. It's also more comfortable for my hands for longer sessions. The main thing I miss is the screens but I can live without them. Your mileage may vary for any of these though.

I think the blown up screens only show off just how low-res they really are. A smaller screen, yes, is smaller, but probably would result in a sharper image. If I can be nosy, what did you pay to have it imported and what was the process of converting it like?

It wasn't imported. Nintendo actually released it in North America finally, but only with a bundle. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0144K8KQW

My biggest issue is the placement on the O3DS. If they had placed the stylus slot right where it was on the DS Lite everything would be ok.

After playing with the stylus on this one, I feel its placement is worse (including the New XL model), since it can almost easily fall out. Both places are pretty annoying though. The Old XL got it right, didn't it?

2DS did that as well.

Probably not, considering I got the New XL when the hinge on my old one broke (not the blue one pictured), and several months later still transferred the same day the bundle was released.

but they most likely won't fit inside the system, which removes the need to carry it around separately ;o;

Buy a flip-case, problem solved. Those stock toothpics are only good for poking your own eye out. XD

I got a spare Wii U stylus (from a little collection of colored ones I have), which seems to work well. But I can't really get anything else. :/

Wii U styluses are alright, but my fiancee and I got a Starter Pack for it and it came with two awesome pens - cost us a fiver at most and they're top notch.

I hold mine like this if it helps. I actually tried holding it like a pencil and it was horrible. When I grab my stylus, no matter what size it is, since they're all different between systems, I end up holding it like this naturally. My hand is facing down when I actually us it though.

I got an O3ds XL, but I use an unofficial stylus. This is how: buy an old Chinese Android tablet for less than 5 dollars and you got a longer working stylus. (I lost the official one and had an old tablet (with stylus) roaming around)

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    Lol charging your dad's classic unless he's the type that doesn't like taking things like that
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
