I've just picked up a DS from the MM and borrowed a few games from a friend to 'test' the system before I give it to my sister as a present
Overall it's much better than I anticpated, but I have a real problem with 'thumb ache' in my right thumb when I use any game that needs the d-pad and the face buttons. I can't play the likes of FIFA for more than 5minutes without needing a break. I think it's because I tend to brace the console from tipping backwards with my button thumb while playing.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I just holding the thing like a spoon?
I don't have freakishly large or small hands as far as I'm aware
