Title: I love my DS, but god damn the D-Pad drives me nuts.

Mega Man StarForce requires a lot of diagonals and whatnot, and the DS d-pad just doesnt cut it. I dont have huge thumbs but goddamn if this handheld doesnt make me think I have the biggest motherfukin thumbs on the planet. Its an exercise in frustration getting the twerp to move the way I want. ARHHHGHG.

Which one do you guys think is worse, wii's or the psp's?  I got one of those stick on DPADS for the PSP 'cause I couldn't pull off special moves in fighting games.  It worked great but I eventually removed it 'cause it made the PSP not fit in my case.

The d-pad issue on the psp can be compensated for by devs, proven by SFA3

DS Lite's D-pad is fucking awful.  It bugs the shit out of me how loose it is.

I quite like the Wii's d-pad though, why are you hating on it, Smooth Groove?
