Stylus or buttons?

[Heath]

Buttons. I tend to avoid using the stylus for all DS games.

Same here. I thought it was a really cool idea, but I prefer not to use it if I can get around using the buttons. Even for a game like Advance Wars DS when it should - you'd think - make it easier.

hmm it wont let me vote but i always use buttons
and thats cause the ds screen or something is smurfed up and wherever you touch the stylus it registers it as an inch or 2 lower and to the left!!
makes playing brain training a bloody pain in the archibald also

Did you try to calibrate the screen with the stylus?

[fire_of_avalon]

Yeah, try calibrating it.

I use both, depending on what I'm doing in game, how I'm laying/relaxing, etc.

Buttons. And so far I've yet to figure out how to hop mountains in the Invincible with the stylus.

It pissed me off you had to use buttons in FF4. I actually LIKED the stylus. Better control on the maps, faster menus, once you get used to it.

I like to go it oldschool. Buttons will always be my way of playing any game. (Heck, I don't even like swinging a Wiimote around...maybe I'm just too picky?)

Buttons all the way. I've never been much for the stylus. I'm sure you can become faster with a stylus, but my buttons reflexes are already at optimal.

1) The stylus controls just felt tacked on.
2) You can't use the item duplication glitch with the stylus. xD

Buttons.
The stylus doesn't feel right... plus I lose them all of the time...

I get to slouch if I play one handed, so I mostly use the stylus. However, I can't find a good way to multi-target, so for that I use buttons.

[dragontamer]

Always use the buttons! Its a pain in the ass to use the stylus...

[Quindiana Jones]

You people are all stylus noobs. xD

[Rebellious Eagle]

I prefer buttons, because I'm just so used to mashing buttons on my older consoles.

Buttons. I first tried stylus but it got too hard for me. Sometimes I might have used stylus while exploring town but battles are only for buttons.
