You know what, I completely forgot about the little thumb thing that came with the DS (at least mine anyways). I just used that a little for this game and I have to say, it works just as good as the stylus and it's way less stressful to use. There's a sacrifice in accuracy when it comes to selecting some of Samus' weapons and other functions, and you have to pick your thumb up and place it back in the middle when your thumb cannot stretch any further (when turning Samus alot), but I have to say, it's pretty good. If only my hand were a tad bit bigger, it would be perfect. Cuinneas, is there another thumb thing in the works? Sounds like this is the way to go.
