Topic: DSi.... Why the Clickey Buttons?

I noticed that too when I snuck it in bed to play Mystery Dungeon a few nights ago. Clicky. Clickety. I was thinking, "How come I didn't hear this before?".

I personally like the clicky buttons.
I reassures me that the buttons are still working.

probably not as bad as my DS Lite's buttons, I've used it so much the plastic part of d-pad falls and its makes this noise.

Hehe, yeah I get that feeling too.

I think the soft buttons are better for games where you have to click into eight directions. I think it's a bit hard to do that with the clicky buttons, but I don't mind..

My DS is so worn out but it works perfectly...... well the touch screen is a little beat out and its kinda hard to play Ouendan on the hardest difficulty but other than that it works like a charm.

I don't notice much difference... however compared to the DS Phat, the L and R buttons are much more clicky, and that's a good thing, but they aren't noticeably loud.

On an unrelated note, does anyone else here hate the fact that they replaced the volume slider with volume buttons? I liked the slider a lot more.

I like the clicky buttons. In fact, I always liked them. They make a cool sound when you push them.

Clicky clicky clicky clicky.

I think the clicky style is better for reasons stated above. Plus, has there ever been a Nintendo handheld that didn't have clicky (or at least semi-clicky) buttons?

The Gameboy Micro has a pretty soft d-pad. It still works great, but it's so soft that I find the DSi's d-pad to be more reassuring that way. I honestly hadn't noticed the clicking until I read this thread -- not like I'm trying to use it during business meetings or anything!

You can't play Pop Island on a DS Lite because it's..... DSiWare...... FAIL.

Anyway, I prefer the clicky buttons, easier to press.

@slapshot82: You claim you own every nintendo system made.... Do you own a Virtual Boy?

YOU
you can share the demo from your DSi to any DS system and play there.

@Vander.... yeah I actually Did own the Virtual Boy at one point way back then. I sold most of my old video games and systems way back in the day when at some point for a few years I didnt think gaming was the best because of the years I spent skating, well I still played games but just not retro. I also had quite a bit of my remaining old school collection stolen when I was in college, anyways, Ive rebought some of it, but mostly just the games, just to have. From what I can remember, the DSi has the Clickiest Buttons of All!

I kinda prefer the clicky buttons, but I'll admit that the buttons started to hurt when I overplayed Retro Game Challenge one day.

I prefer the clicky buttons. The DSPhat had clicky buttons too. I hate the many accidental deaths I make using the "squishy" Wiimote D-Pad when playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii
