Comment on The Anbernic RG DS Plus Is The Best DS Handheld Yet

How is playing touchscreen-first games using a capacitive screen vs the original hardware resistive touchscreen? I really like the way original hardware feels so I’m worried emulation might be an inferior experience

Interesting concern, I hadn’t considered that! A lot of games expected you to use the stylus, can’t imagine pressing tiny buttons without it

There are also games played exclusively with the stylus like Elite Beat Agents or Trauma Center

And ones that rely on a resistive touchscreen, like the bit in Hotel Dusk where you have to flick both breaker switches at the same time.
I doubt a “slushy” stylus would be a great experience for quickly answering math problems in Brain Age, or… doing basically anything in either of the two Zelda games. 😅
I know a lot of people with dual-screen handhelds use styluses (styli?) with a disc tip:

Which I guess would at least help with the friction. 🤔 I wonder if someone will make one that can fit into the slot on the Anbernic.

My mind went to Picross but yeah, a fat capacitive stylus would make those games ROUGH

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword is incredible too.
