I find it curious that I've never seen a video of someone controlling their DS/3DS touchscreen with just a finger.

I've used touchscreens on mobile devices even before the DS was out, and I almost never use the stylus, just my fingernail.

Recently I've been on a binge of trying out DS shooters that control the aiming via touchscreen, and just using my thumb I can hold the handheld like a normal console controller, with aiming similar to having a right thumbstick. Can't imagine fiddling with a stylus to aim, ew.

And no I don't have long fingernails, just completely normal human ones. I'm also not worried about damaging the screen - if anything, fingernails are softer than hard plastic.

Am I really the only one?

Made a poll in the comments, please vote by upvoting, I'm curious.

Lol I feel your pain, grime is the worst. I really (really) like the look of white handhelds - some pick up dirt more than others but it shows so much on them. Feels like I'm scrubbing with a toothbrush every time I use one. I end up using my non-white handhelds more so I can be a little more lax about cleaning, which feels like a shame.

Thanks for the list! The only one of those I've played is RE, I'll be sure to give the others a shot. I actually really like aiming with a stylus, plus it's always neat seeing how developers approach the limited buttons and technical capabilities of the DS for more AAA-adjacent games. I'll keep an eye out for your reviews.
