lucky for me being left handed is not a big deal, i only write left handed. And playing the ds left handed, is no big deal i never had a problem with any game. Also when using a computer mouse, i actually use my right hand which is weird since im a lefty.

I thought most DS games have the option to switch to a left-handed mode... I dunno really. "I'm a righty, so I can't relate" might seem cliche, but the best thing I can suggest is practice?

i'm a left and i dont really hav problems playing most of the ds games with the stylist but there was this one game that made it seem impossible for me to play since i had to direct the person in the game with my left hand and use the stylist with my right hand which was a bit difficult since my right hand is very weak

I am a lefty, but I don't have problems playing games, but it might be because mostly all the DS games I have ask which handed you are or have different settings that can meet my needs. I wish thet would make the Wii better for leftys though.

I'm a lefty. But I didn't experience any problem while playing DS games. However, I felt more natural for me to navigate thigns with left hand and select things with right hands. SO when stylus is used for walking or diretional use I had no problem.

Thats pretty weird to be a lefty with the stylus. I wish I was ambidextrous so I could try both hands to see the difference.

I'm no lefty but my friends who are seem to be doing fine on the DS. Maybe it just takes some getting used to? Although it would be good if they made models for both left handed and right handed people.

All the games ive played have had no dual hand capabilities, so, Nintendo needs to focus on this.

Why is it hard to play with your left hand?I know wario ware asks if you are a lefty or not. Shouldnt the other games do that?

i am totally ambidexterous, so if the game requires me to switch hands i just switch. but at first it was difficult to get used to using my right hand. i work much faster with my right hand now tho cuz most games are for right handed people.

You could always try "Left or Right ambidexterity challenge" to build up either hand. Although most games do have the option to choose which hand you prefer to use.

I'm ambidextrous so it doesn't matter so much, but I like it when games include an option for leftys. XD Also, there's this game called Left or Right Ambidextrous Challenge (?) that helps with that. Quite weird but actually pretty neat. :o

I'm a lefty and it sucks. Stylus heavy games (Metroid Prime Hunters) make me look like a newbie. Even though most games have ambidextrous controls, the DS simply isn't designed for it. There are a lot of little nuances that righties simply can't notice that add up.

I pretty sure that it has a left hand option so you turn the DS around which is more comfortable for lefty's
