Sigh, when games machines are released the controller must be comfortable. I remember a very good post by jd99 about pads - with reference to the tiny pads of the Master System and NES consoles - how the pads have improved.

Peripheral comfort is a must if they want us to keep playing games.

Now, as much as I think the GBA is a fantastic little device, a review of it is somewhere around, I have had to stop playing because it's too darn uncomfortable to hold. Designed for the Japanse fingers it just doesn't help me. I am left with an aching left hand and lower arm and I can only type with one hand. So, no more than 30minutes a day on the world's latest released console, I shall have to console myself for now.

Just a warning - be careful, don't get Tony Hawk's 2 and expect not to become addicted to it. D'oh!

Ok, don't play too much now.

I find it comfortable though... I expect it's to do with the shape of your hand...

(No, don't be silly, I expect it's to do with your social upbringing.)

Oh shut up.

I actually wrote a PURE NINTENDO MAGIC about it. I praise it. Just it hurts me.
