Nintendo forgets left-handed players with BASE 10

Advertisement

BASE 10 (Also known as CODE) is hailed as a great math game, and involves lining up numbers so that they add up to ten. It sounds simple enough, but this is not the case for left-handed players.

Thats right, unlike many other popular games for the Nintendo DS that involve holding the DS in a book-like style, Art Style: BASE 10 does not feature an option to switch screens. The feature, which allows left-handed players to use the touchscreen with ease, has been left out of the game in a ridiculous oversight that may result in many a cramped wrist.

Mina Harris, of Nintendo America has defended this oversight saying things such as "it is unlikely that this will cause any issues." and "this game was tested extensively by left-handed testers before its release, and there were no issues reported."

The above mentioned wrist cramps would be a result of her undoubtedly well thought-out solution to the problem, which is recommending that left-handed players "hold the Nintendo DSi with their right hand, while controlling the stylus with their left hand. Keeping their left wrist towards the bottom of the system will ensure that the touch screen isnt blocked during gameplay."

Oh, comfortable.
