Hi hotties,

In recent time (yesterday) I have been playing my old mate 3DS a fair bit in light of recent events (SSB3DS duh) and am suffering from annoying hand cramps that are preventing me from playing for as long as I would like.

Does anyone else have this issue? I thought because I have petite lady hands this wouldn't happen but nope, the 3DS makes me feel like I have arthritis. I've never had this problem with previous DS models, just 3DS, and of course because SSB is such a full on game my hands become really stiff and sore.

I am possibly considering buying a 2DS for the different shape (looks nicer to hold, never use 3D anyway) or 3DSXL for the bigger model which may also be easier on my hands, but opinions first.

I've tried holding it many different ways but most ways are too awkwsrd and I end up dropping it, On my face. Help.

Yeah the original 3DS is annoyi,g in that way. It just kills,my hand whenever I play smash or kid icarus. Wish u had the XL since that supposedly gives you cramps less.

This is why I'll never play a fighter on a handheld.

Edit - Though I might be tempted to try it as a social game...or if I have no reason to get a WiiU.

I'd help, but... I HAVE NO POWER HERE.[/gandalf]

Anyway, XL user here, can confirm that there's no such thing as hand cramps on it. For me, anyway. Your mileage may vary. But yeah, I've been grinding my ancient Japanese social links for hours with no hand strain whatsoever.

You know, people laugh at me when I say I have a 2DS, but you know what I don't get? HAND CRAMPS 8D
