My one problem with the Nintendo DS

I can live with the laughable graphics and gimmick, but I just can't get over this...

Just don't mix.

The DS headphone jack is surrounded by plastic that makes it so the E3 1/8th inch plug won't fit into the DS all the way. I find this very shitty since I will not be able to fully enjoy the awsome soundtrack games like Castlevania will display.

This makes me sad

Just kidding about the laughable gimmick part. :3
 
my headphones also work correctly with a ds.

Yeah, that's a problem I've had as well. One pair of headphones I have just won't plug in completely, because of the plastic edge above.
 
Hey my dad works at Nintendo if you send me your DS I can have him exchange it for the all-new model that doesn't have this problem

also comes with an alanog stick attachment that's not going to be announced til February
 
Well I guess it's more of certain games fault but being left handed sucks a lot with the DS sometimes, especially Ultimate Spiderman and Venom's parts :/
 
*shrug* I still use my 1990 classic Gameboy headphones with the DS. They fit just fine.

They foam on the earbuds are long gone though :'( Can you buy new foamies for earbuds?

Sure, you usually get about three sets of foams with the 99 cent earbuds/case that they sell in the grocery story checkout lanes.

best tag ever.
 
A note for all who don't think AWDS has good music: do NOT judge the AWDS music from the Advancewarsnet rips. Yes, I know they're at 128kbps and 44khz quality, but even that is a huge downgrade that severely reduces the quality of the music. It sounds absolutely awesome when you're playing AWDS with headphones.

Got an SP? Use its headphone adapter on the top port. Works fine.

This is sucky for people who don't actually own an SP or a headphone adapter (like me for example). It feels somewhat stupid paying for a headphone adapter when I'm confident they could've just built the DS to make every type of headphone plug fit...only thing in the way is a bit of plastic. Luckily, I have other headphones that actually fits...but still.
 
the recessed headphone jack is my fifth most-hated thing about the ds. after the laughable gimmick, the laughable graphics, the laughable ergonomics, and the sad necessity of owning one to play metroidvania. :(
