Nintendo DS games that don't require the shoulder buttons ?
19 replies, posted
So, my 3ds has broken shoulder buttons (L & R) which means I can't play games like Mario Kart and such to the fullest. I also have no interest in paying for repairs, as I don't play too many games with it anymore.
However, I might still want to play some games with it sometime. DS games can get cheap and I know for a fact that there are games that dont require the use of the shoulder buttons. In case I'm in the mood for them, I want to know what games I will be able to play.
And since its a 3DS, games for that work too. They are not as cheap, though.
all of the pokemon games on nds and 3ds
Sm4sh would be playable if you rebind shield to X.
If you can get used to only touch controls, then there's also the DS Zeldas.
Metroids
Ace Attorney games are fully playable with a touchpad alone
If it's a 3ds and you happen to find a dirt cheap Circle Pad Pro you can use it as a replacement for the L/R buttons for games that allow use of it, like Monster Hunter
Hotel Dusk
Elite Beat Agents !
If you can install homebrew onto your 3DS [url=https://github.com/mikahjc/ButtonSwap3DS]this might solve your issue[/url]. Haven't personally tested it, though.
almost every single RPG out there can be played without L or R
Just buy a 2DS, they're only 80 dollars
Animal Crossing doesn't require shoulder buttons.

Actually there's one or two minigames in Rhythm Heaven for DS that uses R button
I don't know shit about handhelds but can't you just get a screw driver and try fixing the shoulder buttons?
Kirby Canvas Curse if possible. I'm not certain how compatibility works on DS' since I've never owned a 3DS.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

What? Which oone? I remember the game being based around tapping with the stylus, so I don,t see how you'd hold the ds, the stylus, and also use the R button.

the technique at around 00:30 you need to hold the R/L button to bend the note
although at most this would only hinder your ability to get a perfect rating on this one song
or play any of the advance guitar lesson minigames
