Touch Screen + Normal Control, Yay or Nay?

i'm talking about games like Metroid Prime Hunters and Mario Hoops 3 on 3
the combination works in a nice way (especialy on Mario Hoops) but it feels awfull on the hands since you have to use one hand to both keeping your grip on the DS AND controlling the game! so Yay or Nay?

Works really, really great on MPH. Couldn't have been better. But I do agree... my hand feels kind of numb after playing.

Well it controls fine in MPH its just my left wrist gets tired from having to hold up the machine and use my thumb to control Samus. I often have to adjust the way i hold the machine to be able to properly hit one of the directions on the D-pad. This makes my hand/wrist very tired very quick.

And no I am not a little scrawny kid that needs to drink more milk.

If you only use the cross OR only use the L button, it's ok, it's not very comfortable but it's fine, but when you have to use both the cross, the L button and the touch screen it's awful. I can't play Metroid Prime Hunter because of that.

For me confort>efficiency, MPH über fast and precise but it's a pain to play, I have the same problem with PC games, keyboard+mouse is really efficient, but te keyword really isn't comfortable, it's so square and rigid, it looks like it wasn't design to be used with hands. That's the reason I prefer playing with a pad, stick aren't as precise as a mouth, there's much more button on the keyboard, so PC games can be more complex and more efficient, but it's not comfortable :(

I also don't like DS games that controls with the button but sometimes requires the touch screen in the middle of the gameplay, you have to grab the stylus and it completely ruin the feeling of the game.

The best remains stylus control with no buttons but that kinda limits the gameplay, which isn't such a bad thing for a handheld machine imo.
