Jack, the DS is the first console geared towards both right and left handers. The games have 2 configurations for controlls, unlike other systems.

Wrong. I know for a fact that Halo has lefty settings that swap the analog sticks and triggers (not sure if it remaps the buttons to the d-pad, I've never really paid attention).

I wasn't really comlaining aboutt hat in this thread, but more like I was seeing how many people here were lefties. Also when you change button configuration it gets wierd. Im used to playing a right handed consdole. Throw in a touch sreen suddenly its like I have two d pads. Oh and a good point about Halo Andrew. :P

I am a lefty as well. I can do about everything right handed thought, except write. Like a lot of you guys, my teachers tried to switch me when I was in elementary school. The world is made for right handed people.

Always Atari think of original ideas that are still used today, a list then...

Wireless Controllers (Atari 2700 Prototype)
Left Handed Controls (I had an idea for this on a SNES pad)
Cartridge Device Media (okay, they weren't the first, but they pushed the choice of format for games)

Going back to the original subject... :P

I am left handed as well. I use my right hand for some things though, like throwing things and using a mouse. I think I would've been right handed had it not been for the fact that I was born with an extra thumb connected to the side of my right thumb. They had it removed, of course. But there is still a hard bump on the side of my thumb which prevents it from bending. So writing and stuff would be difficult.
