DS Touch Screen Durability

[JohnnytheSkin]

I just picked up a DS Lite with the two 'Brain' games, 'Super Princess Peach', and 'New Super Mario Bros'. Anyway, reading the manual mentions that too much pressure can damage the touch screen. Having never used a stylus or a touch screen, I'm just wondering how much pressure is too much? I've been playing 'Brain Age' and when you have to solve the math problems my numbers don't all register, meaning I'm being way too light. Any help or suggestions?

Also, what should my next game be? The wife loves the 'Brain' games, so I'm thinking of 'Tetris DS'. I'm also looking at 'Advance Wars' for the DS, though I've never played one before...how steep is the learning curve? I'll definately buy 'Children of Mana' when that drops, as well as 'Trauma Center', since they are releasing more copies of the latter due to high demand.

Thanks!

You can press a little harder. Make sure you dont leave gaps when you draw numbers and all. or the game will think its a different number.

I found that out too fast...it's really difficult writing the words in the "Memorize" game. I haven't used divided paper since grade school.

What Nintendo is concerned about is scratching the touch screen. If you use a good screen protector then you should be fine.
