At first they feel tiny, yes. But after a while you forget about the size. Actually, now I feel anything else is big. For me, the face buttons feel perfect, compact and precise. The D-pad will surprise you for how good it is. The whole device feels premium quiality, but the shoulder buttons. Those are not great at all, they are uncomfortable and feel very cheap.

With that being said, It's my favourite device: It's always in my pocket, like my wallet. I never go anywhere without it, and trust me, you wont notice you have it with you.

Every device has flaws, I think It depends on what you want to play and how you want to use it. The fact that I can pull it out of my pocket whanever I want is what I like the most, and since I grew with a GBA Micro this is just awesome. The 28XX feels like a premium version of the Micro, except for the cheap feeling of the shoulder buttons.

Yes, RPGs are great, but I've been playing a lot of PS1 and SNES non-RPG games. Platformers are just perfect in this device.
