    Unfortunately, the Ally X doesnt have trackpads which is must have for games like strategy and point&click. The lack of trackpads in this hardware category is astounding, actually.

      Why not just use the touch screen?

      The “mouse” moves where my finger lands, and works fine for any game I’ve played, though I’ll admit right clicks ca be a bit fiddly with touch.

        Using touch forces me to place the handheld on a table or hold it with one hand repeatedly which I find very uncomfortable. It is also not as precise and I can’t hover for tooltips (essential for point and click).

          Okay, hovering is valid, and I suppose not everyone had huge hands whose thumbs can reach the screen while still holding it normally.

          I was thinking Etrian, drawing on the map with a stylus like you did on the original 3DS version making it a lot easier than using a mouse.
