This may sound silly, but I'm hesitant to pick up either Bowser's Inside Story or Spirit Tracks because I've heard they require you to blow/talk? into the mic.

Because I game during my breaks at the office, I need to be discreet. I'm usually playing the DS in a lounge area surrounded by other office workers, and my black DS lite doesn't stand out at all. Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but not sure I want people seeing me using the mic - I still have to appear professional!

I thought about buying these games anyway, but I really do 90% of my DS gaming at work. Are these mic instances rare enough that I could delay them once in a while till I got home? Buy Okamiden instead? :)

As far as I know, Spirit Tracks requires you to only blow into the Mic (i.e. Not make any noise). Even in situations where you need to talk, you can usually get away with just blowing since the DS still perceives it as sound. I'm sure you could pull those segments off relatively discretely.

Thanks guys...wasn't sure about the frequency or what was required exactly.

STAY AWAY FROM NINTENDOGS - any of them! :(

Lost in Blue 2 had some very funny mic work - you had to mimic a gorilla. :oops:
