Steve just posted an interesting point about adventures on the DS
on his blog:

Point-and-click on the PC is done through moving the mouse cursor around and then clicking with the mouse button when an object in the background highlights in some way. As Tony Warriner, over at Revolution, pointed out to me, you cannot do this with the stylus as you'd constantly have to sweep the stylus across the screen until you held it over something that was highlighted. Then, because you are already pressing on the screen with the stylus to do the "pointing", how would you "click"?

The clicking could be done with any of the DS' buttons, but indeed it still seems a bit awkward to sweep the screen with the stylus. (Or not? It's hard to visualize...) One alternative would be to just tap objects on the screen, but without the interface giving feedback about what's interactive or not, that would be like flying blind.
