Not only will we have new peripherals, but Nyko’s first entry into whole product categories. ...A handheld peripheral to overcome a blatant Nintendo oversight

Let the guessing begin.

Everyone assumes this is for the 3DS, but I don't see where Nyko said it will be.

Though, it if is, I'm betting either a half-assed CPP clone or another battery pack add-on. Maybe a combination of the two.

I'm very happy with the PowerPak+, so I'm really wondering what this new peripheral is. Hopefully it'll be a Circle Pad Pro that fits with the PowerPak+.

3DS Consoles, Accessories, and Hardware section here.

"a handheld peripheral"

"overcome a blatant Nintendo oversight"

Let's see. The only current Nintendo handheld is the 3DS. Nyko wouldn't waste their money making something for a dead horse.

The only other possible "handheld" Nintendo has, if you REALLY want to push it, is the Wii U controller. Which isn't out yet.

So, Nintendo handheld = 3DS.

well everyone assumes it would be the 3ds bc it is talking about handhelds and nintendo. i guess they COULD make it for the nds but it doesnt seem likely with the 3ds being the new one of the bunch.

edit:
missed the post above

Probably just some combination of their power-pak, grips, and a good placement for the second analogue stick.
I cannot imagine it would be easy though, the circle pad pro also adds two shoulder buttons, and covers the cartridge slot.

Maybe something that slots over the topscreen to make the 3D viewable at ANY angle? im not sure how something like that would work but hell, if they managed to pull off something like that then id buy it.

Better (slimmer) battery that slots in nicely without compromising the feel of the 3DS would be an instant buy for me and if they managed to find a case that has a 2nd analog that slides just under the ABXY buttons then that would be great.

All 3 = SOLD!

I highly doubt that would work, but it would definitely be cool

Also really cool!

That's PRECISELY what I was thinking! Not to mention that I believe that would be completely possible to do! Finally, I would have incentive to play Resident Evil: Revelations and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D! :yaynds:

All 3 = SOLD!
Indeed! :D

A blatant Nintendo oversight?

I can see...

A CPP which is up to 40% slimmer with a built in battery.

A CPP with a battery BUT the ability to reinsert game carts with that shit on.

Or both.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
