RUMOR - Nintendo might be working on 3DS Lite

[kthnxshwn]

Besides Monster Hunter, when are you going to use a second analog stick? The Gamecube, Wii, and N64 utilize one.

So, now that we have that out of the way...

Please reread my post; I said utilize - not have One was solely used for changing camera angles and the other is a classic controller. C'mon now, you're better than that.

You're not going to wriggle out of this one - changing camera angles is just as good of a "use" as any other. The classic controller isn't used just for WiiWare or Virtual Console - there are genuine Wii games compatible with it that utilize both sticks. As for the Gamecube, games for it used two sticks, the stock controller had two and they were not always for camera management.

The classic controller isn't used just for WiiWare or Virtual Console - there are genuine Wii games compatible with it that utilize both sticks. As for the Gamecube, games for it used two sticks natively, and not always for camera management.

Name 3. There is no need to bulk up the 3DS even more for the ability to change camera angles - there's no need for it. I don't even know what wriggle means, but I'm assuming it means prove how idiotic it would be. Anyways, back to the original point. name 3 games that follow your criteria. Three well known games, but that's the only reason that could warrant adding a permanent analog stick to a device.

Does the term "FPS" ring a bell?

I don't even know what wriggle means

Read the dictionary.

- Luigi Mansion (C-Stick was used to suck in ghosts, the Control Stick was used to walk around the mansion. A sequel is comming up for the 3DS).
- Super Smash Bros. Melee (Control Stick used to control the characters, C-Stick could be utilized to perform Smash Attacks).
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (C-Stick used for fishing, among other things. Very handy).
- Every FPS in existence ever for both platforms (Kudos, Frogboy. I completely forgot about epic matches on GoldenEye on the Wii. Using the Classic Controller for that is actually uberpleasant).

I really don't feel like thinking of any more titles, those are from the top of my head.

These tasks can all be done with other buttons.

This is speculation not a rumor (Nikkei Trendy ≠ Nikkei). Although it should be obvious to just about everyone that Nintendo will be releasing a 3DS redesign someday.

In the redesign, I would want,
- better cameras
- second circle pad and L2, R2 buttons just to support Circle Pad Pro games
- better battery life (but I doubt that's going to happen)

I doubt we'd see a redesign with a second circle pad since it's mandatory.

We will see a second circlepad in a redesign. Nintendo isn't going to redesign the Frankenstick every time they release a 3DS revision. Since the second circle pad add-on was released early in the 3DS's lifespan, we will see a lot of games that support it as a secondary control scheme. It makes no sense not to include it.

He asked for a few titles that warrant using two analog sticks at once and he recieved some. I also assure you that if you played Luigi Mansion, you would know that catching ghosts required manipulating both sticks.

You would play a FPS on a Nintendo console? Sad. Also, your attempts at insults or passive agression are just as such.

Those titles you've listed did not NEED the second analog stick - at all. You'd have to find titles that solely relied on the second analog stick to function to warrant having an analog stick on the device at all times.

They still use both sticks.
Remember, your argument was Monster Hunter.
The second circle pad in Monster Hunter is optional.

This is a clear case of denial - get yourself a Gamecube, buy a few games and then we'll talk whether two sticks are necessary or not. Start with Metroid Prime. I DARE you to finish that game without the stick. Launch a few games with the Classic Controller on the Wii too and compare your experiences with using the standard WiiMote setup and the twin stick setup.

I'll say it as plainly as I can - humans have two thumbs, and that is good enough reason to equip controllers and handhelds with two thumb sticks. Some games require only the shoulder buttons and the sticks to be the played.

This is just pure speculation shit from NK Trendy.

Anyway to those who complained about the 3DS blah blah, you are not forced to buy it in the first place. I'm angry as well, but I don't bother complaining since I chose to buy it at launch and Nintendo didn't force the shit on me.

Haix. If a 3DS Lite really were to appear THAT soon though, I'll sell away all the Nintendo products I have and boycott them.

I'll say it as clearly as day - humans have two thumbs, and that is good enough reason to equip controllers and handhelds with two thumb sticks. Some games require only the shoulder buttons and the sticks to be the played.

Humans also have two feet, why not incorporate that into portable gaming? There's a flaw in your argument. Also, "case of denial" only relates when it deals with personal issues, but I see you're not from America or any of the countries that have familiarized the saying, so I'll let it pass.

Anyways, the second 3DS won't have it. You do not need the second pad on a device, meant to be portable, to only be used for a handfull of titles. Hence why Nintendo released, as Pingouin7 noted, an optional add-on. Again, there is no need to add something to a device, meant to be portable, if it will barely be used.

Also, allow me to get out of your feelings. you seem mildly upset.

Redefining the rules of a challenge mid-argument so that you don't lose it shows that you're unwilling to concede to a realistic argument.
Plenty of people really would prefer dedicated dual analog because it feels natural, especially in FPS and any 3D games that could benefit from camera control while moving.

Accusing a foreigner of being unable to truly understand a common English psychiatric term because he isn't American is about the most retarded argument I've ever seen on this forum.

Kinect and Balance Board scream "hi".
EDIT: ...but seeing that those aren't really "portable", I'll just add "any game that requires you to walk around and use the camera". That'd be Invizimals, maybe Face Riders and so on and so forth.

Also, "case of denial" only relates when it deals with personal issues, but I see you're not from America or any of the countries that have familiarized the saying, so I'll let it pass.

I study English at University, I know what denial is, thank you very much. Your definition is very narrow, I assure you that it's much broader.

Also, allow me to get out of your feelings. you seem mildly upset.

Trust me, an Internet argument isn't something that could possibly upset me.

Not that it really matters, but let me explain my point further. YOU may not need/want two analogs on your device, but you're a single person among the crowd. Some people like using the touchscreen/WiiMote, others like to use twin analog sticks - that's a fact and you have to accept that.

That wasn't an argument - that was an observation. he clearly used it wrong, it was addressed, and that was pretty much the end of it.

Anyways, I wasn't redefining rules. It was part of the entire point. You want to add a second analog stick to a device that would be used for one or two games. Not even to say that the console would be new and we're speculation future titles - you want this on an already created device with games already in development. If you think the new revision will have a second analog, go ahead and think that. Matter of fact, if it does, I'll buy you one.

I love my 3Ds and am fine with the one circle pad, as for people who said they are waiting for a price drop. You may see it in like a year.
Generally the 3Ds doesn't need to be made any thinner as it's the same width as the Ds Lite, I really can't think of anything that needs to be improved.
Better movie functionality?
Better Freeware?

Denial (also called abnegation) is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

Let's talk more about denial after you analyze some Freudian psychology studies.

 

[kthnxshwn]

What fact are you talking about? You're assumption that a 3DS revision will need two analog sticks or that past games needed it? Because those are opinions.
