Magnet add-ons on consoles are quite risky albeit easy to install, not to mention the problem with it accidentally getting loose after using the portable. I'd imagine it'd be quite near dangerous for the console on the long run to have a permanent magnet on the side (especially if it wasn't meant to be there in the original design of the 3DS).
+1 for the batter life, that's always welcome.

As long as the thing is affordable/comes with additional battery, it's good enough for me.
@feels good man: weird though, most kiddies here place it with bags. Maybe cuz portables here are so expensive?
Ever since then, I never place portables in my pocket anymore besides my phone.

Last time, I placed my old GBA SP in my pockets with absolutely nothing inside and it got deep scratches. (I was in a huge shock)prowler_ said:

This makes me regret buying the 3DS, even after the price drop. Wonder how others feel when they bought it for $250 full price?
Here's what I think. A new 3DS is bound to happen, seeing how that "new peripheral" seems to be more of a bother than convenient.
Since the 3DS has small battery life, it adds on to the reason of a new 3DS. Heck, even the new peripheral seems to add more battery life!
Then again, Nintendo would start losing its customers dramatically if this happens, so the best thing for them to do is to avoid the topic of creating a new 3ds. Now they've announced this so called "extra slide-pad", which just gives us a hint that Nintendo might make a new 3ds...
I can't really see where the 3DS platform is going to go anymore, even though it has "3D" effects.

To me, this confirms my suspicions that a new 3DS revision will be released sometime next year with the second slide pad.
Sorry for all who already bought the 3DS, you could trade it in before the new model is announced if you plan on upgrading or you can just stick with this ugly and fat peripheral.
Think about it, there is no way they would release a whole extra slide pad peripheral which is huge and unwieldy if they weren't desperate to (and not leave the early adopters angry that they can't play newer games.) A new 3DS for 2012 is highly likely IMO.

Yay for another port.
I dig the second slide pad as long as it's not very uncomfortable. I also like the second shoulder buttons.
I hope it's not mad expensive, I'd like to get it.

This add-on looks horrible. Plus I bought a Nyko Power Pak+ so I couldn't use both even if I wanted to. Like others have said it just means that a revision will come out but not for a couple of years because Nintendo would suffer even heavier losses if they made a new one now. It's just history repeating itself. The original Ds or Ds phat was horrible in terms of design and the Ds Lite fixed that. They know people will eventually buy a revision and seem to be counting on that when they mess up. Don't get me wrong I like Nintendo games otherwise I wouldn't have bought a 3DS but they just seem to get in their own way by rushing hardware and making 3rd party developers jump through hoops to put good titles on their systems.
EDIT: Really if they want to rectify things they should just bundle the peripheral with a game that they know will sell well like Super Mario 3D Land or Resident Evil Revelations.

If this does get released out side of japan, maybe they'll give a discount code/coupon to all ambassadors? Mean while replacing the current charge dock in the current 3ds package with it, probably at the original or close to the original price though. Thus the price drop was Nintendo clearing out old stock of the charge dock.
Idk about others but after going through the last few pages, I'm also convinced that a new 3DS revision is just around the corner. But it won't hurt me at all considering I own every DS revision out there....might as well continue with the trend and buy 3DS XP (Xtra Pad LOL) to increase my evergreen DS family
That thing is UGLY
The 3DS is the worst purchase I've made in years. First the shitty games now this ugly add on.
I hope they offer this shit for free to ambassadors, but I highly doubt that will happen.

I am looking forward to seeing the new 3DS model, it will come out sooner rather than later.
I am not buying a 3DS untill they fix the stupid design flaws. This add on being one of them.
NOW IS THE TIME NINTENDO.

Yeah I'm sorta in the same boat. I will probably end up getting it too. I just wish they would have delayed the original in order to add things they clearly wanted in it but left out to meet their deadline.

Extra Slide-Pad?! What the fuck, Nintendo?
What. The. Fuck?
Yours Sincerely,
Existing 3DS Owner with an already large 3DS
P.S This is the last time I shall be purchasing a console from you.

well still not really. if they make a game that pretty much needs the second stick, or it would suck without one, devs wont want to port it. The fact that they would have to still come up with a second way to control the game would probably turn a bunch of people off. If the second circle pad was standard then porting would be much easier, but i can see devs who make FPS games or anything that wants good camera control just skipping over this because it would be a pain to change things for not only the controls, but may change things in the game (making it easier or something because its not working like a second stick would)
I have to admit... its ugly XD
I really really really hope that we can also play this new Monster Hunter in a normal way even without using this thing.

If 3DS was a person it would be something like this:

Does that look like a normal person to you Nintendo?
BTW I am 99.9% sure this will increase the battery capacity, if you look at it properly, you can notice that there is something that goes into the power slot.
