This thing is weird... Hopefully we'll find out for sure what's going on in Ninty's head comes September 13th.

So let me get this straight.

Nintendo is taking an already big, bulky and ugly(to an extent) handheld. Making it bigger, bulkier and a bit more ugly... Whoa, nice plan.
This.
It would have been better if it already was there in the first place or make a new version of it that include the extra joystick + some extra stuff of some kind?

After having a good night's sleep, I'm more calm about this whole situation.

Even if games could use it, they can't make it a requirement, so developers will still have to design games without the peripheral in mind. Doing a lackluster job with control schemes not using the peripheral would have a negatively profound impact on an already problematic situation.

Concerning a possible revision, with this peripheral, it also includes an R2 button, right? For Nintendo to incorporate something like that, they'd have to make the revision extra thick to accommodate that, negating the possibility of a Lite version. If they are gonna thicken it up that way, they might as well make the entire thing bigger so it isn't as awkward, making more of a reason that such a revision will instead go the way of an XL edition.

I'm not one to normally rage or anything but this is honestly the dumbest F****** idea I've ever seen
Fragmentation is a bad thing and now i'm going to miss out on games because I don't want to carry around a 3ds the size of a atari lynx?

Way to make your customers feel important, specially if a hardware revision is right around the corner.

Exactly. This is not a compulsory add on accessory. It just adds on to control options.

Finally someone calm enough to understand the situation.

It looks like it makes the whole system more comfortable to hold, and if it has extra battery, then I'm all for it.

But I'm still waiting for a year to see if they announce a new 3DS with all this built in, and hopefully with bigger screens.

Now could it. This is just a theory. Be basically a DS Game card with a ds game card built in? (inception) Thus allowing the inputs to work and allowing you to play your games. I mean its big enough as it is.

Agreed so much on the second part. New 3DS with this built in, looks better and better battery. Would be awesome and count me in.

Yeah, the 3DS is the second smallest DS model next to the Lite. Slips into my pocket easily.


As for this news...

uh...


what?


I understand that Monster Hunter is big in Japan, but was it really worth creating an Osbourne Effect and messing up consumer confidence for the next year or so? Nobody will want to touch a 3DS until a model with 2nd analogue built-in comes out. If Sony has a brain they'll have a marketing field day with this.

It adds, in a bad way. The only way this doens't ends being one of the most ridiculous thing Nintendo ever produced is if the rumored price by 01net ($10) ends being true, making this "easy" (as in cheap) for them to bundle it with games like the recently announced MH or a Nintendo 1st party.

The thing has not only R1/R2, but an L2 too Discos.

If the rumor is true (10 bucks), it's a worthwhile add on to me.
If more than $20, I'll be boycotting Nintendo for good. (unless it comes with battery)

! But, I hope they sell the battery seperately for a reasonable price.

As long as it feels comfortable and makes my gaming experience more enjoyable, then im up for it. I'm not really into aesthetics you know, as long as they do it right. Plus it's an accessory so I can remove it any time I want it.

Will never happen. It's not a compulsory accessory anyway. They are just going to ask you to take it out and put your case back on.

Tomorrow I'll email Ninty over this, let's see what replies we'll get.
