3DS extra slide-pad + Monster Hunter 3G confirmed!

chris888222 · Sep 7, 2011

Anyway it can actually be true that this attachment may only come with this game - the huge words in Jap are something like 'Secret Solution! MH Tri G Control System'.

EDIT: I wanted to continue, but I have GOOD NEWS for everyone. Capcom has confirmed Monster Hunter Tri G, and also added that the accessory is OPTIONAL and there are various control options available in game!!!!

SAUCE. Sorry source.

Phew, it's good to know it's not mandatory. I may buy one to try, as it might be useful, but god it's ugly and I wouldn't wanna use it in public.

This explains why Capcom wanted to include dual analog as an option:

There is also, of course, the slide-pad attachment, which Tsujimoto called a “secret weapon” crafted so players could play 3G with the same control feel as the original Tri. “It feels really good holding it in your hand,” he said, “and its center of gravity is toward the front, so controlling it is a breeze.”

They are the devs, so they have tried the cradle. It would actually be nice playing this game at home with the cradle on, and out without. Thank you capcom for being so considerate.

I think it will be like classic controller pro, it´s not mandatory, and was made for playing monster hunter. I guess you will be able to play without this addon, just like MH tri.

This is what exactly capcom meant if you read the source.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for more info at TGS. it might actually be a great choice buying the cradle and playing it at home.

That is the dumbest looking peripheral I've ever seen outside of the Power Glove

Yes, even more so than that giant glowing dildo known as the Move.

WHAT?

Look how massive and awkwardly placed that thing is. How are you going to fit THAT in your pocket? Are developers supposed to develop their games for this peripheral and without it, or are they going to develop for just this one? What is this I don't even.

Just... seriously Nintendo, what are you thinking?

Fixing problems the ~~best~~ easiest, most frugal, least troubling [to make and sell] way possible

What is it fixing?

The 3DS has many problems, sure, but "Needs another analog stick through a butt ugly add on" was never one of them.

Is this made for the same three armed mutants that the N64 controller was designed around, because there is no way this will be comfortable to use.

Fixing claw disease. Cheap, possibly effective, probably easy to make, and mostly uncomfortable and not wanted.

But now that I think about it, I'd rather have this than claw disease. And I'd rather have a revision than this. In short, I want a revision.

Good and all, but I still see Capcom pushing Nintendo for a revision tho....

Wouldn't that make the rumor partly false because it not made by Nintendo.

Gahars · Sep 8, 2011

A revision could fix some things, sure, but really, the 3DS doesn't need another analog stick. There is simply no way that it will be comfortable and play well with the DS touch screen awkwardly sandwiched in the middle.

Plus, using both analog sticks and the screen... any games that focus on the screen (which is most) are going to suffer from this revision.

I appreciate Nintendo trying to rectify their mistakes, but making even bigger mistakes is not the right way to do it.

Oh, well never mind.

Scan the thread. Still not getting it tho.

Even if it didn't look weird.

I don't see how a second analog would at all remove the focus of the screen. I think it would be comfortable if it were a part of a revision, as long as they had an analog on both sides, it'd be like a regular controller. Only as a handheld.

Something like that you have to try to screw up.

I think they might've, this thing just looks stupid.

Monster Hunter wasn't perfect on the PSP but it played well enough and Japan bought it. A lot. The 3DS basically has the same control scheme as the PSP. When couldn't they do that again? Or use the touchscreen?

EDIT: If they're related...

chris888222 · Sep 8, 2011

People at capcom seem rather happy with the attachment. I admit it looks horrible, but I won't mind as long as it's comfy and effective.

I meant if it were to be included in the revision.

Though this does look like they put 0 effort into the design.

Zaiga · Sep 8, 2011

Oh my god Monster Hunter, I need it now

Although the peripheral does look quite ridiculous.

lufere7 · Sep 8, 2011

So it won't have extra battery right? then why is it so bulky? I'm inclined to thinking this is just a leaked prototype. Well, at least it looks comfortable C:

Honestly this comes to mind:

Paying extra for a single controller for a hand held? How can this be genius if the console is around 6 months old. The console is meant to last at least a few years (5+, looking at past consoles) and making new things for a few games is just.. well.. You just shouldn't do it at this point. Just look at the iPhone for example. Apple doesn't add new things to the old models, they make a new one.

-Qtis

ps. Making a game play better? Why didn't they request it in the first place. The add-on will most likely be about 50% more expensive for the company making the games for it if Nintendo doesn't add the option for every game to come. That'll also not happen very likely...
