3DS Circle Pad

AAA batteries? You know how expensive those are? Fuck the circle pad.

Well then just buy a rechargeable AAA battery.

What? It even requires a triple A battery? It's inconvenient to the extreme.

Indeed, it sucks that we need batteries for these. I'm not sure how much battery this thing needs, or how fast it consumes energy, but the anticipated "3ds revision" (with the additional buttons) won't have a great battery life, if nintendo ever decides to release it (unless, that is, if we see a better battery in the "revision", which in turn, will increase the price...)

I heard that It runs for about 30 hours on 1 battery.
Which is great if you have rechargeable batteries.

Okay, so it actually doesn't consume that much battery. At least we won't be seeing a whole lot worse battery life on the so-called "revision"

Well since many people are against it, don't get it. It is not needed for the games it was made for so far. So do I believe that nintendo is going to make a revision with the a second one: No. As stated before it isn't a needed thing so far and developers will know that everyone isn't going to have it (look at MH3 for wii, you can use the nunchuks or classic controller. They knew everyone doesn't have/going to get the classic/pro for the game). I believe that they will still just be contempt with just one analog stick and make the game simpler for you if you have the circle pad.

Okay, this may sound dumb, but, why does Nintendo have to add a second circle pad for the 3DS when the touchscreen worked so well for shooters on the DS? That Circle Pad Attachment... it more or less turns the 3DS into a gamepad with a touchscreen. Okay, I understand that the Wii U controller looks good and all, but, still, making the 3DS like that sounds like a awful idea.

(And the Circle Pad's design still looks awful)
