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

[chris888222]

Seriously though, I don't think an analog add on is killing the 3DS (or it's users)

 

[Astoria]

Well it's confirmed that Monster Hunter Tri-G will need the addon

It's not need, but rather utilize.

Uh no, source? It's confirmed it makes use of it, but there's no proof the game will require it to play. Most likely the game will have two control scheme options depending on whether you have the accessory or not.

This may actually make porting PS Vita games to the 3ds faster. Since you won't have to chance the control much.

I'm betting however the original version of this device won't leave japan. Nintendo will ended up releasing a revision 3ds first and leave 3rd parties to make their own versions of the add-on. IMO the touchscreen should only be used for inventory, items, equipment ect and maps. I found many ds games frustrating with the touch screen mandatory used for actual control beyond maps/items for games. Nintendo is finally learning basic non-gimmicky controls are best. If they do the basic control route for the wii u, the 3ds may not be my last Nintendo system after all.

well nintendo does it again 3Ds for the WINNNNNNNNn

That thing looks too bulky to be just an additional circle pad. I'm assuming that this also boosts battery life.
Regardless, I'm waiting for the inevitable 3DS rehash coming soon.

 

[LTK]

I bought the 3DS on release. They will bring out a rehash soon, I am pissed off.

 

[FireGrey]

01net was right again??? gosh.....

btt:
I think Nintendo will make this optional for some games, still, enough is enough, Im getting a Vita and might sell my 3DS. At least there I know whats in the box and it will get supported for a long period.

Then you will be making the same mistake over again.
You should't rush into buying these things.
Who knows the Vita could have big issues.
So wait it out.

 

[BloodWolfJW]

horrible add-on, by far.

 

[Ben_j]

huh... it's a joke, right ?

 

[AlanJohn]

I expected a nice slick magnet add-on right next to the YXBA buttons..

Oh well, lets just hope it will increase the battery life a lot and enhance the online experience.

 

[MakiManPR]

Enough off-topic guys.

Ok, Nintendo, just get out the 3DS Lite or something and be quick with it. I can't see the 3DS suffer like that anymore.

Lite??!! WTF no. The 3DS is too little, I want and XL version

From what I can see, the add-on uses the 3DS' ir port to connect to the system, thus why it covers so much of the back. It also means the add-on will have its own battery. I must say, though, that the design's lacking for something made by Nintendo. It looks like something out of the 90's. However, I think it'll be ok. I think my 3DS is kind of thin, to be honest.

Tbh I feel that the DSi XL is more comfy on the hand than the 3DS.

The add on will be perfectly fine. I'll wait for more info to come first. Likely it will come with it's own battery.

This is just...wtf. Is this for real? This makes my 3DS look like a giant piece of plastic when I take it out of my pocke- ...bag.
Now whenever you take out your 3DS to check out your streetpass meetings or to play your games, people will see that GIANT piece of plastic.

Unless you're just going to play this indoors, then it wouldn't matter at all. Then again, I don't see how it's going to be called "portable" anymore. It can't possibly fit in a pocket, unless your pocket is really huge.

I will never put ANY of my portable gaming machines in my pocket, that'll scratch em hard.

 

[Satangel]

Add-ons suck. The Wii made me realize this, I hate them from now on. I'm looking forward to the first 3DS revision, it's bound to happen.

 

[spotanjo3]

Nah.. I will wait for 3DS lite or a brand new 3DS with second joystick.. Wise decision to save money for the next one.

Yeah, but you see, other people do. Especially children. This isn't really portable anymore unless they redesign the 3DS with the second slide pad on it already.
