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

[Slyakin]

I just think this whole idea is absolutely ridiculous, and I don't see what Nintendo is thinking...

It barely adds anything to gameplay, and makes current 3DS owners pissed off, potential 3DS owners want to wait for a new model, and non-3DS owners laugh...

Honestly, I don't see the point of being angry. It's a peripheral, therefore optional. If you want to buy a game that needs it, then you can buy it.

If you can afford a 3DS and games to go along with it, you can probably afford a 2nd sliderpad peripheral.

I largely agree with most of what you've said, but the bold portion? It offers better control options and some people actually prefer dual sticks compared to one + touch. In fact, this feature can arguably be said to be more useful than the 3D.

Note the arguably.

EDIT: added the word 'some'

Pretty much one of the main selling points of the Vita is 2 analogs.

Imagine if it only had one.

Not really, that just shows that it's not a gimmick, and just because it's not a gimmick doesn't mean it's "forced" on you, you're the one who chooses to play the games where it's mandatory.
Didn't want to, but if this not a gimmick, what is your position on the 3D of 3DS then?

It not even the peripheral that got me bothered. It is the fact that this may bring a revision quicker.

It's not about the $10... I could care less about $10... It's about how I bring my 3DS everywhere, and if I wanted to play MH or a game that needs this on the go, I basically can't now.

And the point of being angry is so hopefully Nintendo decides not to announce this thing, and pretend like it never happened.

@chris888222
Everyone acts like there is no way to control the camera without a second analog stick. I've been doing it fine since 2004 on my DS. Never had a problem with it. It's not that it doesn't add anything to the gameplay, it's a whole lot of hassle for something that isn't necessary.

I already told you and you know it. Either way, that is irrelevant.

 

[Slyakin]

If they're making a peripheral, chances are they're not gonna try to make a successor... Yet.

Nintendo's testing the "2 analog" waters. If it's a success... Who knows?

 

[Deleted-220713]

I just hope only A FEW games require the second circle pad, I don't wanna be carrying this attachment everywhere I go.

Haha, capcom has already confirmed that the slide pad accessory is optional and you can control with one stick just fine.

About the cradle though, I received my reply about it and they claim that it's just a sprawling rumor and that only capcom staff members are trying it (NoA still doesn't want to admit). They did say however, that MH Tri G is commonly asked about and they are currently discussing it.

Well my ideal is an XL with improved battery life and an integrated second stick and other stuffz.

I guess that's because I still have DSiXL jet-lag, though. You know what they say, once you go XL you never go back.

Wait. Really? Wow, that just breaks the whole argument.

And if this is really a rumor and it's only Capcom who's interested... Maybe Capcom should release this peripheral instead.

As long as no games need the attachment, that is perfectly fine.

However, if they release even one game that this peripheral is required for... I'm just going to say... "Nintendo!... You really grind my gears..." and end up not getting the game.

This is their actual reply:

We’re aware of the rumors circulating about the Nintendo 3DS, but we have nothing to announce or confirm regarding a redesign or change to the hardware, other than our plans to bring out a new Flame Red color.

Why? I'd welcome that with open arms. If 0 games required it then there would be less incentive to buy it.

It's similar to games that required the Wiimotion Plus, and those were fine.

All companies say that, no matter if they're releasing a new peripheral or the cure to cancer.

It's to make sure people don't take rumors as fact.

Nothing to confirm = Dead confirmed?

Just kidding.

Yeah, agree with ya.

 

[DiscostewSM]

If MH3G does come to EUR/US, then I'll probably get it with the peripheral.

If it comes down to it, and they do come out with a revision incorporating everything the peripheral comes with, I'll probably get it, transfer my games ans such over to the new one, and sell my old one. In such a case, I better keep my current one in good condition.

 

[KingVamp]

I guess since the attachment is optional and not mandatory, it is a gimmick. (Going by someone logic)

Anyway, I hope the game does come over.

 

[Ikki]

It barely adds anything to gameplay, and makes current 3DS owners pissed off

Meanwhile, two months ago: Every-fucking-one complaining about the lack of a second analog stick.

I'm saying lol.


Anyway now that I got a 3DS and seeing the rumors of MH actually coming on the portable, I am more than happy ^__^.
