Nintendo would have blown me away with a 3DS with 2 analog sticks.


People that play FPS/TPS are the ones that complain about lack of dual analogs. I dont know if you've played Metroid Prime Hunters but it controls great just using the pen. I cant really thing of any good reason for DA's other than FPS/TPS games but as I said the pen IMO is a better way to control(musch as I feel the Wiimote/Move are better).


IMO, any game with 3D game mechanics benefits from having a controllable camera, whether TPS/FPS or platformer, or action game, or RPG.  Have you played Assassin's Creed?  Did you ever use the second analog stick to reposition the camera?  Have you played Demon's Souls?  Ninja Gaiden?  Jak and Daxter?  Sly Cooper?  Shadow of the Colossus?  Are you telling me that you never needed to change the camera angle in those games?

I have played the Metroid Prime Hunters demo (I did own a fat DS), and while I did like the camera controls, I still prefer a second analog stick.  I did not like having to double tap the screen to jump, and I did not like having to tap the screen to change weapons/morph.  Plus, it could get a big tiring to play after a while (this was the old DS, so the DS Lite might be different).

Lastly, you say that people who play FPS/TPS are the ones who complain.  Guess what one of the biggest third party games for the 3DS is.  Metal Gear Solid.  And my money is on it being a TPS/FPS.
