Fundamental differences and similarities between the 3DS and NGP

[Euphoria14]

3DS still utlizes the resistive touchscreen which requires a stylus while the NGP goes with capacitive touchscreen which works with a simple touch of a finger.

I honestly think that needing a stylus is a con in this day and age. Not easy to swap from face buttons to touchscreen on the fly when not using capacitive.

 

Another nice thing is that rear touch pad because it is multitouch if I am not mistaken, easily enabling each side to simulate L2 and R2 for shooters like Call of Duty. I also think it can be pressed inwards as well, which gives it the "pressure sensative" feature found on home console gamepads as well as the other buttons on the device.

NGP just brings so much more possibilities to the handheld space.
