Am I the only early adopter that doens't have a problem with this? Although, come to think of it, most of the people complaining seem to not own the system.
Now don't get me wrong, I can see why people are complaining, but as long as two things happen, I don't care.
1.) No redesign untill the holidays in 2012....spring 2013 would be perfect. At that point, I would welcome a redesign with better battery life, a better (and yes, still 3D screen) and maybe a built in second analog stick.
2.) Nintendo comes out and says that this is not necesarry for any future games. I dont think its a bad peripheral, but it should be the 3DS's classic controller. Another option, but not in any way mandatory.
I'll probably buy it - it'll be nice for Monster Hunter and any FPS (Nintendo of America should package it with a Call of Duty, if they want it to do well). If I do get it it will be used exclusively for when I'm at home or maybe on long (plane) trips. The whole reason I like my 3DS (and don't want a VITA) is beause it's super portable and doesnt add to much bulk when I'm also carrying around a tablet (sometimes a laptop) and a cell phone. This attachment would kill that portability.
