Should I wait for the 3DS redesign?

I think I might have over reacted. I know the add-on is just being shown for MH 3D but I just rushed to conclusion that this would usher in the redesign even quicker with the inclusion of another stick. I believe the 3DS redesign probably won't be released till spring 2013 like a few other people have suggested. That would be about 1 and 1/2 years since the original was released which puts it in line with the DS to DS Lite releases.

I am not entirely sure if this redesign will even include the second analog stick. I suppose we have to wait till TGS to find out more info and what Nintendo is going do about the entire situation. Even then they will probably not clarify everything. I wish they would just come out and state that this will be just an add-on for a few select games and that they will not be including a second analog in any upcoming redesigns. Even then that will piss people off that demand a second stick. So they are pretty much damned if they do and damned if they don't.

I don't think you overreacted, it would make sense that the add-on were to be used for more than just one game, and a second analog stick could be very useful for many games, as long as it become standard before a user base lacking it become too large, discouraging devs from using it. So if Ninty decided that second stick could be useful for more than just one game, it must redesign 3DS asap, because the idea is good, but that add-on is appalling.
