Nintendo are relaunching 3DS--the lower price point and new advertising campaign are a big part of that, so will new software announcements in a few hours time. A second circle pad model will not be part of that. It is not relevant, was not a factor in 3DS's slow start or in the cancellation and delay of third party games. I don't have a particularly high opinion of the majority of games journalism at the best of times, but this farce with 3DS and the second circle pad peripheral has made me ashamed of my hobby. There should be more reasoned, informed and mature games journalism available to counterbalance the hysterical tripe that has flooded the net recently.
If Nintendo do announce a new model of 3DS at this press conference, I will know for sure they have lost their heads, because they'll be playing to the crowd they will never be able to satisfy. If they stick to their original hardware for 3DS, stick to the new marketing campaign, continue to improve the eShop and work hard to organise an aggressive, full release schedule of first and third party software, 3DS's recovery is assured.
