Why the hell did they not put in a second analog for the redesign?

Nintendo probably doesn't want to splinter the market with some devs focusing on twin stick and forgetting that some users only have one.

My question is how will the larger screen effect battery life. The original 3DS didn't have great battery life so hopefully the XL will have a bigger battery to go with the bigger screen.

Oh and I hope the Circle Pad Pro is compatible or they better make a Circle Pad Pro XL.

Battery Life:

3,5 - 6,5 h (3DS XL)

3 - 5 h (3DS)

Numbers are from the Nintendo direct show.
