Forums - Nintendo - (Rumor) french site strikes again: New 3DS model in 2012 with dual sticks

many people still believe that the drastic price cut on 3DS means Nintendo is hiding something... not an unreasonable conclusion tbh.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

I want a magic analog stick that I can randomly place on the casing of a device and suddenly have it work.

The same website who's say Sony was cutting ram to half.

This is bullshit.

Dual stick, seems like a stretch, but why they didn't when surely they saw all the flack Sony got from not putting 2 on the original PSP.

BUT i could see them releasing a cheaper version with no 3D and better battery life, there are alot of people not interested in 3D or cant even see 3D that are just put off from buying it as it seems like a waste of money for such a big feature they wont use. I think a £100($125) 3DlesS would sell very well indeed, but i also think they need to wait to see what happens hen they have software.


a 3DS without 3D?????? what would they call it then :?



Intel Core i7 3770K [3.5GHz]|MSI Big Bang Z77 Mpower|Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866 2 x 4GB|MSI GeForce GTX 560 ti Twin Frozr 2|OCZ Vertex 4 128GB|Corsair HX750|Cooler Master CM 690II Advanced|

A new model or 3DS lite will eventually come since there`s a lot Nintendo can do to improve the console. Adding a dual on this future model would be good since games like shooters would play better.
The first PS controller didn`t have joysticks at all. So, adding another joystick to a new 3DS isn`t that strange. As long as games that support it do come after, it`s fine.

The "Nintendo 3D less" of course.

Seriously though it would be a marketing nightmare for them, but 3D its an expense the casual crowd that made the DS a success couldnt give a shit about. They need cheap hardware that there not selling at a loss with better batterylife they could do that by ditching 3D, no game requires 3D to play and they never will. Ill say again tho they shouldnt do anything drastic till they actually have software out. 

Like Sony with the success of the PS2 they were greedy, they thought they could release overpriced hardware with no software and people would buy it just because they had market dominence in the last Gen. I only hope they can do a good a job as Sony has in turning the PS3 around. 



I'm sorry but what besides FPS/TPS is the second stick used for? I'm trying to recall PS1 games using it effectively, but I just can't.



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

And change name from Nintendo 3DS ... to Nintendo Morte.

to be release in tima with PSP VITA!



Switch!!!

Why are you comparing a modern day console to a PS1 ???

Lots of games use it these days in all genres

One stick controls movement, the other controls the camera. It's a pretty basic setup that is used in about 90% of all action titles.
