Because the media likes to put pressure on Nintendo to conform to industry standards, and everyone has a hard-on for dual analogues for some infathomable reason...

One analog severely limits games. That's why people have hard ons. It opens up the possibility for much more different experiences.

wht the news it was going multiplatform? 

Nintendo should have thought about that before they decided to release the 3ds with 1 analog stick

..as if they didn't here the complaint's about psp's analog stick the whole time -_-

No. The fact that they had to downgrade the graphics from the bullshots :-p 

Because they were doing ecstatically with just a d-pad while ignoring the complaints of PSP's single analogue stick.

Haha, and if Nintendo does do the second analog stick, we'll hear "they copied Sony" for a year. This would amuse me greatly.

ok. ye so whts so bad about that?

Having the camera fallow you like in Zelda or using the touch screen or the gyro for FPS games do not need an extra team…

developers are taking whatever they can to say they can’t make the games on both platforms and or when it comes to Nintendo consoles. If the rumor is true and there will be an extra stick they will just blame the graphics power of the 3DS.

i know N64 had more buttons the near any controler.my thought has always been why not make games on psp and 3ds like they did foe the n64 controler!
