not sure. on one hand its just business yet on the other hand its backstabing the consumer, but IMOthey wouldn't be copying Sony cause they'd need Vitas whole feature set for that.

no i was talking about 3rd party. ok did i miss something?

yes 3rd parties. huh?

ok. just making sure i got it.

i think the only dif will be is the features they us for each handheld if Nintendo does add a second thum stick.

to play the role of the "sony copier" nintendo would have to put 3 analog nubs on the 3DS.  :P

I can't even believe people are actually considering this rumor...Nintendo isn't stupid there not going to add a second stick when the touch screen works perfectly fine to act as a second stick would.

Hasn't anybody played the Metroid Prime Hunters on the original ds?! Perfect Example of this control type! ANd I had no problem playing super mario 64 ds with a D-PAD! On the original ds...Jeez Portable games don't need a second stick developers need to be smart and design something thats supposed to be played on a handheld not a console.

All I want is the sequel to LKS to be ported to the 3DS. Seeing that the 3DS is slightly more advanced than the Wii (better shaders, double the polygon pushing capabilities etc) I don't see a problem with porting games from the Vita to the 3DS. If anything it will expand a publisher's audience and thus reducing the investment risk of game development.

I mean, copying the second analog stick WOULD kind of be an admission that great support is not tenable without one, whether it's true or not.  Nintendo wouldn't do it unless they thought it was really necessary.

M.U.G.E.N said: megaman79 said: There's a ton of ridiculous Vita publicity lately, and this is obviously ignoring one major factor, 3DS has more games announced for it. Looks like we can look forward to a whole year of this.  PSV is getting a lot of publicity because it's getting some really good diverse gaming support from various studios and we hear new PSV titles every week now.  it has nothing to do with the 3ds. why 3ds is not getting such publicity is a different topic. you don't have to 'ignore' it nor do you have to take notice of it.

Yes it does. The price of the 3DS has been one of the complaints about slow sales for the system since March, so yes, it is relevent to Vita.

I was referring to articles like about Sony saying the 3D in the 3DS doesn't work (it does, how petty can someone be to say this, especially after Sony commented 12 months ago that they'd "like to cooperate with Nintendo, rather than seeing the company "bash" the 3D experience seen through glasses." -http://www.industrygamers.com/news/sony-wed-like-to-work-with-nintendo-on-promoting-3d-message/).

since 3DS only has one analog stick and Vita has 2, wouldn't it be easier to port 3DS games to Vita? Just remove the 3D ad we'll see flood of 3DS ports on Vita!
