I think that the 3DS lite will have a second slider pad, a better battery life, and will be made of cheaper materials so Nintendo can make a decent profit off it, which is resonable.

They will make the hinges out of rubber bands and paper clips.
i'm holding off on buying one in hopes that the 3ds lite will release in a year or so. I hope for better battery life and a second analog nub. I doubt they will add the second nub because then they would have to add the extra shoulder buttons, and i cant see nintendo doing that, maybe i'm wrong.

Mostly tradition. It's only used when all other buttons are already in use. Once upon a time you couldn't navigate through the main/start menu of a game by using the d-pad, instead you had to press Select. It's a good thing that these days are a thing of the past. |
Yeah I know. But I meant the one on the 3DS specifically. Are there any games that actually use it? I have no idea.

Well, it needs to be there for full backwards compability with DS games. Even those only used it rarely, like the Castlevania titles to switch between map and status screen on the second screen. The Select button is really the last button any developer will use. Also, L+R+Start+Select should work as soft reset for 3DS games just like it did for DS games. |
Oh that's right, there's that reset thing. Don't think I've ever used it, but still.
Meh, next gen, they might as well get rid of the select button.

| Cheebee said: I just want them to put the start/select buttons in more comfortable places. Right now they're hard to reach when in an action-heavy game and you want to pause in the middle of, say, a heated MK7 race. The Home button's fine there, but the start button's definitely not. |
Can't the home button be used as pause on the 3DS? That's what I mainly use whenever I need to pause/silence Wii games.
Start is used as the menu option, and select is random.

No, they shouldn't get rid of it. It's tradition, it needs to be there. The Nintendo 64 and Gamecube didn't have a Select button and look how that turned out. |
Well the Wii didn't have one either, and that seemed to have done alright. It even got a real Mario game.

You need it for the Konami codes. |
Where's the "like"-button for this one!? :D old school!
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
RolStoppable said:
The +/- buttons are replacements for Start/Select, so that's why it worked. |
Ah, I see. How very sly of Nintendo. So what you're saying is, there doesn't really need to be a select button per se, as long as there's something in its stead that makes people think they have access to something similar.
