meh just release a XL second stick attachment like the 3ds has now.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

They could make the 3ds XL thicker. To accommodate the extra shoulder buttons. And use the space for a better battery. But nope.

they could but that is a catch22. because people would complain it is too fat and people would probably be bashing it callingit a portable gamecube or soemthing silly.

This is why our cell phones have garbage battery life. I would take a phone that is thicker, and lasts for 10 hrs (at full usage). Over 4 hours of crap.

I personally think we have kind of platoed with physical battery capacity. Battery tech needs to improve, otherwise next generation of phones will last 1hour at the size they are now haha.

Maybe it'll be slim... or not... this will be interesting.

Good. Now if they ever do decide to redesign the 3DS a year or two down the road they can just add the second pad (shoulder buttons too if possible). As long as every 3DS has the option of a second circle pad, no worries. I hope more developers start looking at the 3DS for their 3D graphic games/games suited to two analogs, instead of by-passing the system or altering their game.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I am so confused, Nintendo, I'm so confused

I don't understand why they didn't just put it in if they were gonna release a CPP. I think it is very likely that they will make a 3DS with a second circle pad included, so they might as well do it now.

sshh!! you'll attract the Ninty fans who will jump down your throat and give you all kind of silly reasons why what they did was a good thing. My fav is the screwing over early adopters, even though it would be an OPTIONAL control method. Between me and you i think they should have added it. But this is Ninty and i knew they wouldnt, we can at least take solace in the fact that they have some sort of solution unlike PSP(but on the flipside if they saw how PSP handled they should have had it day one)
