3DS extra slide-pad + Monster Hunter 3G confirmed!

[Hyro-Sama]

An Add-on is so fucking stupid. Just wait for a year and watch Nintendo release a new 3DS with the new buttons already built into the handheld. Waste of money. Hopefully Monster Hunter can make up for that.

this looks funny.. see how it works and price now

The top screen is a 3D screen. If it's a touch screen, not only would it be terribly impractical, but it'd probably mess with the 3D.

That is the exact reason why they didn't make the lower screen able to display 3D. It would ruin the effect far too much.

That and it would drain the battery even more, to a point even I be like "want more power!!!!"

Still time for redesign.

Ambassador or Redesign?

This is Nintendo screwing all current 3DS owners over.

Hopefully the final product (of the grip) won't be as bulky.

If a redesign with it's own 2nd analog slider and extra shoulder buttons comes about, it's only because this peripheral came along. Without it, there's no reason to make a revision incorporating them.

if nintendo released the screenshots then that is probably the final design unfortunately

Remember when Ninty first showed off the DS during an E3 event? The design was different in comparison to what we know of as the DSphat.

And how do you suppose that makes sense? Why would they make a redesign due to the release of a peripheral they're shelling out money for rather than shelling out less money to just make a new system (so to speak, it's a relaunch not a redesign).

How is this killing the 3DS? It's just a peripheral, just like the WiiMotionPlus was to the WiiMote. Chances are, it won't be needed for most games, but it's something nice to have.

But then that's just me, babbling on like the idiot I am.

With a console, sure. That's fine... No harm in attaching a little thing to a Wii Remote. Just a pain because you have to buy it.

With a handheld... completely different story. The handheld is now 2x the size.

You are not required to buy it. Nintendo isn't forcing the product down your throat. If you don't like it don't buy it.

I'll wait for official stuff at TGS before really confirming the size of the cradle.

It still looks like it can fit in a bag, and you can always separate the console and the expansion. Adding a second slide pad and the R2/L2 buttons sounds like Nintendo's trying a different audience.

Then again, I don't really look at a handheld for how good it looks. I guess I'm just weird like that. :/

Well, if it is required for specific games, they are forcing it down your throat.

@Slyakin
Of course it can fit in a bag... I'm a guy. I don't carry a bag around with me.

 

[DiscostewSM]

In all honesty, the picture makes it look bigger than what it probably is.

I believe this as well. I think devs or at least Capcom want this more than fans do actually.

BUY IT NAOW ;3

Yeah, it could be required for some games, but it could also be like the WiiMotePlus in the sense that the games that use it are rather small in quantities.

Not really, that just shows that it's not a gimmick, and just because it's not a gimmick doesn't mean it's "forced" on you, you're the one who chooses to play the games where it's mandatory.

I just think this whole idea is absolutely ridiculous, and I don't see what Nintendo is thinking...

It barely adds anything to gameplay, and makes current 3DS owners pissed off, potential 3DS owners want to wait for a new model, and non-3DS owners laugh...

Yeah, what was Nintendo thinking trying to make Camera control easier by releasing an optional product no one's forcing us to buy that could possibly open up a multitude of new gameplay options. The nerve.
