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

[machomuu]

I guess since the attachment is optional and not mandatory, it is a gimmick. (Going by someone logic)

Anyway, I hope the game does come over.

At the current time that is exactly what it is, yes.

You say it as if it were a negative thing, though.

Also, it's not "my" logic. I just did the research, followed the facts and posted it here.

I don't know if this idea was suggested, but I think that the Slide pad should be a slide in and out like the old DS Stylus placement, but it'll become a bit thicker. They could also put an armored case for the top screen for no reason at all.

I'll definitely buy it, as long as it has an upgraded battery pack, more power than PowerPak+.

Have a good day.


PS: I never played Monster Hunter, but by taking a good look at videos it looks addicting.

It barely adds anything to gameplay, and makes current 3DS owners pissed off

Meanwhile, two months ago: Every-fucking-one complaining about the lack of a second analog stick.

I never heard anyone cry for an analog stick / slider on the old DS. Camera control was fine on DS. Why is it that the 3DS must have a 2nd slider? It's just a trend and cool now to whine about anything Nintendo.

It's really easy: If you think you really need a 2nd slide pad, buy it. If you think camera control on touch screen or whatever works for, don't buy it. You will see that it will always be optional when even the game (MH) it comes out for doesn't demand it as mandatory. And it's not like the WM+. When that came out it was mandatory for Wii Sports Resort. With this "cradle" the developers will always come up with different control schemes.

On a side note: Nintendo betrayed us all. Let's go to Nintendo HQ and burn them down

No fanboyism but - since the PSV has em everyone were angry that Nintendo didn't incorporate it.

Guys don't bother posting, it's become a trend for every other fan to whine about a particular company, if they don't have something that their fav company is getting. Like I said before, the 3DS needn't follow the Vita's road. It's fine as it is. Extra C-Pad is NOT required.

If 3DS owners really are bothered with this, then answer my question:- Why did you buy a 3DS in the first place? To continously whine about lack of stuff?? I'm sure after this C-Pad scenario is done and out. People will start complaining about 3DS getting no games, 3DS 3D being stupid because they can't see it, small screen etc etc list goes on.

I wonder what complains will take birth when Vita releases??

Back Touchpad troubling?? Vita lacking R2,L2, R3 and L3?? Pfftt.

Exactly, the 3DS was fine until all saw the two analog sticks on the PSV. The 3DS was and is still fine with one slide pad. They really made this 2nd slide pad for all those whiners and they still aren't satisfied.

Basically trendy whiners whine about Nintendo. If Nintendo adresses their problem, they still whine...

So who comes with me burning Nintendo HQ down?

We can whine about the Vita when it comes, that'll settle the score

Camera controls were "fine" on the DS because they never built games like that. A common issue with the PSP, on the other hand, is that devs tried shoehorning a dual analog type control scheme onto a system with one analogue (commonly it would be analog nub + Square/Circle/Triangle/X). It didn't work terribly for some games but you could tell it was a far cry from dual analog controls.

And to say the peripheral adds nothing to gameplay is pretty much a sign of ignorance. It's still completely retarded looking and seems like they just forgot to incorporate one on the 3DS originally, but dual analogs certainly adds a lot. It's as though you've missed console gaming over the past 15-some years (PSX to now).

A scenario of two people playing a competitive FPS game against each other. One person using the peripheral, the other isn't.

P1( without ): "Dude, you look embarrassing with your 3DS attached to that block."
P2 ( with ): "And you getting your ass handed back to you with this 'block' isn't?"

As "silly" as it may look, if it enhances/improves gameplay, then what's the problem?

does anybody play cod on the wii?????? do you not realize that they made a classic controller.... and they also use MOTION CONTROLLLLLLLLLL . i prefer motion control and will smoke anyone im going against that is using two joysticks.... motion control is where its at, and thats just how it is... but i do like having the option for another analog instead of just having them say " um you dont need those buttons just pick up a stylus and use the touchscreen" i friggin hate touchscreen aiming though it does work, i would rather have access to the axby buttons with the use of motion for the right analog....

edit: not implying that the classic controller has motion control.. though it does look like i said it that way lol.

Is it possible to install updates for cart based content on the 3DS? Because I was thinking it were possible, they could release updates for the control schemes of games that are already out so that they can use the extra triggers and slidepad.

I really don't know because I don't have a 3DS(yet

)

Really not sure about that, considering the games themselves are ROMs (save RAM is not ROM, but that area is small). However, if it is possible to have the updated code binary installed on the 3DS's flash memory and that is loaded to RAM instead of loading from the card, it could work that way. Save data could remain the same, but anything the new binary introduced could reserve it's own small save area on the 3DS's flash memory.

Whether or not the flash memory is allowed for such an operation is an entirely different subject.

Like i said before, ill wait for the 2nd or 3rd 3DS version, like 3DSi XL or something. The possible addition of a second slide pad as well as bigger screens is well worth the wait and this news prove that there is a market for it with this addon.

I'll only stick to that if Nintendo's a real promise breaker.

Anyways if a redesign were to come out THAT soon (and with dual sticks and better battery), I'll trade in my old and get a new one and also tell myself that this is the last Nintendo system I'm going to get.

Not sure if this got asked and answered or not but i'm surely not reading through 38 pages of this discussion to find out

How would the additional butons work on the expansion? I was thinking something like action replay style, the addon slips in the game slot then the game slips into the back of that.

If anyone knows if thats been discussed yet just link me to the page it's on if possible

It is likely using the IR. The 3DS DOES have a built-in IR port, right?

We can't confirm this though, we'll need to wait for TGS for more official stuff.
