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

Some sort of local wireless connection maybe?

And drop the battery life to little more then 2 hours? Yeah right.
With such a close proximity I doubt it needs a strong radio signal. Besides having wifi connected to the net on only reduces the battery life about 10%.
Short range local wireless should be even less.

Wifi is wifi. As long as it is active, and recieving input, it is taking a lot of juice. Wifi, wireless. Both almost always active. Both run on different protocols. Streetpass, a background process. That's a lot going on.

There are people speculating it'll look like a cradle of sorts... it can work... maybe. It'll end as a clusterfuck though. =X

If this is true, I would wait the shit out for the inevitable redesign with this second analog already added.

Well, unless you want Mario:

Hey, I'm actually serious.

That argument one of the goddamn stupidest I've still ever heard. Ever hear of something call exclusives? Besides Mario?

Mario is one of the exclusives (a first-party exclusive). Most popular out of the rest.

Only a few would want a new console with dual analog simply just for the exclusive they like (unless you like all of them and hate/or even love Ninty's third party lineup).

Wait,what?

Streetpass is a passive process. Something active like a control input would take much more power (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). Knowing Nintendo wi-fi, your inputs would probably lag anyways.
That last part doesn't even make any sense.

What does exclusives have to do with a second slide pad? Even if you wait, (which maybe 1-2 years or never) you going to get them sooner or later.

For some reason, I had a really huge feeling that they were gonna make this the first time I heard 3ds only comes with 1 analog nub. Didn't know I was gonna be right. But the design.. holy fuck.

i had something like that for my ds ages ago it kept slipping out

Would it have been simpler if I had said that Nintendo wireless and wifi blows? They seem to have issues making it adequate to meet today's standards. It's like online is the plague to them and they just include it because they feel like they have to.

On topic: That picture is, uh, interesting. There goes that portability.

lol

Oh boy.... Is it in a cradle? Also, the 3DS now totally reminds me of a black D-Terminal from Digimon Adventure 02.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Why the hell didn't they put it there in the first place?

I've answered that question in basically every thread concerning this, including this thread. There was no room. Check any site displaying the guts of the system, or open up a 3DS, and you'll see why.

You may issues it online shop, but I have no problems wifi on the 3DS.

It was more of Miyamoto thinking that the gyroscope was a replacement for the second nub

 

[chris888222]

After looking at the cradle, at least now people with large hands won't need to complain.

Also, I don't think it's any larger than the DSi XL (or is it?)

 

[Snailface]

OH WOW!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

That looks like the ass end of Cape Canaveral.

lol

that's awesome!

Bad design then, they made it with the Vita, they could make it with the 3DS. They never tought people would want a second analog. +1 to Sony.

 

[Anakir]

lol

Lmfao. That looks just like it.
