New model is coming out bitches, but it's got new hardware on the inside that's gonna be required for future games like the DSi.

So it's a required upgrade rather than something that's strictly for vanity. Also 3.5 to 6 hour battery life.

Still no second analog stick, which is stupid.

All you do is get the leather protector for the 3DS so it looks like some super nitche portable device that very few people know of. Wear your Google Glass while playing it too so you look super busy and "plugged in".

Durr durr I'm The Taint Reaper and I post stupid bullshit but not sources because they don't back up what I say.

It would appear that it has a second analog stick, and the new hardware is needed for "some" titles which will probably mean "hardly any" if it's like other poo poo like this Nintendo's had in the past.

What is stupid is the limit on times you can transfer your 3ds data to a new device, which isn't new to this.

that little pissant button is not a second analog stick, that's what we call an abomination.

Seriously look how tiny it is compared to the main stick, it's like the tiny guy from total recall.

They're re-releasing Xenoblade Chronicles for this new 3DS though, I guess Xenoblade did it. it's the First non-poo poo new Nintendo console franchise since the N64.

It doesn't need to be the same size as the other stick to be a stick or functional you disingenuous dipshit

It's way way way smaller, you ever used one of those little sensory nubs on a keyboard? it's going to function in the same way.

It's better to have two similary sized sticks just like the 3DS CC, Xbox 360 Controller, All the Dual Shocks, the Vita, etc.

You have literally no way of knowing that. It's just as likely that it will function the same as the normal stick, just being scaled down

it's an ease of comfort issue, and when you're 400 hours into monster hunter 4 it's going to become really apparent.

Because you have played 400 hours of monster hunter 4 on this new thing and came from the future to tell us

Regardless, your original assertion, that there is no stick, is false and stupid. Maybe it is super lovely, and we will see when it comes or, but it is still a stick.

Stop posting stupid bullshit, The Taint Reaper.

The trick is to use them in areas with a high density of adult nintendo gamers, like colleges and universities.
