Discussion has been had and can still be had, but this isn't the place for all that. If you see a preview which explains why Super Mario 3D Land is suddenly unworkable on the bigger system without the second analogue, do contribute...
Just be aware it must be DSi or DSiXL, shouldn't work with OG DS or Lite.All set with my DS charger.
My wife is not going to be happy when I buy one of these in a few weeks.
Still conflicted whether to get this or the original.
The screensize is awesome. I just really wish it didn't look so cheap. Horrendous looking device.
I do want this but if the circle pad won't work with it then playing some games will be kind of tough, no? I hope they settle that situation out soon.

Do you have a 3DS? Just tell her it increased in size.
OMG, it looks so good! Damn you Nintendo, this really should have been the initial model
Where's the Take-My-Money.gif when you need it?
You mean a couple games? I do agree it would be nice to have them address the issue but it's not a huge deal atm, and if it is then just wait and hold onto your normal 3DS+CPP (which works for me since I'd rather wait a bit and see if they at least come out with the white one).
Was there ever any mention of changes/improvements to the d-pad?
Well apparently at least two of the games I want to play use it, kid icarus and resident evil (I don't have a 3DS yet by the way). Also if the stand won't work then I don't know how I'll play kid icarus :lol
Agreed. This is why Nintendo never invorporated Motion Plus into the hardware SKU and also made the Wii redesign incompatible with it.They CAN'T add a second analog on the console itself, it would render the OG 3DS obsolete.
If the add the second analog, devs will feel obligated to use it for every game, and then people will have no choice but to buy the Circle Pad Pro.
The Circle Pad Pro is optional.
Devs who wants to use the Circle Pad Pro have to make it an OPTION, not the primary/only control scheme.
Thus making the CPP optional for people to buy and use.
I don't think the add-on even works with the XL. The 2nd slide pad was never an important feature.
Also this is fairly minor but I love that they went back to buttons for the volume control. Was not a fan of the slider.
exactly, they will make a new XL add on. fucking ridiculous.

PURE SEX!
I like how this has received way more positive press than their whole E3 show.
OG Game Boy was fine, but man everything after that is really true. 3DS is comparably better than GBA or DS were though.TAKE HOME MESSAGE: never buy the first iteration of a Nintendo handheld.
fixed for my situation; there are things you want buy (Wii U), there are things you must buy, and XL is one of them; all over my face!Will get this on the holidays and buy more games, instead of the Wii U...

Kid Icarus only uses it if you are lefty and Resident Evil plays fine without it imo.
Even when you learn, you still suffer the consequences of past acts...
You can kind of see why they kept the 3DS out of sight now!
Over shadows WiiU - and would be even more noticeable on stage with the line up in Q3/Q4.
So they made it bigger, but still never thought to throw on a second analog stick on there. "So sorry, you will have to buy the add-on to get that".
Fuck off Nintendo.
