Well, there are a bunch of other good RPG's for the 3DS if you are into them, personally I'd go with FE:Shadow Dragon or any of tbe Pokemon RPG's, but that's just me giving out a suggestion.

Yeah, F-Zero totally needs a new game, it's been lacking on since the Gamecube era, it's about time Nintendo introduced a newer game, maybe it will be announced next month.

I went to Gamestop to get a copy of Devil Survivor Overlocked, but they were sold out :mad:

However, I did manage to get a copy of Elite Beat Agents for $3.99!

I want a menu system in the next F-Zero where Captain Falcon constantly talks to you.

Something where you can just hit the home button during a game and see messages would be fantastic.

No competitor has such a range of characters and franchises universally adored - to the envy of Disney - or such a capacity to create new ones, as strong in the future. Out a portable machine dedicated to the game but equipped with one analog stick in 2011 was a mistake. The fact that we have recognized, and we do what is necessary to remedy this, let me suggest that 3DS has before it many years of success.
A second joystick for the 3DS? Wow!

It's sarcasm, it's dumb really, out of all things why a second joystick? If anything it should be more RAM or extended storage capacity, but I guess it's just a rumor so there's no reason to get worked up about it.

Don't really understand how they'd even go about adding a second analog stick at the last minute anyway. But like you said, not really a big deal. Only genre that dual analog sticks are absolutely necessary at this stage is FPS. But even then, Metroid Prime hunters' approach to that was pretty well done in my opinion. Using the touch screen as "second analog" of sorts.

More RAM? What for? No one gives a **** about more RAM on a portable gaming console. More storage capacity? Just buy a bigger ****ing SD card.

I think it's funny that the DS sales were just fine--and by "just fine" I mean "explosive"--with *NO* analog sticks, but apparently the problem with the 3DS is that it only has one. No, the thing about the 3DS is that it doesn't have a true killer app yet (OOT3D is the closest thing and it's a remake).

I normally don't like making predictions (the smug satisfaction of being right does not outweigh feeling like an idiot when you're wrong), but I feel safe with these two:

1. Between the price cut and the upcoming SMB/Mario Kart stuff, the system will turn around, no redesign or second stick necessary. (You can bet 4DS will have double-analog, though.)

2. Iwata's going nowhere. That'd be like firing Miyamoto, srsly.

I don't understand why more developers don't jump on the 3DS. There's almost NO competition in terms of good games.

Probably sales concerns. Why develop for a console if it's not widely adopted yet? (Of course, this leads to fewer sales for said console, cue vicious cycle.) They might be holding out for Vita, IDK.

I think some companies are holding out. Ubisoft stopped development of AC for the 3DS and are now making it for the Vita.

The 3DS doesn't need a second analog stick as much as it needs multiple functions. Yeah it has Netflix, but we're restricted to wifi, when everything is 3G or "4G" these days. Not sure how great the screen is for watching movies or streaming videos. Music player? Usable apps? And can we please get some efficient way of chatting/messaging other users rather than some lame "add my code" nonsense?

But I ask you this, why a ****** second joystick??? Would you support that ****? I wouldn't, and if it did Nintendo won't ever be getting a cent from me concerning a 3DS, The Vita is where it's at.

Say wha? The 3DS has a music player.

Also, I don't think it "needs" multiple functions. It's a video game system, not an Iphone. what it "needs" is some games.

The 3DS would've been amazing had it delayed the launch until Christmas. Between a release lineup of Starfox 64 3D, OoT 3D, Cave Story 3D, Super Mario 3D, Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus Uprising, etc., and NOT competely screwing over the timing of Pokémon 5th gen, it probably would've drawn some pretty nice sales. Oh well.

Wait, you're saying a second joystick on the 3ds would be a bad idea?
I'm not completely sure if they should but, It would be very nice for a Fps.

I fail to see how, in the 21st century, two control sticks would be a bad idea.

If Ninty had a two thumbstick 3DS from the beginning that would've put them in a really good position against Sony.

It's too late to do that now. Making games that required dual analog control screws over the suck-ups that already bought a 3DS.

Personally, I'm still not sure how a secondary stick would even interface with the 3DS.
