To the people saying it would be hard to implement a second set of shoulder buttons, it really isn't. They could easily change the hinge design so that a second set of shoulder buttons would fit right above the current ones, higher up next to the hinge. It's not rocket science. It wouldn't make it any bigger (jesus the XL is big enough) and there's plenty of room on the right side for a second circle pad. If they're aware enough that people want the CPP for the XL but not aware enough to combine it with the XL, I don't know what to say. My faith in Nintendo to make simple, logical decisions seems to fall every time they make an announcement.
This is just ridiculous. So the poor saps who bought the 3DS at launch (or in anticipation for the ambassador scheme like me!), then got a Circle Pad Pro now have a 3DS XL dangled in front of them (Nintendo had denied a redesign was ever going to happen), and you have to buy another cheap looking bit of plastic so you can play Monster Hunter - a game that may probably never reach these collective shores - on a bigger screen and for a marginally longer length of time?
At least I'll be able to transfer my software over to the 3DS XL if I was to buy at, and that makes it a tempting proposition.

Considering the games that use the circle pad pro have control set ups, to allow non CPP use, I don't see how it could ever fracture the user-base, to have added another nub to the XL. Those with the original 3ds can either buy the CPP, or use a different control setting.
the dual nubbed 3ds isn't coming.
deal with it.
everyone keeps asking for it but it's a terrible idea.
nintendo clearly said that this wasn't an upgrade but a different version. adding a second nub would have been a problem for the normal 3ds, no one would buy it anymore.

Had the N64 or PSP had permanently added a second stick/nub, I would not have complained about an extra control option. The 3DS is in the same boat as far as I'm concerned.
There's not enough face-palm in the world to express my disappointment. Hey Ninty, why the hell just not do this in the first place? At least the Americans get a bloody charger with their 3DSXl.
Thus, the world split into two factions, The Mono Nubs and the Duo Nubs, and war was waged for all eternity.
No one likes buying extra stuff for their consoles. It's the reason developers aren't using that Nunchuck thing for the Playstation Move, thus killing off any hope for motion based non-minigames to flourish on the PS3. I can't see myself getting this, especially now that I've found a way of playing Kid Icarus without cramping my hands.
Yeah because adding in an extra nub on the already garmongous 3DSXL would have somehow been worse than adding a WTFBBQ gigamongus addon.
Maybe the third revision of the 3DS will finally get it fucking right.
I guess at least they finally fixed the horrible battery life the system initially shipped with. So that s something, right?

What witchcraft is this!?!?!?!

I couldnt care less about a second analog stick. It's obvious they were going to make a CPP for 3DSXL.

Just buy a Vita and quit caring about the 3DS mono-nub, you have options kids.

Not that I'm getting a new 3DS and its Circle Pad -- my Zelda 3DS is just fine thank you -- but I hope the thing takes more then 1 AAA battery.. Like 2 AAA batteries.. Cause thats a really funky number of AAA batteries to need when not all that many things need them in the first place (let alone 1, to go with the now loose battery you've got because of the CPP)
I find it funny that people are defending the lack of a 2nd nub by saying it not needed. True nextto no 3DS games properly use it but considering the biggest complaint about the PSP was that is only had one its strange that now people seem to be fighting to justify only 1 nub. Just goes to show Nintendo can do whatever they want and people will still throw money at them even if its exactly what those same people complained about a few years earlier
Have they at least got this mess fixed so it doesn't need its own friggin battery. That's the main reason why I'm holding out for a dual-stick 3DS, if it was just the ugliness factor, I'd happily go with an add on, but I can barely monitor one battery level.
How would adding a second nub to the xl split 3ds owners when they sell the add on for the original? Now if they didn't sell it for the first 3ds I would agree. (its like when the ps1 switched to multi stick)
....sounds pretty crappy to me. Bigger 3DS, bigger circle pad pro, more money for it all!!! Sometimes I really dislike Nintendo.

Sadly is does have to be a forced situation, it's the only way. If Nintendo were to release a 3DS with just an extra stick, it wouldn't replace the need for the CCP.

Just like the PS1. When twin stick controllers came out and many games accommodated both the digital and D.S. controllers, did people complain then? No. I just don't get where all this anti-stick snobbery is coming from.

I think miyamoto was talking form factor in regards to layout and feature set. The 3dsxl is EXACTLY the same as a 3ds but bigger, making it a alternate model and not a revision.

The psp had one non touch screen and one stick. The 3ds has 2 screens with 1 being touch AND gyro controls.
Without a second stick, it still has more imput devices than the vita. So not only is it not the same thing as what the psp went through, it isn't even a problem now.

"leaving all those mono-nub kids out there disregarded, lost in the cold."
Ok this bothers me, how exactly? Nubageddon I already covered that base.

I'd rather them admit they fucked up with the original 3DS, acknowledge they should have had a second analog stick, and put it into a redesign (even an unnecessary XL version) while still offering the accessory for early adopters, than to continue this bullshit.
"Hey, here's this $200 console, now give me another $20 so you can play games like you can on the competition... except for the higher resolution screen, the generational leap in hardware, and all the online features."
*Sigh* I wonder if I'll ever get a 3DS at this rate.

I love Nintendo but seriously, Sometimes they act like they dont want my money.. The smart thing to do here is have implemented a dual analog into the big phat edition.. Having a circle pad attached just makes the thing cumbersome and annoying to use... I swear if i was head of Nintendo *shakes fist*
