While it's true that this opens up the system to more game styles, I feel like this means there will be even less 2D games now (as in NES/SNES 2D). I hope I'm wrong though, since I really loved the 2D games on the DS.
Meh. The slide pad, the aparently official name of the nub-cradle, is not a bad or good thing per se. It is how the developers will use it, if they use it at all, and how long before Nintendo either launch a 3DS with built-in nub or scrap the thing the problem.
This is nothing new...look at this goofy thing:

The Slide Pad is just a thing. Why do all these gamers have their tampons in a twist over this? Just being cunts?

I agree with Activision. Having a second nub IS a great idea... it just should have been a part of the fucking hardware to begin with.

Hmph, couldn't have said that better. This article was worth it for that line alone.

Ya know BrainWasherAttendent, I've seen WAY more people with their tampons in a twist over people complaining about nubageddon than I've seen actually have their tampons in a twist about the nub itself. This whole thing strikes me as a manufactured crisis.
And yes, I'm not complaining about the people complaining about people complaining. How very meta. We have to go deeper.

A decent Call of Duty could change a lot people's perspective on the console. Of course, that would mean Activision would have to put money into a portable release instead of crapping out a game as fast as it can. Don't know if Activision would be willing to take a gamble.
While it is activision so blah blah something evil blah blah
isn't this just another example of nintendo being stubborn.
And this time we have to suffer for it. I mean how hard could it have been to include 2 from the start.

Well of course Activision thinks its great, because just like I said before. I'm sure they had just as much to do with, this second stick in the west, as Capcom did in Japan. Now they can easily port COD to the 3DS, as it has all the buttons of a standard controller. Not even the PSVita can say that, because it doesn't have four shoulder buttons, as it only has two!
@PEICanada7: Except it have a multitouch touchpad in the back, which can behave as L2 and R2 easily.
I thought the 3ds would still be missing an L2 and i hate to argue about cod but what handheld would provide the better online experience that people buy cod for PEICanada7?

"Except it have a multitouch touchpad in the back, which can behave as L2 and R2 easily."
I really don't like the sound of that. It just seems too "I threw a grenade by accident" prone that it neededs to be.

@Fr33Kye
L2 is the cradle button, with the L button of the actual system working as L1.
It technically had 3 R buttons, which added to the numb makes symetry completelly absent on this thing.

Wha? I thought the R1 acted as R1 and the cradle added R2 and L1 was covered? I can't seem to find screens. And grenades can be a simple button press, the back touch screen can be for scope.

I don't like the back touch pad for anything like that. I extend my fingers when I play subconciously. I don't want to enter scope mode, thow grenades or virtually do anything with the touch pad in action intensive situations without me prompting it first with some other command first, like pushing a button.
I would rather go for alternative control options.

Actually it's sort of designed for you to hold it on the sides with it's indentations. and i meant that using two fingers on the pad would put you in scope and as you move them closer or farther apart you would zoom in closer but i guess that gets rid of quickscope. I think i'd have to hold one to know whether that would actually be an issue.
I see it does have a 4 buttons!

How can you not love this thing?
It adds functionality that the device should have had at launch, it costs more money, adds weight, makes the 3DS more bulky, uses batteries but doesn't act as a battery pack and allows the 3DS to retain it's delightful lack of symmetry.
Awesome!!!

"It does make the hardware more relevant and compatible to the style of games we make,"
so Call of Duty? cause i have no idea what other games Activision is publishing now.

Of course Activision would think its great..... its the equivalent of hardware DLC....
Want an additional analog stick, that'll cost you extra.
Hey you want decent battery life, we can sell you a battery booster for that.

shit, sofik told me the nub was only for monster hunter, akin to how the guitar hero peripheral worked for the DS.
I guess he was pulling facts out of his ass.

Oh! and here is where he said that..
The SuperNuby Boy is just a quick fix and expensive one on Nintendo's behalf. They really surprised me by the design of the 3DS, it looked dated from the first time I seen it, and all the problems with it since suggest very poor design and very rushed product. Hopefully SuperNuby will be incorporated in the next generation 3DS in a way it looks less shit.
Well he has a point. It does open up the platform to more styles of games. I have no idea how that can be considered a bad thing. Guess some people like style over functionality? I don't know. Bitches gonna bitch.
Nintendo just give up and release a new reversion with two nubs and a bigger battery(even if it increases the size of the 3ds)already.
Well the thing about it is that it's not the 2nd circle pad isn't great, its the fact that it should have been included in the 3DS' initial design.
What actually comes to mind with this thought is the fact that Nintendo REALLY IS trying to copy the motions Sony makes to some degree. I mean think about it: They did a "We're sorry" package situation somewhat like Sony did for the PSN crisis, and that really paled in comparison to what Sony did for a plethora of reasons, but even way before that, before there was even a hint there would ever be a problem with this, they designed the 3DS with 1 analog nub exactly like the PSP has -a design that people agreed pretty heavily about being bad for YEARS now and is only now getting fixed through Sony's NEXT handheld, instead of with a revision or peripheral.

Eggman. There is nothing inherent about western developers that would prevent them from creating great portable titles. Nintendo designed a bad handheld, the japanese are more focused on handhelds than the west, and the japanese tend to release games that care little for dual analogs because their games are still rooted heavily in the past.
IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BAD.
Fuck. Oh no, a $20 optional peripheral that can add new gameplay elements to the 3DS? The horror!
As long as it's used properly, which I can't imagine how it couldn't be, it'd be fine. Jeeesus.

Clunky battery powered piece of crap that adds a feature that should have been in from the beginning; yep, it is that bad.
What a bunch of whiners. This inexpensive add-on will actually be very useful compared to most out there. I don't get all the bitching. Should Nintendo have included originally? yes, totally. But now is better than never or the next hardware upgrade so stop bitching.
