Cause nintendo were too cheap/stubborn to build in a second analogue pad into the 3DSXL.

Though I guess there are also the 2 extra buttons, but do any games really need them?

I said the same thing about a second analog stick.

I said the same thing about a second analog stick.

I was basically asking if any games actually use them. (the grammar for that makes sense in Greek I guess).

oh come on dude, you can't tell me there aren't many type of games that don't need 2 analog sticks?

I can't ever find anyone to street pass where i live.


This generation of handhelds has been kind of forgettable :/

Really? The Vita might be my favorite handheld yet. Love it. My 3DS experience has been pretty forgettable.

I had actually forgotten about the Vita for awhile, it doesnt seem special.

The only ones that come to mind are games with shitty auto cameras and twin stick shooters that actually let you utilize more than 8 directions of fire. FPS you can do better with the stylus controlling your view, IMO. Or if you really want to do everything face, you can do it N64 style, with ABXY being movement, analog stick being aim, and shoulder buttons being fire and action, and the D-pad controlling ancillary functions like weapon swapping.

Yeah I think the stylus was a great way to control the camera too on DS games but here's my problem: I'm left handed. So by default, any game that uses the control stick and the stylus I can't play. Heck even with that monstrosity I wouldn't be able to play it, cause holding the 3DS + add on from the right with one hand would be too much of a strain on my hand.

So for me a second control stick would be important for that alone. Ofc Nintendo couldn't care less for the 10% of the population so I'm screwed.

I am also left handed. But playing games like Kid Icarus worked out just fine playing right handed. Certainly not as precise with my right hand, but I got the job done. That said, I definitely get pain in my right wrist when gripping a stylus for a while... Meh.
