3DS price dropped to $170

It is a little smaller than the big one that comes with the LL, but still feels really comfortable to use. The best part is it can actually attach to the LL itself, using the cell phone strap attachment area.

Hmm, that's a good idea. It's hard to believe but I've had my hand cramp up a few times when using the little stylus. That's usually with stylus intensive games like Spirit Tracks/Phantom Hourglass.

You're not alone. Phantom Hourglass always made my hand cramp after about an hour or so of playtime.

I got a DSi LL a few days ago. It is so damn cool. Huge screens that look great and the volume is very loud! I now have every model of DS and the LL is easily my favorite.

How much have you spent on all four DSes?

He only has four?

WTF? Now I am REALLY glad I waited

I AM SO VERY SHOCKED

/OBVIOUS SCARCASM

The new version will "radically tone down" the system's 3D features, possibly rebranding the machine entirely. It was suggested that the recent price cut was planned partly as a means to get rid of stocks of the launch 3DS, clearing the way for a successor.

Man this is just pure gold. Way to fail hard Nintendo, good game. And the dual analog thing sounds GREAT, but probably terrible for current owners! Way to royally screw those people over. How the fuck is that going to work with developers now too? "This game like any 3D game will be great with 2 analogs... oh wait the original 3DS's don't have one!"

Way to fail hard so hard, wow.

Nintendo releases a new portable every fucking year. That's no surprise.

What is a surprise is adding a second analog stick, and maybe even removing the 3D altogether. That would be excellent. Those changes, along with larger screens, better battery life, louder speakers, and better stylus placement, and we can finally have a good new Nintendo portable.

[Xeogred]

Yeah, but are they going to overprice it? Probably.

How are developers going to cope with the old model that lacks a second analog?

What a flop. At this point the original 3DS may as well be a glorified regular DS with a few more features and that's it.

EDIT: Okay, I see the second analog is detachable for old models or something... have fun buying that though, lol.

[MrPopo]

Yes, let's get our panties in a twist about unsubstantiated rumors.

[Anayo]

Am I the only guy who LIKES the 3D effect?

What a BS rumor. Add-ons, no 3D, blah blah blah. Yeah if they did that they'd mess up the install base (though not that big).

The next system is gonna be like the DS Lite, smaller, better screen, battery life, etc.

[ZeroAX]

wait did I link something in Greek? Nope it's English. Then why didn't people get that it said that 3D won't be emphasized not that it will be removed.
