Phantom Roxas Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 http://ds.ign.com/articles/119/1192682p1.html The expansion is hideous, and I think it's unnecessary. For those of you looking forward to Monster Hunter 3G, I'm sure you can get some enjoyment out of this, but I don't care about this. I don't think the 3DS needs to focus on replicating the experience on the GameCube. It should stick to modernizing the N64 experience. I'd say that the GBA was a portable NES, and the DS was a portable SNES. The 3DS doesn't need to be too ambitious and become a portable 3DS. It can stay as a portable N64, and this peripheral can just fade into obscurity and be rarely utilized. "But Roxas, the 3DS needs two circle pads! How else can it compete with the Vita?" It doesn't need two circle pads to do that. Stop thinking that it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 [i]How else can it compete with the Vita?[/i] It's [i]clearly[/i] already better than Vita without the second circle pad. Stop comparing the 3DS to Vita, all of you. Different library of games. It's the same concept for why people who aren't into fps, tps, or 2D fighter games don't buy a PS3, and likewise, people not into the "milked" Nintendo franchises don't buy a Wii. In any case, second circle pad has its use, definitely, but I don't see it being all too necessary. A D-pad provides enough control if you really needed your right-hand for some sort of movement, I'm fairly sure even shooter games on the 3DS would work without a second circle pad. It's a nifty little add-on, and people should buy it if they want, but it's not necessary. I wouldn't say it's a completely useless piece of metal, though.

burnpsy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm hoping this turns out like the guitar hero thing for DS/GBA Wireless Adapter, where it's optional/unnecessary except for the game it's bundled with. That, or they withdraw the idea after seeing the backlash that was caused by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice. Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 It's optional for Tri G. That said I can give 8 shits because I'm not buying it. Although the rumored extra battery life sounds nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Why would I buy TriG when Portable 3rd G will be infinitely better? And the expansion is ugly and will end up feeling straight up weird. EDIT: Besides, I play Freedom Unite and I claw perfectly fine on a PSP. How hard could clawing on a 3ds be, not just for TriG, but for 3ds games in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 It looks uncomfortable to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilhorus Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Might make Shooter games easier, but I guess it's unecessary, really. Might make Resident Evil etc easier to play. I wouldn't buy it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
