I'm happy with MH Tri G, not sure about the second slide pad :S

[Hank Hill]

Uh...that slide pad looks really, really well photoshopped...for two reasons.

A: It's way too small, and not flat enough.
B: It looks...crimped near the top.

And the Monster Hunter thing...if it's true, it's great. But it would seem to me that the 'G' looks...out of place. It'd be more like the '3' wouldn't it?

[Biohazard]

The second slide has been confirmed.

On one hand, I'm glad Nintendo didn't redesign the 3DS. On the other, I'm not sure how many games will support the peripheral. Nintendo normally doesn't force developers to make games with their devices. I can live with one slide pad, as I did with the PSP.

[BazzDropperz]

Wow this is crazy.

The reason it looks sorta weird is because it's a photo of a curved magazine page. It's also called the Circle Pad, not the slide pad.

I've never played any Monster Hunter games, but it seems that they sell bucketloads wherever they go. So a Monster Hunter for the 3DS can surely be nothing but a good sign. I heard that Monster Hunter was the sole reason the PSP continued to sell well in Japan for the past while. Is the series worth getting into?

Yes, yes it is.

I'm definitely excited for Monster Hunters on the 3DS, and the second circle pad does solve the problem for lefties playing Kid Icarus. I'm also glad the second circle pad is next to the ABXY buttons and not bellow them, as I can't imagine it being comfortable holding the 3DS by the lower right corner.

I don't believe it, I'll just wait for September 13 to see what all the hype is about.

[Bill Cipher]

Uh, what is this monstrosity?
I really hope Nintendo can compensate us 3DS users who bought the oringal.... If we don't get compensation for this, I'll be ticked off.

I am happy that Monster hunter is coming to the 3ds. I hope it comes here. The second circle pad is something i may get if it works well. Developer should provide the option to use different control schemes. One option being the 3ds without a second analog stick and another is the one with the analog stick. just wish Nintendo made the 3ds like this before tho.

[AMAC]

Sorry, but this second circle pad looks bad. It doesn't look like the 3DS will fit easily into pockets with this and there's no chance of it fitting into the cradle with this. It is starting to look like Nintendo will be launching a redesign of the 3DS soon. As one of the 3DS' early adopters, I'll be seriously annoyed if Nintendo charge a lot for this peripheral.

I'll only consider buying this if lots of developers support it, although I'll still be pretty annoyed with Nintendo. When Nintendo's next handheld is released, I think I'll wait a while before buying it, to avoid a repeat of this.

Monster Hunter 3D on the other hand, is great news and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

[abbe]

This made me SO much happy! Why? Cuz
a second analog pad will make it possible for some fps games and other games that needs two sticks/pad.

And monster hunter 3? Just plain awesome

I can see nintendo remaking the 3ds and for those who already got one, the add on will fix that. Just like the motion plus and wii remote plus.

Well, even for a bent magazine...the picture still looks really off.

[D.player]

If anything the 3ds's 2nd stick should be a battery extender too. And come with a new dock for the add on

Would everyone please notice that the article says that this is just for Monster Hunter Tri G. Capcom's the one who made it.

Actually, I think Nintendo is making it, but for the same reason they made the classic controller pro: To get Capcom on board.
It's heavily implied that it is NOT necessary for the very game it's being made for, so why do people expect it be be a redesign? :S

[Guy Fieri]

Probably wont buy Monster Hunter since I am not intrested in the series. About the second circle pad add on I will buy it if it has a good amount of worthwhile games that use or require it or if it is $50 or less.

Right now Capcom has no plans for localization, but the game was just announced yesterday. I just hope we don't have to wait a year after Japan gets it.

I thought it was confirmed for few others aswell, like metal gear...

I made that post before the conference, when we thought that Tri-G was all it was for.

Hmm...
I think I'll just look forward to Monster Hunter 4 instead. I've still got 150 Hunter Ranks to roll through in MHTri.

Also, Kingdom Hearts 3D is starting to look super awesome now.
