I imagine he means the Circle Pad (Pro), and at this juncture would cause more headaches for so little gain that it isn't even worth it

Yeah, I meant the circle pad pro. I've read the term slider used a lot so I thought it was the popular name.

Also, what do you mean, BaB? o.O Except for the secondary shoulder buttons I don't think it'd be that much of a problem.

The major issue is that it splits the consumer base between people who have it and people who don't. Any 3DS model that comes out with a second analog stick would almost be like a new console and be 100% superior to the current versions.

It would alienate too many people who have a current model.

And developers would have to make 2 control schemes for their games.

Anyway, I played the 2DS, it's a solid handheld. I still think it looks weird, with the 2 screens (even different sizes). But it lies really comfortably in your hands, which in the end is quite important. Felt better than my 3DS.

So... I picked up one of these. It's actually not bad.
