![]() ![]() ![]() If they have to pay for it, there will be a bloodbath, not to mention probably very low adoption rates, exacerbating all of the issues above. It's going to piss early adopters off.And for the reasons stated above, all the extra expenditure could end up being for nothing anyway. And at the moment it's money that Nintendo can't really afford to be losing. This will cost Nintendo a stack of money.You either make your games unplayable by a potentially huge number of people, or you make Nintendo's up-specced revision a total waste of time and money. A twin-stick, four-trigger 3DS out of the box will further conflict devs, creating the impression that the fully-featured model is the de facto one to develop for, while still leaving the possibility of alienating four million customers if they do develop with its capabilities in mind. This thing will lead to a complete hardware revision, possibly to be announced at or around the Tokyo Game Show this month. ![]() Which makes fully optimised, dual analogue, four-trigger-specific games a bit of an unlikely prospect.Ībove: At this rate, the new 3DS hardware revision will look like this With no guarantee that everyone has the add-on, games will need to be designed with two sets of controls available, or otherwise forgo support for the extra stick and buttons completely. With this thing remaining an optional extra for all four million early adopters, it will always be an optional extra for developers as well. This thing will split the market, and any hardware add-on that does so has historically done two things: confuse people and fail.And let's face it, fully-featured 3D FPS with full, home-console controller options is a pretty nice idea. With two sticks and potentially four triggers, it will have the same set-up as a Vita, or an Xbox 360 or PS3 for that matter, meaning that devs will have no reason not to make any sort of game for Nintendo's system. This thing will open up a whole load of new control options for the 3DS.Won't you take a moment to look at them? They're lovely, and fashioned from only the finest materials. So then, pros and cons? Why, I have a bunch of those stacked up right here. ![]()
