Nintendo should focus on getting some good 3DS games released instead of of hardware add-ons (which I'm sure will be integrated into the next 2 versions of the 3DS Wink ), and ports of N64 games (as good as they may be). And Resident Evil Mercenaries? 40 bucks for a bonus mode on re4 and re5? No. Thanks.

If its only $20-40 thats not bad at all. I was afraid this was going to turn into some type of expensive nightmare....

No thanks, I'm still waiting for the 2nd version of the 3DS you know they'll make in a year. Thanks.

This thing is such a waste. I would have considered it if it added more shoulder buttons, an extended battery and a rumble feature... but that whole thing just to add a second slider? That's kinda dumb.

I do not get the point of this at all... Nintendo, there is NOTHING wrong with the hardware- the 3DS is tanking becuase the game selection is crap. Don't release a gimmicky, bulky add-on that requies its own freakin' power source and costs as much as a GH release game (give or take.) Make some freakin' games, already!

Nintendo: You cannot be saved by Zelda alone. Put out some new, fun games, and then MAYBE I'll drop some money for a new system!

Hahaha... ^__^

Hold on though, fellow KH fan... If you have seen the recent DDD ustream footage, it has a "案件" Nomura playing the game WITHOUT this expansion slide pad thingie majig. If the creator of the game can work its magic without this expansion pack, then, save your money.

I know I am until Nintendo thinks of integrating the AAA pack into their 3DS systems (which I don't have one of those either....at the moment).

As the others already said, I won't buy the 3DS before this part gets integrated. Other than that, are they going to release this thing in all the 3DS colors? Because I can see a lot of people being pissed off at the fact that the extension isn't only bulky and ugly, it also only comes in black when their 3DS is blue/red/pink.

I plan on playing MH3G without the expansion, honestly. I prefer to have a simplified shortcutted control scheme than the one used traditionally. Most of these games have already been made without the expansion so I don't think it's even necessary.

I don't see why people have to moan over this and cry "Nintendo is ruined FOREVER" when it's been shown this is optional. Also, an Ace Combat game on 3DS sounds awesome and I hope it's not anything like the newer games (seriously, why include helicopters and QTEs, Namco? WHY?)

Oh baby, this Ace Combat game looks so awesome. Ace Combat 2 remake all set. Next up: Ace Combat 3 remake. Razz

And nice to see you again, Strangereal. I knew you were just on vacation. Wink
