Nintendo is obviously just trying to make a little bit more money out of the 3DS. I was considering getting one for KH 3D, but if I have to buy that ugly piece of crap to play the game, then just forget it!

umm... you do realize that gamers will go and waste money on a number of silly things, right? I mean, Nintendo isn't the only company that does this. What about Sony and the Dualshock 3? Every company does it, and we gamers still buy it.

I didn't buy it I got it when I bought my PS3 slim almost 2 years ago.

yea, but what about those who already had a PS3 when the Dualshock 3 came out? they had to go and buy it if they wanted that extra feature.
It's really no different for this right here. Granted, we are only assuming at this time that the 3DS-r is going to have a 2nd stick, but still, does that leave people who already own a 3DS having to either go buy a new 3DS, or buy this little accessory? I don't know about you, but I'd rather this option then be forced to wait for the 3DS-R and have to pretty much buy a 2nd 3DS...

Just looking at how large the add-on's are makes my hands hurt... Good luck to those of you who purchase this block of plastic! Wink

If it's $10 like it's rumoured to be, why the heck not? Does no one remember the accessories and attachments that sold alongside the GameBoy?

Considering how big this attachment is, it looks like it'll have an extra battery pack as well, which will definitely be nice for games that require the device to last longer than 3 hours.

I remember, I actually almost bought into the whole magnifier and joystick crap for the original fat gameboy... luckily, I never actually found them LOL

as for this, idk, maybe I need a look at a better angle, but this looks a little to thin to me to house any battery packs...

Ya I had a fat PS3 back in 2007 that came with the sixaxis controller, I never got the dualshock3 controller for a reason in a story that I don't like to talk about.

Lets just say it involves a spiderman 3 the game being left in said PS3 overnight, that $400 PS3 was wasted in one week.

The size of the 3DS is redunkulous. If they redesign the console with the 2nd stick built in, then I may buy one.

We're all looking for a hero in a world of villains.

You'll be surprised. I was shown a battery pack at E3 that was even thinner than what this looks like and it boasted an addition 20 hour battery life. There's also another one that's just a slide/clip on just like this and it's not at all bulky.
