3DS not for the left handed

I'm very excited about the 3DS but they've only put one analog stick on the console and it's on the left side. So if i'm playing a game and using my left hand to use the stylus, i'm not going to be able to use the analog stick! I'll be back to using a,b,x,y buttons as my D-Pad. It seems pretty safe to say there isn't a left handed version of this console coming out, and it's pretty much guaranteed games will require use of both the stylus and the analog stick at the same time. So being left handed that analog stick is looking pretty redundant to me.

Yeah...I'm left handed, and I just realised too. I guess they forgot about us, well, there aren't much of us anyway :P.

My guess is that games that require the stylus will either have the option to play dual-analogish, kinda like Metroid Prime Hunters where you could play dual button.

or Nintendo will (unlikely) make a left handed version

My guess is the first one though, there will be a way, and I doubt they will require the stylus fully. I can't imagine the analog stick and the stylus being used at once, the analog stick seems to be of another preference, or in-game camera control...oh well :)

i just want to put my dsi ware stuff on in it

i do not understand this thread. im left handed and i have no problems with the d pad or thumb stick on the left. im use to that because i played that way for years.

I don't really get it. I'm the only right handed person in my family (out of 7 kids) and we're all gamers. And throughout the 80's and 90's anyone could get into gaming no matter what hand you are, and those control pads had control stick on left and buttons on right all the time, and I never heard anyone complain. I'm sure it won't be that big a deal.

good thing I;m right handed

For people that don't get it: the concern is not having to use the analog with your left hand and buttons with the right, it is having to hold the stylus (like a pen) in your right.sam_nintendo

Well Shigeru Miyamoto himself is left-handed (at least that's what I heard) so I'm sure there will be some left-handed options available, at least for first party games anyway.

I've tried using the right hand before for the stylus, but it's horribly inaccurate. My writing with the right hand, is slow, messy, and indecipherable, playing a game like the world ends with you right handed with a stylus, means i can't pull off a lot of the moves, because my right hand is trained or dextrous enough to do it, only my left hand is, much as it would be i'd imagine for many right handers, if you had the analog on the right hand side and had to use your left hand for the analog stick you'd probably find yourself having similiar problems as I. If i wanted to play a game like metroid prime hunters, my shooting would be terrible, i'd never hit anything. So yes, this is quite a problem, if there are games that require the manipulation of both a stylus and the analog stick, i don't want to be using the d-pad, i'll have just paid for some tech that i can't even use. I just hope Nintendo take a moment to consider all us lefties.

It's all about getting accustomed to it a guess. It would be pretty cool if they released a left handed version of the 3DS though , wouldnt it ;)

They will probably add something to it to make it compatible for the left hand.
