So why can't 3DS have a touch screen analog stick?

As the owner of an iphone i've used the touch screen analog stick for games. Its trash but ill admit it does work. So i ask this out of all the talk of 3DS 2nd analog stick.

Why not just use one of these?

Its an analog addon for the ipad. Granted the design will need to change for 3DS.

But C'mon

WTF!?

Also, as usual, Nintendo opted for the cheaper resistive touchscreen (although it is a bit more precise, and, considering the screen size, you couldn't use a finger on it anyway).

Are you serious? A touch screen not big enough for your finger? Ok....

Plz people any of you got a 3DS hold it how you would. Tell me how hard an analog would be to use at the bottom right of the touch screen.

The 3DS touch screen is vastly inferior to an iPad's touch sensors and wouldn't have near the same sensitivity or accuracy, plus it's proven that physical feedback = epic win and touch controls are still so much in their infancy that I doubt someone like Nintendo would want to risk the comeback of their platform on an uncertain control method.

anyone notice how that this board has been completely taken over by Sony and Nintendo, not much MS related topics these days.

that looks way better than the Bulky nonsense Nintendo is giving out.

Where can I get one so I can test it?

Because it only works with a pen. You cant use your thumbs. With the pen in your hand you cant use the face buttons. They should have put another analog stick in.

Just used my Thumb on the Touch Screen to do a Hadoken.

You mean a annolge stick 'ingame' located in the touchscreen? I believe it's up to developers to do that. Who knows...maybe they never thought of it.

Here's a Video of Me using the Touch Screen as a 2nd Analog.

I think a Touch Screen Analog Stick would improve it vastly.

This is completley off topic, but I just wanted to say I love your sig.

Putting a stick on the touch wouldn't work at all. For one, it's a tiny screen and if they're going to use the touchscreen then that's restricting a lot of screen space. And those stick attachments are all terrible.

Fling Mini looks like it makes things a whole lot easier.
