why do people say the 3ds has bad controls?

all vita fanboys say that the vita has superior controls to the 3ds and that the 3ds controls suck. why. the 3ds does eveything the ds does and more, and wasnt the ds known for its gameplay. also the vita has a capacitive touchscreen which isnt as accurate as a resistive screen for gaming, just look at how painful and inaccurate playing on an ios device is. and didnt psp fanboys say touchscreens were gimmicky.

Vita has more control inputs. And 3DS should have had a second analogue built in.SaltyMeatballs

I havnt run into any issues with the controls on any 3DS games that I have played, and I never had a DS so I can't compare and refuse to since I had not played it...however that is something that won't stop the Vita fanboys who say VIta has better controls and yet what experience are they basing that on? They may sound great but pretty much anything can if told to you the right way. Wait until you actually try it before automatically saying its better

I think the controls are okay, but aprently Nintendo doesn't think so since they are releasing a new d-pad.

You say people in the thread title then Vita fanboys in the thread. So which is it? And there cdan be no such thing as a Vita fanboy because no one has played it. I have played the 3DS and it is not hard to tell that the Vita kills it but I do not buy handhelds. My phone makes the 3DS look 20 years old. And the Vita is way to much money for what I basically get on my home consoles.

I'm fine with the controls. So far, I don't miss the 2nd analog stick, and the entire package feels well designed. The dpad is more loose than I would like, but I haven't had any issues. It just depends on the person, I guess. Some people love the dual shock controller, but I hate it. Some people hate the 3DS controls, but I don't have a problem.

the only complaint I ever hear is about the lack of dual analog... which can be remedied if you need it.

Could it be that they haven't changed much 3ds is still using ds touch while vita has 2 multi touch and 2 analogs

Even Nintendo thinks it has bad controls. They are releasing (or already have) a second analog stick add-on for the 3DS which just has me loling hard as hell every time I think about.AmazonTreeBoa

the biggest change to the hardware is extra power for 3D visuals and games. for 3D games, there isnt a second analog stick yet like you would rightfully expect (how on earth did it launch without it?). for 3D visuals, you dont want a touch screen 3D as its disorienting and it breaks the illusion. also, you cant really use the gyroscope or the 3D effect becomes nauseating. there just doesnt seem to be synergy between the features.

They are not bad but everyone including Nintendo knows that it should of had an second analog stick.

one of the most important aspects of tight controls, is COMFORT.

The navigation in games like WaW for DS, was attrocious.

Maybe you haven't played one in a while I can't tell you how uncofterable it is. You really can't switch between holding the device with your hand and then switch to grab the penchil or poke the screen to look :S it's just not doing it. Nintendo should definetly make a 3DS with a 2nd analog stick build in it now that the 3DS has plenty of 3D games.

[QUOTE="p4s2p0"][QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] Explain. It was quite uncomfortable, but the controls worked very well.Bread_or_Decide

[QUOTE="p4s2p0"][QUOTE="yoshi_64"] Some people I think are just too afraid to adapt to changes and like their comfort zones. bonesawisready5

...both the Vita and 3DS lack 2 extra shoulder buttons which will gimp FPS like COD since you won't have a button to throw grenades.bonesawisready5

if 3DS has bad controls then the Vita has bad graphics.
