Remember, at this stage the second analog stick is an optional attachment. It's not required in order to play Monster Hunter or any other game for that matter. If Nintendo were to announce a new revision to the console, they'd have to get it out on the market very quickly, rather than wasting time on developing this attachment.
People are making an assumption, if a likely one, that Nintendo will be releasing a redesigned 3DS with a second analog stick. The idea that 4 million people may have bought a 3DS early, again, is what is making everybody angry. Let's assume for a second that this analog attachment is always going to be a seperate, optional attachment for the console and that no hardware revisions to the 3DS will include this second analog stick. If this were the case, the hardcore would still have an optional, arguably preferable control set up for particular games, and at the same time nobody else is going to fear that their handheld will go unsupported without it.
Remember that Monster Hunter 3G does not require this analog attachment in order to play it. Rather it exists as an optional control method that will cater towards the hardcore gamers who prefer such a set up. As was the case with the Classic Controller Pro on the Wii.
I consider 3D to be a fad, but only in terms of how it is marketed. It'll eventually become a visual standard that excites nobody as we're all used to the concept of depth perception in every day life. It definitely adds to the visuals of a number of games though.
You can defend the company. It's a freebie. You're not owed it. It's a gift to celebrate the anniversary of the series. If you can't play it, well that's unfortunate. But, as I say, it's not like you're owed it, so if you have no friends with 3DSs, just move on and forget it.
I'm still waiting for Shaun the Sheep. I don't know whether or not its been shown in Europe or the UK, but i've not seen anything yet. Besides that though, I can't really think of anything i'd like to see. A weekly show dedicated to reviewing 3DS games would be nice.
I'm going to say that the only poor game of the 10 is Ice Climbers. It has the worst jumping mechanic i've ever played with. I'm more than happy with the others though. Balloon Fight, Mario & Yoshi and Wrecking Crew are surprisingly good and addictive. The rest i've played before and I enjoy them as much now as I did back in the day.
This is one of my favourite ambassador games. I'm almost gutted that I missed this game as a kid. Would love to play some multiplayer, but I think i'll be waiting for the revised version to appear on the 3DS eShop, as it will still be free for ambassadors.
[QUOTE="FPS1337"]it's goddamn free, stop crying, there doing this for no money, jesus people are stubborn. It's like if someone mowed the backyard of my lawn and he did just as a favour and now I'm requesting that he also does the front yard as well.Epak_
What if he did a **** job and mowed down a part of your vegetable garden or something? It's good as it's still free right? What if you're really thirsty and somebody just gave you an empty bottle?
Nintendo should sell the game and add that multiplayer.
You've been made aware of how the game functions before you've downloaded it, which means you can make a decision on whether or not to get it at all. It would be like if somebody was going to mow your lawn and they told you that they would mow down part of your vegetable garden in advance. You could then say 'No thanks' and save yourself disapointment.
