It ironically ended up being close to 300 in most of the world anyway. =P

I think that's mostly due to every country having the same number despite the worth of their monies. I don't know if it applies to the 3DS, but it seems common.

Who's to say the charging port can't be used and still put a port capable of charging on the add-on?

Who's to say that port can even send and receive data?

Maybe it's part of a vastly thought out plan with variables we aren't considering.

Maybe this is the best they can do on short notice and they didn't really think about it at all.

That and adding any further draw to the 3DS would just make its already abysmal battery life even worse.

The same could be said of all religions.

Do we not yet have any confirmation as to what the batteries are needed for?

What does it connect to? The Data/Charge connection is untouched. It can't plug into the game slot. Stylus slot is silly. All that is left is the IR port or Bluetooth.

@ xnam - Um, what? It's exactly as I said.

Just imagine that the 3DS L & R shoulder buttons aren't there. What becomes functional are the L and R triggers on the peripheral. The smaller shoulder button above the right trigger is likely a new R2 button (I apologize for saying R3 last time, maybe I caused confusion) used for games like MH Tri G.

The 3DS shoulder buttons lose function, in replace for the peripheral.

L is on the 3DS, R is on the add-on. And ZL and ZR are on the add-on as secondary triggers.
R on the 3DS is left available for some reason. Maybe  for the Charging port.

Seems odd they would lose function and also be left available. They made holes in the design to make them available, but the two buttons replace them completely?

Those 2 in the back will probably "overwrite" the standard 3DS L and R shoulder buttons, as it looks like a pain to reach with this thing attached. And I'd guess that smaller shoulder button is R3. Like a GC controller.

But this is just speculation for now, until we get proper info.

If the back ones "overwirte" the normal ones, why is there a front one on the side that extends and why is the normal L button left available?

It looks dull as dirt. But if it's appropriately responsive and comfortable, that's all I need from it right now.

What are those back triggers for?

Just... why can't they plug it in? I don't think it would drain the 3DS' batteries that much. It's embarassing, really.

If they did that it could affect battery benchmarks. If it uses a battery I have a feeling it could have some other purpose.

\Too bad the 3DS has region locking/

I was seriously wondering about that too...I mean, people still use AAA batteries...?!

What? They could have at least added an extra battery slot for a second 3DS battery.

My TV remote uses them!

My Roku remote uses them, and I think it's retarded. AAs would fit just fine.

...I mean games in which teams start using the full power of the 3DS for graphical advantage instead of 3D rendering, you [Bumpity-Boom!].

It's been 6 months since launch. It's usually 1 year or 6 months before the system dies that developers finally have a full hold on the graphical power of any system.

I seriously can't wait until they start making games that do NOT require any use of the 3D.

Well, I hope you don't have to wait long. As we all know, if you turn off the 3D on all current 3DS games, the game crashes and then you have to send it to Nintendo. It's not like every game supports a no 3D mode and it's even built into the hardware. Nope, all the current games crash and show you gay porn when you try to force non-3D mode.

I think most are resistant towards the fact that they didn't design it into the device itself. Even if they don't know it or admit it.
I'm probably gonna wait for a redesign before I get a 3DS. I always was, but now I know I have a reason instead of just having a good guess based on their recent history.

The slide pad is not ridged as Nintendo's usual analogue sticks are; you have to put a fair amount of pressure on it to keep your grip.

I would suggest you stop putting lotion on your hands just prior to playing your 3DS.

Almost every time I see a [acid burst]-poor recolor that was not done by the company (I.E. the Rain Flush Mega Man color swap).

Personally, I wouldn't mind having that thing just to make the 3DS bigger.  I can't play it for more than 30 minutes without my hands starting to hurt from the awkward way I have to hold it with these beefy paws I call hands.

Not having the Power Button where the Start/Select buttons were on the DS would be nice too. And what were they thinking making the actual Start/Select button so hard to push?

Using the touch screen for long periods of time can cause hand cramps quite easily. It has happened before. The second stick should naturally be more comfortable to use, especially when compared to touch screen heavy games, like I mentioned before: Kid Icarus.

Despite the reduction in accuracy, a capacitive touch screen would get rid of a lot of the things that make using a resistive touch screen annoying. But no, we have to keep compatibility for DS games.

Given the lack of grip on the 3DS slide-pad(s), I doubt that.  The extra girth might help those of us with larger hands, but that's about it.

I hear in some countries they have for purchase a substance that makes things more gripping.
