Nintendo 3DS XL / Huh No Second Circle Pad? Is that really a bad thing?

So Nintendo has recently announced a new version of their Nintendo 3DS system called the 3DS XL. The 3DSXL has 90% larger screens and will come with a 4 gigabyte SD card instead of a 2 gigabyte SD card. Other then that their are no other changes, which has caused some people to complain as they wanted a second circle pad, but would that really made things better? In my opinion, no not really. The only thing I could think that it would improove is letting left handed people play differently, but will it help them, I don't think so. Those that choose this method will be forced to use a D-pad in place of the 4 face buttons, which I don't think would be as good. Also people have been using the current method since the NES era, and I don't think it's that big a deal, are left handed people really at that big a disavantage?

Nintendo has said that they had no plans to change the current design of the 3DS and this isn't a redesign, it's just larger screens. People just act so spoiled when it comes to video games.

My thoughts on the Kid Icarus Uprising Controls

I have heard that some people disliked the controls used for Kid Icarus Uprising, saying that they would of preferred using to circle pads instead and didn't like that it wasn't even an option.Nintendo has said that such a control method wouldn't work with the game but didn't go into why.

Well, I'm here to give you my thoughts on the matter.

When thinking about alternate control methods you have to incorporate everything you can do from the main method into it and make it work. The problem is I don't believe the touch screen controls would translate without modification to the game play. You see the touch screen does two important things at the same time, it not only aims your weapon but it also turns Pit, the faster and farther you slide the stylus on the touch screen make Pit turn much faster, this method is much faster then I see in other games. Since enemies can come from you at all sides you need to turn quickly at times and I do not believe a second circle pad would be fast enough, and even if they did make it fast enough it would make it harder to aim. Using the stylus I am able to turn towards the enemy and fire at them very easily allowing for a greater thrill.

In all I think the controls for Kid Icarus Uprising is the best choice allowing for less aiming time, and those who are saying they want a second circle pad to use instead would just end up making the game much more harder and end up just frustrated at it instead.

Re-Looking At Nintendo's Performance At E3, Did They Really Fail?

 Re-Looking At Nintendo's Performance At E3, Did They Really Fail?

Well Nintendo has disappointed many at E3 this year, but what happened to make so many gamers upset? If you've been following my blog you may of read my list of things I wanted to see their, well I'm going to use that list to see if I can truly be disappointed with Nintendo.

New Super Mario Brothers 2 and New Super Mario Brothers U were shown in all their glory. This is one of the things I wanted to be shown, which I already knew was going to be shown, but it was a shock when they revealed that both were sidescrollers.I was expecting one of them to be a 3D Mario adventure, which made me a little disappointed, but I guess I can't be to upset since we recently had that Mario 3D adventure on the 3DS in Super Mario 3D Land.
