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.

I wrote this for a different blog but I decided to post it here to get more exposure.

Come around children and I'll look into my crystal ball and foretell the future and Nintendo. Let's see how many come true before the end of the year.

1. Customers Report Broken WiiU Controllers

I broke my WiiU controller just like I did my Wiimote.

Quick look at Mario Kart 7

Let's take a quick look at Mario Kart 7.

Mario Kart 7 is the seventh installment of Nintendo's Mario Kart video game series. Just as previous games in the series there are 8 courses with 4 tracks each, with 4 of these courses containing all new tracks while the other 4 courses containing remade tracks from previous Mario Kart games.

Mario Kart 7 also contains new items such as the Tanooki Tail and the Fire Flower. There is also a new super item called the Lucky 7 which gives you seven items (as seen in the image below).

Here's a quick tip: You have better chances of getting powerful items the farther back of the pack you are, and you get weaker items the farther ahead you are.

MegaMan Legends 3 Cancelled

Recently I heard that Capcom had shut down the MegaMan Legends 3 Project. I hear that it was mostly due to not enough people where getting involved with the Dev rooms.
