It's still a step or two up from NoA.

I think I like the box better than the 3DS itself. If it looked like the box and opened up to have the controller motif on the inside, I'd be all over this. Still a neat thing, just not how I would have done it.

What you just described is the NES-style GBA SP. Why they didn't use this as their template is beyond me.

Remember the shotty club Nintendo rewards this year too?

exclusive, huh ? well, i hope it's as ugly as it looks in the images or worse, hopefully it's just a sticker on the top lol

They're doing us a favor by making it a little meh. Then we can hold off to get the New 3DS instead.

I think they kinda blew it on the design here. The exterior of the handheld should have looked like the original console: grey bottom half, white upper half with the strip on the side. The interior meanwhile should have looked like the original game pad with red buttons, grey D-Pad, and the rest. Not sure what could…

What I'm struggling to imagine is that not killing what people love about Minecraft. A game loved for user-created everything, selling pre-created anything, doesn't make sense to me.

My guess is users. They want the Minecraft users, so they can sell more content to them directly, and have them as part as the Microsoft user infrastructure.

I'm trying to be at least SEMI realistic here.

Because we were deliberately keeping it a secret from you, Jason. It's all part of our MASTER PLAN...

while I really like the x360 controller for third-person action games and arcade racers, I have to ask... If they're using it to aim, why the hell are they not using a mouse instead? It's much faster, far more precise (there's a reason why console fps have aim assist), cheaper and far more common as far as…

I hope they enjoy their lack of precision when aiming.

Remove always online requirement from PC version and I *might* be interested. And no more lies about why it has to be there, when clearly it doesn't as it isn't on consoles.

Isn't it funny how they're called "journalists"? There is zero integrity there. Anyone who goes there and just ever so slightly suggests they disagree a tiny bit is torn apart! It's people like that that give the feminist movement a bad reputation... I'd hate to say it but it seems those at Jezebel won't be happy…

"Rape culture" is a political term used for political purposes, not a factual descripter of U.S. culture. I bet you haven't spent a single moment questioning the idea of "rape culture".

I don't think so. I think he has crippling emotional issues because he was an 11 year old orphan who was turned into a horrible monster for not letting a strange old woman in his house. Now, admittedly, I do recall the movie saying he was a bratty little jerk, but the appropriate response for that is not…

This is Gawker Media in a nutshell:

Let us not forget the hypocrisy throughout the whole thing as well. After like 1000 articles about how harmful it is to treat women, even fictional ones, like sex objects Jezebel then runs this... (NSFW) http://jezebel.com/disney-dudes-d…
