1) Nintendo doesn't want people to have to buy the 15 dollar accessory. This is obvious by how they are selling it. Perhaps they feel its clunky.

Isn't this supposed to come out today in Japan? Did it? I didn't really see anything about it.

Translation: We do not want to give a second circle-pad any primary attention, but for undisclosed reasons we have to give it as an option (e.g. for Capcom to make MH exclusive), and so we are honouring our agreement.

Alright, who is stupid?

People are stupid, but deciding which people is the interesting part.

With the 3DS you own right now which is in no way obsolete?

How is it better in every way?

Alright, I'm be calling you when the successor to the 3DS comes out.

I'm buying one, and mainly because I'm disappointed with many small things about my 3DS.

My guess is in September, they'll start putting lots of focus on it.

Wow, Mac compatibility... I'm impressed. I may pick up the first two.

okay, time for me to ask dumb questions:

$250 is the assumed price I suppose.

I believe in all forms of media, there is rarely a perfect balance between form and content, and when people focus more on form, it definitely hurts the content. We can see this in the film industry with films like Avatar (great form, little content).

That would go into the sales of the Wii version.

As long as the graphics are at a PS2 level, I'm happy. Anything else is just filler, and honestly probably gets in the way of focusing on more important aspects of the games.

Mental illness is bigger here, as is finding excuses to not make it seem like you wanted to leave the company (for the company's image).

They're both masterpieces.

They do, and they source where they got it from at the bottom.

Pretty sure this one is downloadable as well.
