No second stick, or at least that is what was said in the other thread.

So people waiting for that will still be waiting.

Wheres the second analog stick, motherfuckers! Glad I've had my 3DS all this time instead of waiting.
 
Heh, knew there would be no second stick. Wasn't even a chance to begin with, can't believe so many thought it would have one.

hm, was hoping for a second integrated analog stick. Bigger sized handhelds don't really do it for me... portability is what I'm looking for. Does it have any other benefits or just size? Battery life improvement maybe? Brightness, screen quality?
