And no 2nd analog stick like I thought.

[TruePrime]

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

So people waiting for that will still be waiting.

[Wario64]

[GeneralManager]

Lol. Nintendo - "What are we supposed to do at e3 again?

[Crumpet Trumpet]

[Poyunch]

Sucks for all those people who bought a Circle Pad Pro. Won't even be able to use it now.

[zerodayPopbot]

Ugly but larger screens are great...day 1.

[Luminate]

Nintendo Direct does what E3don't

[tdrdrgn]

And no 2nd analog stick like I thought.

This confirms that its never gunna happen right?

[Effect]

[Glorified G]

no second stick? BOO!

[Aeana]

I guess now I'll go ahead and buy my JP 3DS.

[lunch]

It looks like a Wii U Gamepad with a top. Man, that thing's ugly.

And so bought.

[kiryogi]

Bigger screens nice! But lol no 2nd stick! Might as well get the original now!

[Man]

No second stick wtf.

[csquared587]

I might upgrade depending the the price, why no second stick though?

[brucewaynegretzky]

No second stick.... really? After they release frankenstick they don't add it to the revision?

[jbug617]

I hope Gamestop runs a great trade in deal.

[SalsaShark]

Nintendo 3DS LL

[TheBioLover]

No second stick?! Wtf. It also looks kind of.............ugly.

[Smellycat]

No second stick, no black on the inside.

[cj_iwakura]

No thanks. I got my purple.

[SUBZERO-08]

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.

[thirty]

The resolution on that will look terrible

[OldJadedGamer]

Creamsugar strikes again.

[Aiko Heiwa]

Also totally buying this.

[jokkir]

Is the screen higher resolution?

[jambo]

[Dedication Through Light]

That is huge, wow, and white?

[SolarKnight]

Please please please please please let the screen self-scratching problem the normal one had be fixed.

[Kyon]

A messss

[Anth0ny]

It's fucking beautiful.

I need it.

lol @ the people who thought they weren't going to release a revision this year.

[Takao]

It reminds me of the PSone, and in this case that's not flattery...

[Amir0x]

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?

[Mistle]

4.88 Top Screen 4.18 Bottom Screen 6-10 hour Battery Life

Is the battery really that much better?
man i really do not want to buy a new 3DS but it's tempting....

[Ranger X]

Wheres the second analog stick, motherfuckers! Glad I've had my 3DS all this time instead of waiting.

That's for the second revision.

[MThanded]

Dreams of the second stick are dead .
