"The Kid Icarus Uprising director explained that the Circle Pad Pro will be useful for left-handed players who may find it tricky to play the game with the stylus in their right hand."
And, based on previews, everybody else.

All i see is this being the confirmation of the second analog on the 3DS revision.
Makes sense. Lets the left handed players hold the stylus in their left hand like they've been asking for.
Can't complain.
By the way, everyone who complains about the controls being awkward must really suck at video games. The controls felt perfectly natural after 2 minutes, for me.

As expected, it's purely a mirrored solution for lefties. Hopefully Luigi's Mansion 2 offers a true alternate scheme with the Pro (for GCN controls).
Welp, looks like I'll be buying a Circle Pad Pro, because I was really close to not playing this game based on the current controls. Nice move.
Shiiiiiit... nevermind.

Nice. Glad they did this. Not because I"m crazy about the CPP but because this will address the issue left handed players would have (still be using stylue to aim but will have a pad on the right so you can hold the stylus with your dominate left hand). I've been going back and forth on getting one just to have one even if I didn't use it (controls for RE: Mercs was just fine for me so don't really need it for Revelations for example) but knowing that several games I'll be getting will have options for it, it might not be a wasted purchase in the end.

All he's confirming here is using the right analogue stick for left handed gamers, not using the right stick as a replacement for stylus aiming.

I am suddenly interested in this game.
Agh... I swear it said Sakurai when I hit enter. Curse auto correct.What Samurai?
In befo-
God damn it.
Adding the triggers is still impossible, so it's not happening.

Hell yes. Day one, when I otherwise would've passed.
I bet Miyamoto told him to, because he couldn't play itThank God, now I can enjoy it...Miyamoto is left-handed too
Pretty sure he's ambidextrous. Plus in the last few years he's been using his right hand more when playing DS/Wii

My statement still stands.
Nintendo officially endorsing and using the second analog
This.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I'm not sure you're quite up to date on what impossible means.

Nintendo needs to never ever design hardware with key functions being left out!
I was told that right handlers hated stylus controls too, and Kid Icarus was one of the reasons for the frankenstick.

There is only one reason on Earth why Nintendo may add a second stick on a 3DS revision, its Zelda 3DS if they feel stylus control is outdated for it. NOTHING ELSE.
I'll be satisfied with a refined and smaller console and a beautifull add-on; best of both worlds for me.
He said they didn't have time to work out any other control scheme and that using the pen was better anyways Could be lying, though.
You mean Sakurai and Sora Ltd.
Aww.... dissapointing.
After all, the Motion Plus has shown how quickly third parties will adopt a new control method introduced part way through a generation.
Damage control boys. pure and simple.
Circle Pro in Kid Icarus goes back to panic days when nintendo had to decide if they would launch the frankenstick.

My sentiments as well.
Even though I don't agree it's impossible to add two triggers, but it won't be pretty (you put one next to the other...)
Lefties being left out? *hides*Nintendo needs to never ever design hardware with key functions being left out!
MGS3, RE:R, KH3D, Ace Combat and MH3G already support it. That's already better than the MotionPlus ever got.

The game is built around the stylus. I played it, it's different and it works.
Just because you don't really know how it plays and compare it to games that use sticks for aiming doesn't mean the controls suck.

Not true, at all; one thing is requiring it, and another is supporting it.
There are more Wii games supporting the MP than there are 3DS games supporting the CCPro.
And there is not a single 3DS game that requires it, not even announced.

Will buy it twice now!
Yes, but how many Wii games with M+ support are actually worth playing? About as many as have already pledged to support the Pro, and it's not even out everywhere.
No-one said anything about requiring it, and really: who cares? If games use it, fine, if they don't, that's fine too - the idea that games are indisputably weaker without a second analogue input is just small-minded.
On reflection, I should have replaced 'third parties' with 'Nintendo'.
Current controls lack mass appeal.
