New 3DS attachment for dual Slidepads and potential 3DS hardware redesign

[Sol]

Held off on buying a 3DS for exactly a case like this. They said they weren't going to pull a DS Lite for awhile, but I guess no one is going to go right out and say "a newer version will be out in a year"

What a stupid move, I was irritated by the Wii Motion Plus when it came out for the same reason. It just feels so disrespectful to the consumer... There's no way to win, either you pay extra money for something that should've been there in the first place, or you miss out.

I'm not going to call Nintendo a bunch of supervillains, I mean, they lowered the price of the 3DS and gave early buyers free games, but one wonders if they wouldn't just drop the price anyway when this supposed new version comes out. :/ Nobody wins. I guess in the end it is cool that there'll be an opportunity for expanded controls. Eh...

Edit: Unless it ends up being fake, in which case who cares
