Strafe? That's used in a lot more than FPS.

Third person shooters mostly. The rest can get get the job done with a strafe button.

Anyhoo, you're the last person who should be clamouring for dual analog on a handheld.
I don't imagine you'd be too pleased if the next Deus Ex or NOLF ended up on 3DS or PSP2 or whatever.

[Yoshi]

True. I fully support Nintendo canning the Wii for the 3DS though.

[Dyne]

They put shitty hinges and shoulder buttons on DSLite, so I don't think they give a shit if kids break them.

I was surprised they added an analog. Then I saw it was like the old NES advantage or whatever it was called.

[Yoshi]

So we'll be able to kick ass at the hammer toss in Track & Field.

Apparently Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a remake too. Very nice.

[Space Pirate Roberts]

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

Yep, I'm buying a 3DS.

[Yoshi]

It's all about Mario Kart, Ridge Racer, and Star Fox. Those will benefit from 3D and not be fucked by no dual analog.

[bbobb]

Star Fox is going to be awesome.

[Space Pirate Roberts]

I'd like to think so, but they haven't gotten one right since N64.

[Bacon McShig]

Well good news then, according to the list, that's the one it is.

Looking forward to Paper Mario, hopefully it's nothing like that SPM monstrosity. 3D with flat textures should yield a pretty rad Viewmaster effect.
