So nintendo is throwing this thing out there. The big impetus behind this thing is for dual sticks for the playing of Monster Hunter. This just makes me nervous if they decide to slap another analog nub/slider pad on the next iteration of the system and render the first run obsolete.

This thing it pretty ugly though, right?

Im pretty shocked the 3DS hasnt sold like hotcakes. If another analog nub is what it takes to sell better, you better believe the "3DS Lite" will have it in the next run...

I'm betting the next version will have this built in. Releasing a peripheral makes sure that the first gen owners are not unable to play new games.

I'm still not overly convinced it's anything other than a pack-in for a specific game. Do we really NEED another analog stick other than some very specific games? It's not like FPSs are huge on the handhelds

Sure, it MAY come with the 3DS Lite if (when) Monster Hunter sells 4 million copies +. But I really think it'll be under-utilized at best

By the way, this is an optional peripheral by Capcom for Monster Hunter 3D for console-like camera control. It is similar to how Monster Hunter Tri was released with an optional Classic Controller+ by Capcom.
