3DS

It’s a bit blurry, but this is what we have for now…


It’s sounding like Monster Hunter Tri 3G had at least some impact on Nintendo’s new 3DS analog peripheral, named “Expansion Slide Pad”.

Monster Hunter series supervisor Ryozo Tsujimoto, who was interviewed in Famitsu this week, said that the add-on is a “secret weapon” and will bring the same feeling of Monster Hunter Tri on Wii to the 3DS. Additionally, Tsujimoto said that the whole peripheral unit provides a good grip on the system.

Rumor no more! This scan proves that Nintendo is indeed developing a right slide pad attachment for the 3DS.


It seems to be the common consensus now that the right 3DS slide pad attachment and Monster Hunter Tri G reveals are the real deal. I’m maintaining a bit of skepticism, but I’m posting this under the assumption that the latest reports are legitimate.

In any case, here’s what the Japanese boards are saying about Monster Hunter Tri G:

– When the touch screen is pressed, you’ll automatically turn around towards a monster
– Features wireless play
– New featured monster
– 12 weapon categories
– Water areas are back
– Different control for underwater sections
– Playable at TGS
– Launching late 2011 in Japan


Technically Nintendo’s new right slide pad hasn’t been confirmed. However, it’s starting to sound more and more likely as the minutes pass by. Here’s how the peripheral is supposedly described as in Famitsu…

– Peripheral placed towards the right of the ABXY buttons
– Attachment has an R2 button
– This means the 3DS will have L1, R1, and R2 buttons, but not L2
– Peripheral apparently clips onto the whole 3DS (like a charger)
– Juts out 1cm at left, 2-3cm at right, 2cm at bottom, 2-3cm in thickness

Again, this peripheral hasn’t been confirmed. If it’s true, we should be able to verify the news (and the details above) soon…

Is a confirmation for Monster Hunter Tri G almost here? That appears to be the case, as numerous Japanese blogs are reporting that the title has been announced. One would think that if it’s true, the news would be taken from this week’s Famitsu.

And here’s another odd rumor: apparently the magazine also has information on a new peripheral for 3DS that will allow the system to use a second slide pad. You know, it’s basically that crazy rumor that originally popped up on 01Net… except now it’s not looking so crazy!

Hopefully we’ll receive some concrete information soon.
