DAMNIT! WHO THE FUCK BEAT ME TO IT?! I WAS GOING TO REPORT THIS!!
*reports anyway*
General Information:
*reports anyway*
General Information:
- Expansion is developed by Nintendo
- The 'rumor' was originally posted on 01net, the French site known for being the first to leak the Wii-U
- Said rumor priced the expansion at 9.99 (Dollars? Euros? assuming Euros, since French)
- Also rumored on the site: rename, rebrand and complete relaunch of the 3DS in 2012
- The scans strongly suggest that the accessory is made for Monster Hunter, redesign rumor notwithstanding
- "Famitsu interviewed Monster Hunter series supervisor Ryozo Tsujimoto about MHP3G and the slide pad expansion. The device provides a good grip on the system, said Tsujimoto. He jokingly referred to the expansion as a 'secret weapon' which will allow you to play the game with the same feeling as playing Monster Hunter 3 on Wii."
- Implied that add-on is optional, and that the new game is completely playable without it
- Nintendo is still scheduled to hold a conference for the 3DS on Sept. 13 (two days before TGS) - this expansion will definitely be touched upon, so try not to jump to any conclusions before then
- A right analog slide-pad
- R1, R2, L2 shoulder buttons
- An earphone port at the bottom
- The cradle could be a battery pack or have a container for the battery
- The cradle also has wireless functions, possibly replacing those on the 3DS"
