Definetly will agree with this.

That it is. And good god is it hard.

...and, as any fan of Gay Porn will tell you, That's a VERY, VERY good thing!

Edit: It's 5:49AM and I think I'll play some Silvergun!

Hey, Greeks, is this true?

Holding up your palm towards someone

Where to avoid doing it: Greece

What it means in the UK: Usually ‘stop’, sometimes a slight wave, occasionally a Jerry Springer-style ‘talk to the hand!’

What it means in Greece: I’m imitating smearing your face with excrement. That’s not an exact translation, but the gesture is thought to be a remnant of Byzantine times when people could taunt shackled criminals by actually doing that. Either way, holding your palms out towards a person is a highly insulting gesture.

This is that Wayforward digital 3DS trailer I told you guys about. You have to see it in 3D, looks really cool but I don't like the platform switching mechanic if it's in the whole game. Yeah I know it was good in DKCR and SMG but it doesn't look that great here.

Little Kings Story vita trailer

Looks better, crisper, more detailed with nice lighting, a rimlight for the characters. Art, character design and music are all worse and loses the charm of the original IMO, but it looks like a solid game otherwise.

GAF seem to hate it. The music and artstyle is all different, they say its generic now. Some of the trailer looked like the old game. At this point it's not clear if this is a port, a new game or something inbetween.

Not true. Palm showing with the fingers tightly next to each other has the same meaning, stop and the like, if you expand your fingers away from each other then it's sort of an insult. But I had no idea it had to do with smearing shit, I'm not sure if that's true.

Eurogamer hands on 3DS circle pad extra@

Believe us, it's very, very real.

So, how does it feel? Well, rather nice actually. While making the thing easy on the eye has proven a feat beyond even Nintendo's usually infallible design team, they have at least made it a pleasure to hold.


What you couldn't see in the first promo shot of the peripheral is its ergonomically curved exterior. It's a pleasing fit in your hands and surprisingly light too. Perhaps it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that it feels a lot like Nintendo's new Wii U controller. And despite some of the unkinder nicknames it has already picked up, it's not actually that big. Nintendo's boosted handheld feels no wider than a PSP, if that. And even with the new add-on, it's still dwarfed by the PlayStation Vita.

For the most part, the button placement feels spot-on, too. The shoulder bumpers feel chunkier and more comfortable than those on the barebones 3DS, the thumb falls naturally on the second circle pad and, if anything, the extra girth afforded by the cradle actually makes the console's d-pad feel a little less out on a limb. The two supplementary shoulder buttons will also no doubt please the Monster Hunter faithful.


It's rather galling to learn it'll need a single AAA battery, but at least the battery compartment is hidden out of sight in the dock itself. There's no physical connector visible on the device, so we can only assume the battery is there to power infra-red - or even wireless? - communication with the 3DS base unit.

However, perhaps inevitably given the impossible scale of the task, it's not all good news. The left shoulder button is stuck in an uncomfortable groove between the edge of the peripheral and the 3DS' top screen, throwing the handheld off balance. The volume slider is hard to get at too, the wi-fi switch is blotted out altogether and the game and stylus slots are covered up, so no hot cart switching.


It's difficult to gauge just how odd it will feel having the face buttons to the left of the second circle pad rather than above it, as is now customary, until we've actually played a game with the peripheral. The unit we tried out was tethered to the waist of a chirping booth babe, with only the 3DS' menu screen available.


To be fair on Nintendo's put-upon engineers, it feels like they've done their very best to solve an essentially intractable problem. It's an extremely competent hatchet job, but a hatchet job nonetheless; an unappealing stop-gap while we wait for the inevitable hardware revision, which Nintendo surely hopes will put the whole sorry debacle behind it. Given the strength of its upcoming release slate, it may well get away with it, but this is a cock-up that should live long in the memory.
