I know I’m not the only person who looked at the recently confirmed Circle Pad Pro accessory for the Nintendo 3DS XL and wondered why exactly Nintendo didn’t just add a second circle pad by default to the larger portable console. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata is now offering an explanation for why Nintendo didn’t just add that second circle pad from the factory. Iwata admits that adding the second circle pad would’ve been possible.
He goes as far as to say Nintendo even considered it. However, Iwata says that the second circle pad was never a focus during the design and development of the console; screen size and extended battery life were the priorities. Iwata says that to include a second analog stick Nintendo would’ve had to reduce the size of the battery or make the unit “much bigger.”
