If people plus gamespot dont get it by now the reason for the stick is games like monster hunter which require fast paced reflex where you dont have time to touch a screen...only to react. So no its not them going back on their design philosophy its them being practical in the range of games they are expecting on their system....period ok?

I couldnt of said it better than what Hotdiddykong said. Gamespot seems to exaggerate when it comes to Nintendo. But what about Microsoft and Kinect. Are there any must have games on kinect..no its a useless expensive peripheral intended to rip off Nintendos Ideas.Same thing with the Move. In the case of this Thumbstick it ACTUALLY has a sound and logical justification for them Adding it. Some games will need this 2nd thumbstick. Cmon Gamespot just stop with this Bias.........

Gaming companies and Gamestop are overreaching into gamers pockets too much and theyll use any excuse to increase the costs of gaming unnecessarily. The prices Gamestop sells their used games for is a complete rip off compared to what they give you back for a used game anyway. And the Companies wanna charge us the players for a profit that shouldnt even exist in the first place? Is anyone f***** seeing the s*** im talking about here? Gamestop is one of the worst things that happened to gaming period. They rip people off on preorders they rip people off on used games....If you end up paying $75 per title next gen blame gamestop...

If Gamestop is the problem then why are they trying to blanket charge everyone even if they dont buy their games at gamestop. It would seem logical to me that if they cared anything at all for the consumer they would see that Gamestops crazy used games prices arent just ripping them off its ripping consumers off too because We buy games at $60 Gamestop buys them back for like $15 and resells it at almost a new price making a $45 profit off of every used game. But whos fault is it? ITs not the consumers fault GO AFTER GAMESTOP DEVELOPERS!!! MAKE THEM LOWER USED GAMES PRICES!!!
