The Ghastly Nintendo 3DS Slidepad Is Real, Ships To Japan This December

img_accessories_04Nintendo took to the Tokyo Game Show stage today to announce several new products including the new features of 3D video capture and upgraded online distribution. But they didn't announce the Slidepad. Instead, the 3DS add-on just appeared on the gaming company's website as if they were a tad embarrassed, or rather confused, about its existence.Well, there goes Nintendo. They had a good run, right? Nearly every product from the last 10 years save the Gamecube has been built by beautiful geniuses set to change the gaming world. The Gameboy, the DS, the N64, and Wii were novel ideas and therefore prospered in the marketplace. Then came the 3DS, built around a gimmick rather than a new paradigm. The high price, coupled with lackluster launch titles, caused the 3DS to stumble out of the gate and ultimately lead to a major price reduction. It's a sad time in Super Mario Land.
