New 3DS attachment for dual Slidepads and potential 3DS hardware redesign

I'd also like to add, if you look at the photo in the OP, it grooves up like a controller, so it's not just a thick bottom that's a straight plane. It looks like it'd fit just fine for my hand.

That's cool, and so is the L2/R2 button inclusions, but with the analog stick to the right of the buttons, it still looks stupid to use.

Why does it matter if it looks "stupid" to use? I'm not playing a 3ds in the first place to attract my girlfriend to me even more.
And if you mean unusable, I'll heartily disagree.
EDIT: Also, the psp's analog stick is under the directional pad, but never hear anyone gripe about that.
