best emulator ever? i think so
i have OoT and SF64
i have all my favorite NES titles
soon i'm getting my favorite GBA titles
i don't even care that my android phone has full support for n64 titles like super mario 64
i want to play them on my 3ds
Any emulator that makes OoT and Star Fox look 10x better is a good emulator in my book. Of course, Vita's going to be a way better one; you'll be able to get ports of PS3 games on it!

Too bad that I think sony shot down PS2 emulation for the Vita.
I might've gotten one just for that

apparently they "de-confirmed" PS2 emulation :(
The 3DS is getting more and more awesome the more that goes on the VC. Now it just needs to get more games of its own.

Hmm. That seems dumb. I wonder if they're still trying to pimp actual PS2s instead. I would think that it would be a major selling point for the Vita.
No L2 or R2 buttons on Vita means PS2 emulation would be weird as it would mean using the back touchpad.

Vita also lacks R3 and L3. Four missing buttons!

The second slide pad stole them all!

Speaking of which, I hope Nintendo has given the Wii U L3 and R3 already; if they kept the circle sliders from E3, that would potentially ruin the 3rd party appeal.

I hope there aren't anymore buttons myself though.

We have a touch screen, just change the configuration a bit to let it substitute.
Nintendo decides to cram a huge touch screen into their console controllers and you people are complaining that there's not enough.

They want this, basically.

A controller which lets your character poop and sneeze, all actions exclusively for a button each!
You guys do realize that, if they needed to, they could cram like 50 buttons onto a touch screen?
Being able to click in the sticks is just plain convenient. I'm not asking for that much, just give it the modern standard number of buttons (as seen in Xbox 360 and PS3). The touch screen is the "extra."
Uh, touch screen "buttons" aren't natural, Kayo.
You can have as many buttons as you want a touch screen, it still won't feel as good as a normal controller.

I'm aware of this, I'm just saying people shouldn't complain that there's a touch screen and not a whole lot of buttons considering the immense versatility of a touch screen.

I'm actually really not looking forward to the touch screen. Every touch screen I've ever used felt mildly awkward.

Which is why you would put the least often used buttons on the screen.
L3 and R3 ARE the sticks; it wouldn't clutter controller, it wouldn't inconvenience anyone, it has absolutely zero down side, that's just where they belong.
Besides, for those of you so intent to use the touch screen, L3 and R3 being in a place that actually makes sense would free up more space for other stuff on the screen.
R3/L3 are usually used as optional camera functions such as resets, though they are sometimes used for other things.
It'd be nice, but at the same time its not going to make Mario 3D Land a better game.

You act like a little tiny square in each of the top corners of the touch screen is a big problem. Besides, not all games even NEED six shoulder buttons.

It's not a big problem, but it's still a problem, one which could be ridiculously easily solved considering the console isn't even out yet. If this was AFTER the fact, it would be a futile argument, but since this is in foresight, I say it would be nonsensical for Nintendo to not do it. It's only a reason of convenience for the Wii U to have L3 and R3, but there's a whopping zero reasons for it to
not have them. If Nintendo had realized buttons > touch screen when making the 3DS, for example, we might not be groaning about the extra circle pad add-on they're just now coming out with.
It's the principle of the thing is all.
i don't think any games require 6 shoulder buttons

This exactly. Why put so many shoulder buttons on when they won't all be used?

Not sure if you're serious, but "L3" and "R3" aren't shoulder buttons, they're when you click in the sticks, like what many PS3 and 360 games use to great effect.

Uh well I meant buttons in general, i guess the shoulder sneaked in there.
But seriously, why add buttons that won't get much use?
