January 2013 pickups

I knew it was Model-2 which is better but I did not know their was a difference with the controllers.
wiggy:
and the difference is HUGE! The early US-only controllers literally hurt to use. Take a peek on google. The D-pad alone was enough to cause sores on your thumbs. They should all be burned.

Pick up a red 3DS with New Super Mario Bros. 2... it was actually a trade for xbox 360 Fat Halo 3 Edition that I pick up about 2 weeks ago on craigslist for $60 with games. I kept some games and the original halo 3 controllers and traded the console and 3 cheap games for the 3DS+games.. ;)

I don't recall the early Saturn controllers being uncomfortable. I bought a Saturn on launch day in 1995, and I still have the controllers. I bought a new Saturn last year, but it came with the Nights 3D controllers, so I still use my original controllers for some games.
I was actually playing some Street Fighter II the other day, and the controllers performed just fine.

You, sir, are in the severe minority.
My hands hurt just looking at it (not to mention my eyes)
