3DS to have widescreen, analog stick?

Nintendo has been pretty quiet about the 3DS's official specs, but an alleged target board for the handheld's prototype seems to point to a wider screen, among other modifications.

 

As you can see in the image below, the board's top screen is bigger than the touch screen. You'll also notice what seems to be card reader at the bottom left and something that looks like an analog stick at the bottom center of the board.

The image comes from an FCC filing for the 3DS's Wifi system. It's just a prototype so the final product may not even resemble it at launch. The same report also notes that Nintendo asked the FCC to keep the 3DS's guts under wraps for 180 days from April 2010. That ends just before the Christmas shopping season.

Maybe it's just me, but an analog stick and a touchscreen sounds kinda overkill...

do you remember mario 64 for ds came with the little thing that made the analog stick. it was cool but it didn't really get the job done. then the games that don't really use the touch screen will be better off as well.

this "3ds" is really starting to sound like the craziest thing ...it supposedly has wide screen, analog stick, rumble, accelerometer and of course...3d gaming ..as if that was not enough.

Amazing how they go from a huge board to a compact sleek design. I wonder how much features in the prototype will go to the final.

Hum...I might pass on this. The more I play with my iPad the less I play with everything else.

Looks like there might be something to Apple entering this arena after all!
