So not only would you have to buy the controller, you have to buy a specific attachment for it if you want to play a certain type of game. Third-party developers making controller attachments for their own games would get VERY costly VERY quickly.
I'm wondering how Nintendo is going to address this, too. I mean, they did say they want to make their games "more accessible".

Maybe there aren't going to be a lot of attachments. Iwata said that the analog stick one would probably come with the controller, so that's taken care of.

Maybe if a game uses a new attachment, it comes with the game? Maybe they've found a way to make them ridiculously cheap? I don't know.
