Topic: Analogue Slider or Traditional Analogue Stick

I'm loving the slider pad on the 3DS but is it better than a normal analogue stick.
What are your thoughts?

Analog sticks > stupid slider pad things.

As long as they're full size (unlike the Vita's or GCN's c-stick). The DualShock line has my favorite.

...Actually I'd still prefer them over annoying slider things.

I like both equally. The way the analog stick moves feels great and "lets me know" how hard I'm pushing it. The Circle Pad gives pretty much the same feel for me (albeit in a 2D plane) and it saves space.

I love the 3DSes slider pad, nice to use and feels nice on your thumb. However, I prefer the 360s analog sticks, feels the most comfortable for me.

The Classic Controller is too tall and feels rather horrible to use. The GCN controller is nice, but again, it doesn't fit right with my thumb anymore.

Overall, the 3DSes is the nicest slider I've used on a portable and the 360s stick is the nicest slider for a home console

At first I wasn't overly impressed with the 3DS's Circle Pad... but over time it has really grown on me.
I'm happy with either if they're done well enough.

I generally like the slide pad more,but I find it hard to imagine playing games like the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with a slide pad.
