The strange-looking Stream Controller Valve introduced to us in September was innovative, ambitious, and unworkable from a backwards compatibility standpoint. Today Valve announced the release version of the controller will drop the screen in favor of a d-pad and standard controller buttons.
Last month I talked about a very personal and embarrassing problem that I have when it comes to touch screen gaming: sweaty hands. In the days and weeks after, many kind readers sent in solutions for me, ranging from surgery to gamer gloves. But the solution that really caught my eye was the RYG Thumbslip.
Time to level with all of you. I have an embarrassing secret. My hands sweat… a lot.

Street Fighter IV for the iPhone mapped your special moves to a single button. Super Street Fighter IV 3D for the Nintendo 3DS simplifies things even further.
Man, imagine playing an iPhone game on this bad boy.
