Nintendo Reveals Japanese Release Date for 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro
How big are your hands? As expected, Nintendo is releasing a Circle Pad Pro peripheral for its large-screen 3DS XL handheld. The company revealed that the attachment will hit store shelves in Japan on November 15th and cost 1,500 yen (or roughly £12).

There's no word on a release outside of Japan just yet, but needless to say it will be hitting the West so that Kid Icarus players can get some time in on the 3DS XL.

When the 3DS XL was announced back in July, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that the company did not opt to include a second analogue stick when designing the 3DS revision, instead focusing on battery life and a smaller form factor. Which is obviously negated when you strap this thing on the side of it.

As you can see, it looks slightly different to the regular 3DS Circle Pad Pro. Are you looking forward to this peripheral? Let us know in the usual place.
