Sure, Nintendo could’ve made the 3DS XL even larger by attaching a second analog stick to it, but what fun would that be? Instead, Nintendo’s launching an evolved Circle Pad Pro attachment for the larger 3DS “some time this year,” according to Famitsu (via Andriasang).
The attachment was outed in the latest issue of the Japanese game mag, though it sadly lacked images (perhaps they were too large for a standard magazine?). Nintendo hasn’t confirmed the attachment for North American retail just yet, but it’s a safe bet it’ll arrive here as well.
And yes – stop worrying – the 3DS stand from Kid Icarus is said to still work with this new, supersized attachment. Whew.
