Report: Nintendo 3DS XL Getting Circle Pad Pro Accessory
The upcoming Nintendo 3DS XL handheld will be getting a Circle Pad Pro accessory like the 3DS before it, and the device has already been slated for Japan.
Kotaku reports that the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu says that a Circle Pad Pro accessory will come out in Japan sometime this year. The add-on circle pad for the 3DS XL has not been given a name yet.
A U.S. date or accessory has not been officially announced.
