Nintendo makes 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro available in U.S.

Nintendo has released the 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro in the US.
The accessory adds an additional analog stick to the handheld console, and is compatible with a number of games including hits like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Resident Evil: Revelations, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Nintendo is selling the peripheral exclusively through their online store in the U.S., for $20.

President Satoru Iwata said last year the company would not be selling a refreshed 3DS XL with two analogs, preferring to keep the form factor smaller.


The Circle Pad Pro had been available in Japan and Europe.
