Nintendo 3DS slide pad dedicated expansion

When I received the product, it was kind of dirty and clearly used more than what was advertised. It was nothing a few cleaning pads couldnt fix. The additional pad initially feels great since I have larger hands, but getting used to using the extra shoulder buttons took some time. I was playing Kid Icuras, so that probably wasnt the best game to start playing right off the bat, lol. Still, it does make games easier to play. The bulkier 3DS is a plus as well.

THIS IS FOR THE 3DS XL NOT THE 3DS SHOWN

As far as usefulness goes its really good! Unfortunately its not made for XLs and you need a flathead screwdriver just to open the battery case.

So I bought this knowing that it would only work for certain games, but I was hoping for something that would make holding the 3DS more comfortable. It is easier to hold but makes the system more bulky, and although the circle pad pro doesnt weigh much, you do feel the difference holding the 3DS when its attached. I also thought (incorrectly) that since the R button is now in an awkward position, that the system itself would recognize the Circle Pad Pro and make the R button on the Circle Pad Pro the default R button, but it doesnt. Unless the game itself recognizes the Circle Pad Pro, youll still have to use the standard R button on the 3DS, which is now in a more awkward to reach place. I couldnt find any settings in the 3DS menu that will allow the 3DS itself to recognize the Circle Pad Pro. Overall, its not a bad attachment and does make the 3DS more comfortable but the complete lack of support for other titles, even just the lack of remapping the R button, makes it not really worth it.

It makes your 3DS bulky and ugly, but its a great extension. The second slider feels the same as the one on the console and the additional buttons are great. If you put your 3DS to sleep, the accessory occasionally disconnects when you wake the console up. It works just fine after reconnecting. The quality is great coming straight from Nintendo. I would definitely recommend it for anyone not looking to upgrade to the New 3DS.

Great! No defects.

I havent taken this thing off of my 3ds since I bought it and I also purchased the 3ds XL version for my girlfriend. Some people have mentioned the size as being a bit bulky but, for my big hands, this things a godsend.

Got it quick and it works great

Good

Came on time and is working without any issues, fits perfectly in my hands as well. Definitely recommended for games like Monster hunter and other action oriented games.
