One of the first things that came to mind when I saw the Nintendo 3DS XL announced was, “There’s NO way that the current Circle Pad Pro is fitting on this thing”.  While most thought Nintendo should just throw another Circle Pad on the upcoming handheld re-model, this is actually harder than it sounds, and would end up cluttering the system.  So, with that in mind, Nintendo has announced that they plan on releasing a Circle Pad Pro for the 3DS XL this year in Japan, and most likely in North America.  Like it?  Hate it?  Share your opinions. -Greg Boe (admin)
