3DS XL Circle Pad Covers On Their Way

Posted in 3DS Accessories, 3DS News, News, News By System | Leave a comment

There have been a good deal of accessories for the 3DS and the 3DS XL that greatly improve the aesthetic from the wonderful beauty that Nintendo developed. This has ranged from skins to useful extra circle pads and even special charms to dangle off your device. Well, this new accessory is very small, almost negligible, but could really accent your system, if it is used correctly. The entire accessory, from Cyber Gadget, is just a cap that goes over your circle pad so that it doesn’t get scratched and tattered after long ours of use and it gives a nice change or color, or maybe not if you so desire. Regardless, it’s a wonderful addition to your system if you can get your hands on it (we currently expect it to be available only in Japan). -Ryan Baxter

While this may not be a game-changing accessory, but it certainly adds something to the system! Keep us with Nintendo Charged for the latest news in the gaming world as it is revealed!

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is going to be hitting the shelves this March so Capcom decided that this would be a wonderful opportunity to make some more money.

They are currently available for pre-order on the Capcom store if you’re that eager for this protector.

Also, if you want to use accessories, the case can be adjusted accordingly. -Ryan Baxter

Latest 3DS System Update Kills Flashcards

Posted in 3DS Accessories, 3DS News, 3DS System Update, News | Leave a comment

Flashcards…  Oh God, how I hate them so.  Flashcards have attempted to destroy the gaming industry by stealing software for games.  Anyone who uses them should, in my opinion, be guilty of theft.  Anyways, Nintendo has decided to lower piracy rates on the 3DS by disabling flashcard makers the ability to update their device’s software.  They have done so via the latest firmware upgrade on the 3DS.  It’s about darn time.

Nyko’s NEW Power Grip + Power Saver!

Posted in 3DS Accessories, 3DS News | 4 Comments

When you play 3DS, you may find your hand falling asleep after so long. This is based on the shape of the 3DS and the way that it is naturally held. However, there is a solution. The Nyko Power Grip solves this problem. It is an attachment for the 3DS that has grooves on the bottom, allowing the 3DS to be comfortably played until it runs out of power! This won’t happen soon, either, because of the other ability this attachment offers. It acts as a rechargeable battery pack that you mount on the back of the 3DS. This can extend the battery life up to 3 hours! Now you can play your 3DS even longer without being tied to a wall! - Ryan Baxter

3DS Wheel Accessory to Be Released Alongside Mario Kart 7

Posted in 3DS Accessories, 3DS News, Mario Kart 7 | 2 Comments

When Mario Kart Wii was released in 2008, gamers were introduced to the awesomeness of the Wii Wheel accessory.  Mario Kart 7 will be racing to the Nintendo 3DS this December, and there will be a new 3DS Wheel accessory that will be sold (separately) alongside the game in Japan.  There’s no word yet on a release in other regions, but you should expect to hear more about it during November.  To me, this clunky accessory takes the “portable” out of portable gaming, but it could prove to be very fun to use while at home.  What do you think, readers?  Let us know your thoughts in the comments! - Greg Boe (admin)
