Also of note is that the Circle Pad Pro will be coming out on Feburary 7th. It’s an accessory attachment for the 3DS that fits on the system adding a second analog Circle Pad on the right side. Along the CPP will add new shoulder buttons to give you that controller feel to your 3DS experience. It’s going to availble through GameStop retail shops and online for the recommended price of $19.99 (USD).
So there you have it, a look ahead at what’s coming from Nintendo and third party publishers across the Nintendo sphere of systems, some of those titles I’m looking forward too and if you are also, might want to save a few penny’s this holiday season and just send everyone IOU cards. :D
"I've been gaming since I stood on milk crates to reach the controls. New games, retro games, you name it, I probably love it."
