Support NeoGAF

[BAW]

I've used the CCP on every game that supports it.

I've yet to find a game that actually benefits from it tbh

If they didn't benefit, you wouldn't have used it.

 

[MisterC20XX]

Nice! It's now big enough for my manly hands!

 

[YoYo Switch]

the second nub should have been included

it should be capactive not resistive

can the 3ds even run ue3

another stinker nintendo, just pack it up, its time to go third party

Spoiler

because i secretly desperately want to play your games without having to get over my faux gamer pride and buy a nintendo system

you, know, that could've been less transparent.

Mgs3, rssident evil and kingdom hearts are games you should try at some stage.

If it didn't benefit those games, it wouldn't exist.

 

[EloquentM]

Will wait for the redesigned version with built in circle pad.

moar powaaa

Up to date hardware.

Funny.

 

[Seance]

Obligatory

The burning shame i feel for actually buying that magnifying window attatcho thing. Good lord I was dumb as a young lad. Haha.

 

[axisofweevils]

I am convinced the Circle Pad Pro was made at the behest of Capcom, and that was the price Nintendo had to pay in order to get MonHun exclusivity.

Still looks terrible. Thankfully, there's still zero games that actually require it.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

this is an example of stupid things Nintendo should avoid in the future

can you imagine something like that from Apple?

design your shit to work day 1! stop adding stupid shit late

I wonder what they forgot to add on the Wii U

Analog triggers.

Hey I had it too and it was god like. Magnified battletoads for ever.

MGS3 is still pretty bad with the CPP, Kojima prod didn't even bother putting in the option to control it like on the PS2 for some godawful reason

RER is great with it tho

 

[Gen X]

Nintendo wastes so much fossil fuels on making these plastic doohickeys.

And once upon a time all accessory packaging used to be in recyclable cardboard. Now it's in shit plastic that is not allowed in our recycle bins.

 

[EulaCapra]

Yup, this baby is in need of a good aborting. Such a behemoth.

 

[Eric C]

Not that bad

About what I expected... a Giant CPP

I like how it has an angle compared to the original CPP, should be easier to hit the abxy buttons, not that it was really hard before.

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah, i guess id wait to see if they do another 3rd party battery pack + CPP and make it a bit sleeker, at least.

then again, i can't be interested unless i see more games supporting it. not gonna do KH or MGS, already beat RE:R and KIU, so that leaves Monster Hunter, doesn't it?

 

[Gaogaogao]

how about I just wait for the final version to come with the right stick?

 

[Nibel]

What did some of you expect :lol

 

[Kokonoe]

Well, at least the circle pad is closer to the buttons this time.

 

[Sigismundo]

I think I'll stay with my normal 3DS. Cheers.

 

[Chanser]

Really need bigger pictures to really appreciate this beast.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

It looks very comfortable to use, will get the MH4 3DSXL Super Extended Whatever Bundle from e-capcom next year.

 

[EricDiesel]

I wonder what they forgot to add on the Wii U

the nex gen powers an good onlines rofl

 

[Coolwhip]

 

[ScreenSplitter]

I still have no clue why they couldn't have it fit over the massive space between the ABXY and power button. Just means you wouldn't be able to close the XL whilst using it.

Anyway; it's used for like, 4 games, and they're all playable without it.

 

[Wrestlemania]

Why on earth would you want to control it like the PS2 version? The 3DS version, even without a CPP, controls far better.

 

[Iceberg]

What I want is a Mario Kart Wheel for the 3DS XL. Any plans Hori releases an updated accesory like the one for the original 3DS?

Holding the 3DS with the Mario Kart Wheel is quite more comfortable for my hands.

Spoiler

I don't care about size

 

[tiggerkiddo]

The games I want to play don't require it so I'm fine with it.

 

[radioheadrule83]

It might not be pretty but the original CPP was more comfortable to hold than the handheld would have been with the buttons / stick built into the smaller form factor... It essentially made it feel like a home console controller, which I think was probably the entire point of it which apparently flew over everybodys head.

I'll be picking it up, definitely.

 

[Pezking]

Finally.

I want to play "Resident Evil: Revelations" badly, but I don't want to start it without the XL Circle Pad Pro.

 

[Acosta]

Lol, minimal effort.

The actual pictures will be hilarious.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

People should feel good that they have something big in their pants.

 

[IrishNinja]

is this a serious post? i thought MGS3D, without CPP, controlled like Peace Walker on PSP - buttons are used as a camera/2nd stick of sorts. if so, that's horrible man.

 

[Kokonoe]

The only way to play.

 

[SmokyDave]

Portable.

Dude, are you railing against buttons?!

I knew you'd come round.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Obligatory

I thought that was the coolest stuff when I was a kid.

made it look like a transformer

 

[IrishNinja]

oh...oh, well played, Dave

savor this moment, fiend

 

[Rootbeer]

if it stays at the $20 price point i'll probably pick one up as an impulse buy... I barely got to use my original CPP because I upgraded to a 3DS XL about 2 months after I got it... kinda miss it for KH.

 

[SmokyDave]

oh...oh, well played, Dave

savor this moment, fiend

Highlight of my day

 

[FyreWulff]

Has a single non-Japanese developer supported this yet?

 

[gogogow]

I think Nintendo should redesign the original CPP for the 3DS. The XL one is obviously more ergonomic.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

Has a single non-Japanese developer supported this yet?

Has a single non-Japanese developer made a game that would use it? Western support for the 3DS is pretty sad as usual.

 

[Nemesis_]

Mgs3, rssident evil and kingdom hearts are games you should try at some stage.

If they didn't benefit, you wouldn't have used it.

Not sure what either of you are implying - I review games and it's my JOB to actually test these things out with the games.

The only real use that is actually a REQUIREMENT is probably Kid Icarus if you're left handed.

I forgot about MGS to be honest - but KH and RE are both fine without it though I guess those games it just becomes a matter of opinion.

 

[CaptNfantasy]

Finally, right?

And, i for one am surprised that the addon makes the entire thing look larger, youd think that when you add something to another thing, that it would actually decrease its size.

 

[Wrestlemania]

Yeah, and it's fine. I'll take aiming whilst moving, crouch walking and the other various improvements at the expense of analogue aiming any day. Just a shame about the framerate, otherwise it'd be far and away the best version.

 

[BareKnuckle]

I wish it was more like a clip, just clip it on underneath the face buttons, and have a little loose wire that went from it to where ever the circle pad pro normally plugs in, it doesnt need to sit in it at all.

 

[Lusankya]

haha, big but necessary

For what games? I still haven't seen a 3DS game in the need of a second circle pad.

 

[radioheadrule83]

It's a nice option for Resident Evil, and it undoubtedly makes MGS3D play better - but that's about it. I'd like more games to use it as an option personally... I think Luigi's Mansion would be cool with a second stick. It definitely needs to be playable without though.

 

[Parakeetman]

I liked the original so will be getting this for the XL just for MH4

 

[SmokedMeat]

I got to play around with a 3DS XL and I'm still confused why Nintendo did not put a second circle pad on the system. This just looks ridiculous.

Because they know they can get everyone to buy an XL without one, and then save the dual circle pad feature for the second revision, thus making more money.

 

[Mafro]

Or, putting silly conspiracy theories aside, they just don't need it.

MGS3D is probably the only game I can recount where it actually improved the experience.
