Seriously, the original 3DS was poorly made.
Complain about the size and clarity of the original DS but that thing was a tank.
By the way, this happened during a spirited online match of Mario Kart 7.
The d-pad also developed the cracking/chipped paint with regular use. Or maybe I have acid thumb grease.

If you somehow cracked your Dpad that probably means you didn't take care of it very well to begin with.
After playing a few 3DS games, I realize I hate the stock 3DS pad. Does anyone sell replacement tops?
I'd kill to have something like the new XBone controller grip around the side thingy. That seems really neat.
is this a thread about 3DS (XL) hardware issues?
:/ sigh

Make sure you get a police report before you call Nintendo.

How's he supposed to take pics without his circle pad?
That's what I'd like to know. It's smaller and seems tighter than on the OG 3DS.So is this something I should be worried about for the XL?
Mine doesn't feel good anymore. It felt like it can came off anytime. Got it last year, and this is after hundreds of hours of heavy MH3G usage. Last game I played was ALBW and this is where I really feel it.Has this issue been known to affect the 3DS XL? The circle pad design there appears different. For one thing, it's smaller in diameter.
This thread scares me. I thought it'd be a joke thread, like people's Gamepad A buttons falling off.
Edit: My 3DS's touch screen is already damaged by Uprising, and I foxtrotted a lot in that game with the Circle Pad but mine is still on. ...So...

This happened to mine last month.
I just plopped it back on and forgot about it. It can twist around under my thumb but IDGAF.
The d-pad issue is pretty common.If you somehow cracked your Dpad that probably means you didn't take care of it very well to begin with.
Nice bump. And no, this only seems to occur with really rough usage.Is this a known problem for the 3DS XL and 2DS?
I stopped by a store to check out the 3DS XL once again during lunch, and I noticed this store's demo unit's circle pad was missing. Seems like it broke under use.
I wonder what is going to happen once Nintendo releases Smash for the 3DS.

Who doesn't play Smash rough?
100 hours of Smash-to-dodge Kid Icarus Uprising and 80 hours of Dead or Alive: Dimensions - Circle Pad managed it like a champ. I guess you need to be really rough for the Circle Pad to come off.
My Circle Pad is great.
Over 60 hours of KIU, hundreds of SSF4 which requires severe motion and tons of MH3U, with zero signs of breakage.
This is on an OG 3DS, so come at me Smash.
I don't feel the 3DS/XL quality is on par with their earlier handhelds. Better than my white DS lite which developed a crack in the hinge and years later proceeded to break in half after dropping it a foot on a tile surface.OK. I might pick up a 2DS soon.
That 3DS XL screen though. However, I bumped up this thread for a reason upon seeing that demo unit.
I thought Nintendo had a reputation for building quality products that stand the test of time.
Been going back and forth because of build qualities.

You really shouldn't judge a console build quality on a demo unit, they are never treated with the best of care.
