3DS SLIDEPAD BROKE PRO
It fits perfectly in my hands and makes the 3DS feel really nice while gaming but that’s also where I noticed the first two problems of this accessory.įirst of all, you can’t access the Wifi Switch, Cartridge Slot and Stylus and this Circle Pad Pro isn’t active in the HomeMenu. I put my 3DS XL in it to see how nicely it feels in my hands and I have to say that I really like the feeling.
3DS SLIDEPAD BROKE HOW TO
It also features a simple instruction on how to put your 3DS in it. It is pretty decently manufactured and funnily enough, this Japanese Circle Pad Pro has English writings on it. I took a closer look at it and held it in my hands the first time. (Whoever reads it first can use it 😉 ) Since the EUR Circle Pad Pro was out of stock I got the Japanese one but not like everything else in the 3DS world, you can use this on every region 3DS 😉Īfter opening the battery cover of the Circle Pad Pro and put the batteries in it.
3DS SLIDEPAD BROKE MANUAL
When you open the package you will be greeted by the Circle Pad Pro, Batteries, a manual and a code for Club Nintendo. My Package had a slight bump in it but nothing in it got damaged so I’ll let that slide. So without further talking let’s dive straight into the Review to show what’s right and wrong with this nifty little 3DS Accessory.įirst, of let’s take a look at the package, the Circle Pad Pro arrives in.

Not having researched into this device too much, I got hyped and waited patiently (or not) for the package to arrive so that I could finally test this magical device.Īfter it arrived and I began testing and there were a few things that I immediately noticed that made me lose the hype. A second analog stick for the 3DS with an additional R Trigger & ZR/ZL Trigger. However, Nintendo’s standard operating procedure dictates that when the company releases something in Japan, the states will see the same device several months later meaning the Slidepad will likely launch elsewhere in 2012.I was offered to review the Circle Pad Pro, I thought, Oh gosh this seems to good to be true. Since its exsitance wasn’t announced through the usual PR channels, there’s no official word on when its hitting the states. Because, you know, it would be nice to get a little something extra out of the massive thing riding shotgun on the 3DS. The add-on runs on a single AAA rather than sporting a newfangled battery pack to extend the life of the 3DS. The Slidepad, if that it’s real name, will hit Japanese retailers December 10 for ¥1500 ($19.50). The high price, coupled with lackluster launch titles, caused the 3DS to stumble out of the gate and ultimately lead to a major price reduction. Then came the 3DS, built around a gimmick rather than a new paradigm. The Gameboy, the DS, the N64, and Wii were novel ideas and therefore prospered in the marketplace. They had a good run, right? Nearly every product from the last 10 years save the Gamecube has been built by beautiful geniuses set to change the gaming world. Instead, the 3DS add-on just appeared on the gaming company’s website as if they were a tad embarrassed, or rather confused, about its existence. Nintendo took to the Tokyo Game Show stage today to announce several new products including the new features of 3D video capture and upgraded online distribution.
