Its a product for the OLD 3DS XL, I've seen some reviews of people telling that doesn't fit their "brande new 3DS XL", because you bought a New 3DS XL, the New 3DS XL already has a second circle pad next to the A/B/X/Y buttons.Back to the product, its japanese but it suits every old 3DS XL, really easy to put on. It already comes with a battery and even has a battery saving capacity wich disables the circle pad each time that you close or turn down your 3DS. The circle pad itself consumes much less energy than what you might think because it only powers 3 buttons and a circle pad, orders of their movments are powered from the 3DS so tehre isn't much of a problem there,you will spend some time without changing the batteries even if you play it all day long.The circle pad feels a bit more lose than the one on the 3DS itself which you might expect of being from low quality but in fact this circle was made that way to make for faster camera movment and this adding some precision to the games like monster hunter, metal gear solid 3D or Kingdom Hearts which will benefit greatly from this tool.It comes equiped with a right that will be a substitute for your 3DS right sholder and comes equiped with a ZL and ZR buttons that feel pretty strong and durable which is good for me because I became a pussy with shoulder buttons on portable consoles since I had a problem with my NDS in the past.The handle is pretty strong and corrects some of the problems that the first N3DS's had like playing an intense game without volume and suddenly turning up the volume with your left hand. Overall it works really well and you can grab better to your 3DS like a controler, the only problem being it makes it look bigger.The only issue that makes me not givee it 5 stars its a thing that nintendo forgot to think of, the circle pad covers the wi-fi switch. For people that usually dont play online and play on it just once in a while and like to have a longer battery life, will find this pretty annoying because you have to slide of the circle pad all the way just to turn it on and off, turns out pretty bad in games like monster hunter. Well at least its easy to take it of and put it on. In the end is just a piece of plastic that can change your gameplay if you really like to have a more precise camera in some games if you dont have a New 3DS because if you have one, you won't be needing this stuff.Its a good item for intense old 3DS owners, its not expensive and still feels right.Maybe in the future I'll post a youtube video here with my review.

Heard mixed reviews about the circle pad pro but in my opinion it was worth the purchase.Battery life can catch you out at times, and the selection of games which supports it is limited.However simply for playing Monster Hunter 4 alone this was worth the money, definitely worth the purchase for any monster hunter nuts out there!The analogue stick feels great and almost identical to the one on my 3DS XL. Also the plastic moulding makes my DS feel much more comfortable to hold, even though it makes it larger.I can see how the short list of supported games would put off some people but its getting a 5* from me. Don't hunt monsters without it!

Great accessory. I just missed out on the last of the UK stock apparently. I don't know why they selling these here, well probably to encourage people to buy the N3DS but I much prefer the CPP to the nub on the N3DS.It is essential if you are going to be using certain weapons in MH4 (the light/heavy guns), the touchscreen controls just don't let you control finely enough. Its also good if you are just going to be playing it a lot and don't want to use the touch screen stick controls, which leaves free space on touch screen to assign to other stuff.It is pretty hefty and bulky though. I can't fit my XL in my jacket pocket anymore.

Fits my original (i.e. not the one with the little c stick) 3DS XL perfectly.Came with the battery needed (AAA) and the compartment for the battery is designed so that it can be unscrewed with just a coin. I used a random 1p that I had lying around.I bought this to play Final Fantasy Explorers after finding the normal camera controls horrendous (this thing helps greatly!), but I may even use this with games that don't make use of it as it makes the 3DS XL much more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time.Bear in mind that with this thing in place it is impossible to get to the sd card slot or the stylus.

Bought this for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate so I could use my camera controls easier and aim my Bowgun better. It took a little bit of getting used to but that isnt the product, thats me using different controls. Your 3DS XL slots in perfectly and in-game options let you activate it and MH4U lets you change what the shoulder buttons do, although I just left them as default.One problem I have with it is when the 3DSXL is in the Circle Pad Pro, you can't turn wireless on/off without taking out the DS. It is simple to slide in and out so this is a non-issue but for convenience sake its annoying.

I haven't upgraded to the newest Nintendo 3DS as I find it too expensive. Therefore I decided to buy this for any games that would require a separate camera movement. It hasn't failed me at all. I Iove using it with my MH4 as it makes chasing monsters easier to do since I don't need to fool around with the other controls. I recommend this to anyone!

This attachment gives a little more control over some games with the right circle control, however the thicker feel gives the 3ds xl a more gamepad sensation. The games I have duplicate the L and R buttons on to the larger ZL and ZR buttons making them easier to find sometimes. It is not an essential buy but for those it suits it is useful.

This is a must have for any original 3DS XL owner , came as described and fit my ds perfectly. Works great with monster hunter ultimate , helps give the game a completely differenr feel . I would recomend this to anyone with the origonal 3DS XL (not the new one , whitch i think people have done ) also one of the best prices around .

I use the circle pad pro for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. It is an absolute life saver! it allows the camera to move with the stick freeing the shoulder buttons.Although it is a rather redundant piece of kit because it suits maybe a dozen games max. the games it does work with dramatically improve!

Came a whole lot faster than i expected so that was a bonus. The product was bought for Monster Hunter 4 ultimate, while it isn't necessary, i cant imagine playing without it. Very glad i decided to order it. Jolly good.

Extremely fast delivery, packaging and instructions all in japanese but that was expected and the pictures are enough to explain what to do. Doesn't come with battery so you will need an AAA to use it.

Excellent product. Really makes the 3ds more comfortable to hold, especially for longer sessions of gaming the 3dsxl original design can be uncomfortable at times, this perfectly deals with that issue.

Brought this just for the purpose for the circle pad. The circle pad is very responsive and is easy to hold.This product to my surprise is very comfortable and my 3ds slots into it easily.

Took a while to arrive but its worth the wait, bought this product from japan because my husband is mad on everything japanese! so having it imported really impressed him
