Some exciting news for fans of the Nintendo 3DS!

Nintendo is introducing an optional accessory that gives Nintendo 3DS owners a second analog stick to control compatible games. The highly-anticipated Circle Pad Pro will launch in Canada on Feb. 7. It will be sold through EB Games stores and online at http://www.ebgames.ca/ at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

The Circle Pad Pro is a comfortable cradle that holds the Nintendo 3DS system while adding an analog Circle Pad on the system’s right side. The attachment also adds additional shoulder buttons to give it a feel more akin to traditional console controllers. It is designed as an optional accessory and is compatible with Kid Icarus: Uprising, Resident Evil Revelations and METAL GEAR SOLID 3D Snake Eater.
