Nintendo has revealed that the XL Circle Pad Pro will come to Japan on November 15th. The supersized peripheral will be available for 1,500 yen (roughly equivalent to $19) and, like its smaller cousin before it, will add a second analog stick for use in 3DS games.
The accessory was originally confirmed in June and we got our first look during the Tokyo Game Show last month. It follows the original Circle Pad Pro, which launched alongside Resident Evil Revelations in the United States.
The Circle Pad Pro is currently compatible with Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater, among others. For now, the XL version has only been announced for Japan, but we’ve reached out to Nintendo about whether it will be headed West and will update this story with any comment we receive.
Until then, watch our impressions of the Circle Pad Pro XL in the video above, and read Nintendo global president Satoru Iwata’s thoughts on why the 3DS XL doesn’t have a second circle pad built in.
