First images of the Nintendo 3DS Slide Pad Expansion



Following the Nintendo 3DS Press Conference earlier today, Japanese website GameWatch were able to snap some of the first images of the recently announced Slide Pad Expansion for the handheld.

The company announced earlier that the hardware attachement would be compatible with forthcoming titles: Monster Hunter 3G, Resident Evil Revelations, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Ace Combat 3D Cross Rumble, Dynasty Warriors VS and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance.

    I am not going to lie......I really like it

    Yeah I know, it sounds odd, but it really looks comfortable to hold. Saw a video of it on IGN, and the guy said that it is lightweight, comfortable to hold, and does not make the x,y,b,a, buttons feel out of reach.

    Of course what some people have not noticed is that it does not just add an extra circle pad. It also adds two extra shoulder buttons, much like the classic controller pro did.

    The thing that I like about it, is the grips. It really looks like it will make holding the 3DS easier for longer gaming spans. And lets face it, once Monster Hunter 3 and Monster Hunter 4 (which was confirmed at TGS) hit state side, Ill be on my 3DS all the time

    Sure it makes it less portable, but im going to be honest with you....Monster Hunter is not the kind of game that I want to play on the move. I need to be able to sit down and focus when playing it. Once done, this thing will pop right off. This add on is on my to get list for sure.

    It's really starting to grow on me. After hearing of it, I didn't think I was going to get it, but was okay with it. After hearing and seeing that it's actually pretty comfortable and not at all clunky (same video as Waterworld), I think I'm going to get it, mostly for games that need that second joystick (Monster Hunter as well).

    I don't even take my 3DS out all that often, and if I do, just pop it off.
