3DS Circle Pad add-on up for pre-order in Japan

Japanese pre-orders have opened for the 3DS’s Monster Hunter 3G-centric second circle pad attachment. The peripheral goes on sale on December 10 alongside the new game, and fetches ¥1,500 – about $20.

Still no word from Nintendo as to when we’ll see the add-on in the West, although Capcom has hinted it will localise Monster Hunter 3G.

Thanks, Engadget.

Thats just a fucking brilliant idea Nintendo. First ripping off with the system’s price, than ripping off people by selling this for 20$ for one game.

Morons. I will never buy 3DS, even if The world Ends With You 2 will be announced.

I will sit for emulator on the PC. Fuck it.

Sony could really soak up the disappointed masses with the Vita now if they do things right. But… I suspect that they won’t, with this being Sony, and that balls will be dropped.

So that’s interesting. If Sony equally fouls up the Vita too, that leaves the door open to potentially more people developing for mobile devices like Android and iOS tablets and phones.
