Circle Pad Pro accessory will ruin your Nintendo 3DS XL's silhouette for $20

It's a good question and finally one worth asking now that Nintendo has announced that the currently Japan-only Circle Pad Pro for the XL will start shipping in the States tomorrow. When we went hands-on last year, we found that it added predictable amounts of girth and also blocked the cartridge port, but compensated by making the handheld more comfortable to use, not least by adding larger shoulder buttons as well as the thumb stick. It's also worth pointing out that the smaller 3DS version of the accessory enabled better controls for left-handed players in <i>Kid Icarus</i>, so there could be some subtler benefits too. We've embedded our hands-on video after the break, so you just need to hold a $20 bill up against your screen and decide which looks better.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-324a484f" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/324a484f/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=97510463&disablebranding=0&view_secret=97510463" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>

Luigi edition Nintendo 3DS LL gives Mario's brother his due, but only in Japan

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Nintendo 3DS LL Luigi edition" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/luigi3dsxl619pxhedimg.jpg" /></div>There must be some kind of unstated rule that Nintendo can never give the US a special edition handheld without releasing some Japan-focused models. While the company was busy promising Americans an <em>Animal Crossing</em> 3DS XL of their very own, it was also introducing a Luigi edition 3DS LL for its home country as part of its "Year of Luigi" theme -- not fair, Nintendo. The system is decked out in a camouflage-like pattern that pays tribute to Mario's oft-neglected sibling, and it should ship with a preloaded copy of <em>Mario and Luigi: Dream Team</em> just to drive the point home. Local gamers will get the distinctly-patterned 3DS LL on June 18th, but there's no word on an XL equivalent for the US so far. We'll just have to make do with Mario-colored devices instead.<br /> </div></div>

"Pink Gloss" and "Light Blue" colors will arrive to the handheld console on March 20th along with a boost in memory from the usual 2GB to 4GB for 15,000 yen (about $160). The rug might be pulled from under your brightly-hued dreams if you're not in Japan, though -- only players in that country will be able to nab it.<br /> </div></div>
