Nintendo has finally unveiled the Circle Pad Pro XL accessory that it announced back in June, and it looks like, well, an extra large version of the Circle Pad Pro. You probably expected that, to be honest.

Anyway, this peripheral adds a second analog stick to the 3DS XL, and is compatible with games like Resident Evil Revelations, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, and Kid Icarus: Uprising. You probably expected that, too.

The Circle Pad Pro XL is expected to be available in Japan sometime later this year. Ninty hasn't officially confirmed that this add-on will see the light of day in the West, but we're sure it will. In both respects.
