## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi,I want this for my 4 years son and just want to know if this would be suitable game to play?
Thanks**
A: First you should make sure your son's console is 3DS or 3DS XL, because 3DS XL is larger. Second, there are only very few games really need this Circle Pad Pro; and most of these games are for older children, for example, Resident Evil or Monster Hunter, and they are for teenagers. Third, this kit is too big to fit a four-year-old's hands. So all in all, I definitely wouldn't recommend this for your boy.

**Q: Does this work with the new 2ds xl?**
A: It probably wouldn't work, but I doubt you'd need it since the New 2DS XL model comes with a C-Stick like the other New 3DS models.

**Q: I bought this to use for monster hunter 4 ultimate, put a fresh battery in and nothing will work on it whatsoever, none of the buttons are working?**
A: You need to activate it in the game settings. If not then the system settings if I remember correctly

**Q: Hi, I am just wondering whether this will fit with the New 3DS XL, or just the older 3DS XL model?**
A: I would say that it's best for the older 3DS XL model (as the New 3DS XL has a circle pad already built-in).

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works great for games that have two axes of camera movement
*by S***J on 4 January 2016*

It works great for games that have two axes of camera movement. Games like Monster Hunter 4 benefit highly from this.I'm not sure if the normal 3DS feels different but this one for the 3DS XL feels great in your hands. I am contemplating having it attached whenever I use my 3DS XL just because of the ergonomics of it. Holding a 3DS/3DSXL normally can get uncomfortable after a while just due to its shape not really being optimised for its purpose. The Circle Pad Pro offers a nice curvature on its right side, allowing your hand to grip it comfortably.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built, but under used
*by M***E on 23 April 2013*

The Circle Pad Pro is a sturdy, good quality add on for my 3DS XL, and the extra circle pad and shoulder buttons do make playing Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate much easier. However, right now that really is the only game to support this peripheral, with few games planning to use it in the near future.Physically my only criticism is that you cannot access the stylus whilst the console is in place, although it is held snugly and the charging and audio ports are still accessible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessary for Monster Hunter
*by E***M on 10 June 2013*

I bought this solely for Monster Hunter. I personally didn't feel like I completely needed this as I had got use to using the touch screen for the camera. However, I think when the battles became more difficult and intense, I can't quite imagine not using this. The extra circle pad was helpful for changing the camera in a smoother and slick way. This was not the only benefit of the circle pad pro xl though as the extra shoulder buttons are definitely useful. I mapped these to also help move the position of the camera gradually left and right. This is more helpful when you need your thumb for performing attacks and you can't change the camera position with the extra circle pad at the same time. So in some cases, the extra buttons may be more helpful for camera changes for that reason.I thought the downside would be the battery life since I'd prefer being able to charge the circle pad pro rather than replace with batteries but I've been playing Monster Hunter for at least 80 hours and the battery life of the circle pad pro is still seemingly going strong. My boyfriend absolutely refuses to play Monster Hunter without the circle pad pro so initially I have to give my one to him and ended up buying another one for myself again. For him this is compulsory for the game. The only downside I can think of is that it is slightly bulky for me but apart from that I can't really fault it. Battery life is great (my boyfriend has been playing Monster Hunter at least 10 more hours than I have and the battery on his one has not ran out yet) and I'm glad there's extra buttons along with the extra circle pad.I'd recommend this for people who want to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear Solid.
