Similar to the release for the original 3DS, Nintendo has confirmed that it will also be releasing Circle Pad Pro for it’s much larger iteration, the Nintendo 3DS XL.

The Circle Pad Pro add-on gives the 3DS access to a second analog stick (which will make your Monster Hunter sessions quite more comfy) but unfortunately doesn’t provide a battery pack to extend your gaming sessions (this is available separately though both accessories can’t be used at once).

No word on pricing or release date for the Nintendo 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro but it’s likely to hit stores alongside the release of Monster Hunter 4 in Japan next March.
