3DS XL owners will once again be able to play some of their games more comfortably.

The Nintendo 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro will release in Japan on November 15 at a price of 1,500 yen ($19).

The Circle Pad Pro that was released for the original 3DS is not quite the right size for the newer iteration of the handheld. For games like Monster Hunter, the additional circle pad is a very helpful feature. The peripheral will be reaching store shelves soon so those in Japan that want to play specific games with two circle pads on their 3DS XL will be able to.

Currently there has been no official announcement of the XL's Circle Pad Pro making its way outside of Japan. However, with next year's release of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, we will likely see the device released in the West.
