@llort You can take it off and you don't need to get the second nub. You only use it if you want to use dual analog controls.
Sweet,I'll check it out.
It's sucks that I'll have to take out the RE:The Mercenaries 3D cover I have on it,though...

Why would they even make another 3DS battery with the impending 2nd nub poised to make all the non nub-inclusive battery packs obsolete.....
Looks great, and I might try it. Only problem I'm seeing is the whole Control Pad Pro issue. I still say people aren't going to want to fiddle around with taking things like this or the CPP (I'm done typing the whole name), specially since the design of the 3DS feels kind of flimsy.
"Yes, the grip does detract from the sexy gloss of the 3DS, but I'm sure it'll make up for that in battery life."
Yeah, but to be fair to this battery/grip, the gloss isn't all that great on the 3DS any way, and I'm not even talking about the chipping issues some people have faced. Its the whole "it looks like someone played grab ass with a crime scene" effect finger prints leave on the gloss. Its unsightly.

I miss the days of popping 2 AA batteries into my GBA and having last me a few WEEKS before I needed to worry...
It sort of reminds me of the grip thingy on the PSP. It basically adds little appendages that make it feel more like a PS1/2/3 controller, while also doubling the battery power. It was like 10 dollars, and it made my PSP much much more useful.
It also turns your 3DS into a tank.
I might consider this if it didn't completely ruin the portability.

Jesus Motherloving Crap, that's fonking GIGANTIC.
Oh, these are the wrong pictures. That's Apache Chief's 3DS. Right?

That sounds awesome! Hope they will release something for the PSVita. Would be difficult because of the back touchpad, though.

I think you're over-exaggerating a bit! Its probably still not even as big as a PSVita, so is the PSVita completely ruined for portability?

With Mario and Cart coming out this may be a necessity for me. Although I have a hard time spending any money at all on the damn thing since I haven't turned it on since I played through Zelda again..
Available now? If you follow the link and click find a retailer it provides no retailers, and says its not available online.
I want this for my man hands, the DSiXL was the perfect size and the tiny 3ds needs to bulk up a bit.

It bothers the hell out of me that Nyko doesn't have their products on Amazon when they first come out.
fel kinda dumb for buying the nyco battery that came with the 3ds launch. but to be fair the battery life on my 3ds holds up throughout the day.
I probably will leave my 3DS soon. I havent really touched it in months, and I think its cheating on me too.
"I think you're over-exaggerating a bit! Its probably still not even as big as a PSVita"
It's a lot bigger than vita. Vita isnt that much bigger than 3DS.
You're the one over-exaggerating

If you're worried about the nub pad thingy, I recommend this thing. You put 4 AA batteries ino it and use it as an external battery. The instructions are in Japanese, so I don't know how many hours you get. I got rechargeable batteries that are rated 2100mAh. And since it uses a usb cord, I'm guessing you can charge your phone too on it.

I got the Nyko powerpak+ and it's pretty darn great. doubles battery life and adds grip, so i won't be needing this.
I have the power pack plus also along with the docking station and love them both.
Im not buying anything else until nykos slide pad pro WITH 3 times the battery life

Any word on when the relaunch of the Shock-n-Rock is coming from Nyko? That was the best grip/rechargeable battery/amplified speaker/rumble accessory for the GameBoy Color!
Vita is not FATTER than the 3DS. But it doesn't fit in the pocket, it's bigger than the first iteration of the DS
Cool review, Dale. I haven't really had many problems with the battery life so far as I tend to only have 30 minute journeys to and from where I'm going most of the time, but this would be ideal for longer journeys.
alternatively you could do what I do with the dsi. I use a cheap usb charger cable for my dsi like 1$ cheap and I use a cheap usb aa battery powered charging station aa batteries have quite a lot of juice and its not really bad to have a cable sticking out going into a my pocket or bag alternatively you could connect the usb cable to a laptop on standby and leach of the laptops battery which is usually more than enough.
Dear Nintendo:
Why doesn't your God-awful Slide Pad "Pro" not have an extra battery like this thing does, and instead needs a AAA battery of it's own?

^^^ Well its not like the GBA could ever render 3D polygon games such as Resident Evil: Revelations in full 3D. All the while using 2 AA batteries and lasting "for weeks".
Plus the Vita's battery life sucks even more than the 3DS's.
