Fear it, sinners! Nubageddon is finally upon us! Lock your doors and hide your women -- Nintendo's 3DS hardware add-on releases today at GameStops across the nation to coincide with Resident Evil Revelations.
Keep in mind that in addition to supporting Revelations, the pad is slated to work in the future with Monster Hunter 3G, Metal Gear Solid 3D, Ace Combat 3D, Dynasty Warriors VS, and Kingdom Hearts 3D (as well as lefty support for Kid Icarus: Uprising). I've had the opportunity to test the pad with Revelations, and I think it works great. There are two extra shoulder buttons that allow quicker access to inventory items, the extra stick works fine, and the game instantly picks up on the Circle Pad itself.
While I wouldn't want to use it for every game on the system, busting out an optional add-on every now and then for blockbusters isn't a bad deal for $20. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen -- Prophet Holmes' predictions have seemingly come true. The world didn't end on February 7th, 2012.

Whoa whoa, Chris.. Day's not over yet.
Don't say that! There is still over 9 hours of the day left here, plenty of time for the end of all things to come!
Cthulhu could also call up any number of his homeboys to carpool with him.
I always imagine my end of the world scenarios happening at dawn, but I like your rendition better! At least then we get an extra day.
That.. Image.. My dreams will never be the same.
The end is upon us. Nubaggedon is but the first prophecy of the year of doom. Pray to your gods.
*runs and hides from MegaStryke*
If they ever bring it over...
Ahhhh Ahhhhhh Aghghhh Arrrth Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaah Ahhhhhh-
Hey, wait, I'm left handed...
*goes out to buy CPP*
What the everloving hell? Get that shit outta here! And wait, your sales pitch is a friend-of-a-friend story? Doesn't sound like a sham at all, Shams.
It keeps on disconnecting though, everytime I close the 3DS. Have you had this issue as well, chris?
It feels like what I imagine a Wii U controller will feel like.
I would say 6 months after you break down and buy the current version due to the swath of great games released by then.
^_^ ; it happens to someone everytime...
If iwata did ever turn evil and unleash a bear army upon an unsuspecting e3 crowd, that's the face I would expect him to make...
DERP.
It's okay i guess, just way too bulky to be truly portable.
Regardless hide yo' children, hide you wives, and hide yo' husbands because they be rapturing everyone out here.
You should know!
BURN.
It feels solid, easy to hold, the circle pad and top triggers are responsive and, well, it works.
Can't wait to play more games that support it.
Whenever they can cheaply mass produce those kinds of 3D screens at a certain size, I'm sure the next 3DS SKU will be XL sized with the nub built in and a longer battery life (since it has room for a larger battery)
If I'm buying a Vita there's no way I'll buy the current 3DS. It's just not a well made piece of hardware. No caving for me, lol.
