Questions & Answers

Is this truly compatible with the XL system? I'd like to double-check before purchasing. ?

The xl is unquestionably compatible. It's very comfortable to play for extended periods of time.

Will this work with the C stick and ZL ZR buttons on the New 3DS XL?

No, the new 3ds XL is a little bigger and won't fit. It's best to stick with the original 3ds XL because there's only one that will fit.

Will it be compatible with the Nintendo 3DS's new Pokemon edition?

Because it is thicker than the older version, it will not fit any of the "NEW" 3DS XL models. As a result, the answer is a resounding no.

Is this compatible with the Nintendo DSi XL?

Yes, I bought it for my boyfriend, who wears a size XL.

It has a pleasant grip and is comparable in quality to the
5/5

It was exactly what I was looking for. I used to be able to play the 3DS for about 30 minutes before getting cramps in my hands. I haven't had any hand cramps since I started using this attachment. It has a pleasant feel to it, and the quality of the plastic is comparable to that of a PS4 remote. It gives the 3DS a little more heft. This item is only compatible with the original 3DS XL (LL in Japan). It was not designed to work with the new 3DS XL or 2DS XL. It is relatively simple to distinguish between systems. The new systems include a thumb stick in addition to the four buttons on the right side, whereas the old 3DS XL, for which this product was designed, did not. Remove the stylus before snapping this on, and it will fit perfectly. I compared it to the Nintendo Switch, and the 3DS with this attachment is, in my opinion, more comfortable to hold than the Switch. It was a good investment.

Five out of five stars
5/5

This is something I don't regret at all; I was having a lot of issues with my 3DS, primarily because I'm not used to the console's size. I was developing severe finger cramps as a result of it, which made playing games like Super Smash Brothers or Monster Hunter extremely painful. I wasn't sure if this was the best buy at first, especially after reading some of the reviews about how difficult it was to take off and how there was no place to put your stylus. br>br>As a result, I completely dismiss those remarks. I adore this grip, and it's a shame Nintendo didn't think of it first: it fits snugly, feels comfortable and natural to grip in your hands, and while you might not think you'd use a stand, it makes perfect sense if you just want to set it down for a while. Many people have given it a lower rating due to how difficult it is to remove from the console, but I didn't have much trouble with it. I can easily pull it off if I concentrate on one side first, then the other. br>br>The only thing I have any reservations about is the purchasing process, but that's only because you won't get accurate shipment/arrival dates, in my experience. It was supposed to arrive at the end of June, according to my paperwork. Instead, if my memory serves me correctly, it arrived within a week. br>br>Five out of five stars. This is something I don't regret buying, and if you can get past the fact that it's 'difficult' to remove or that there's no place for a stylus, it's a great buy. You, too, I believe, will not be sorry.

It's great for people who have larger hands and experience cramps or pains while playing their 3DS, but it's not perfect
4/5

It's as if you're using a real gamepad. However, there are a few flaws to be aware of: Pressing the L and R buttons can be inconvenient due to the shape and location of your hands, and it will take some practice to get used to them, and 2. It can be difficult to remove, but the security tabs in the back can be safely removed if you work slowly and patiently with them. (It also prevents you from using your stylus. ) ) Personally, I don't find any of the disadvantages to be particularly bothersome, and I would recommend this product. br>br>Edit: The distance between the L and R buttons has become so familiar to me that I no longer notice it. It's ideal for Sm4sh gameplay.

It's perfect! I'll admit that I'm writing this review because of previous buyers' misinterpretations of photos
4/5

br>br>This is only for the Nintendo 3DS XL. People who have photos of a 3DS that doesn't fit were attempting to replace it with a NEW 3DS XL. The word "new" is highlighted. " That is the name of the creature. On the 3DS itself, you should be able to find the name of the specific 3DS you own. The bottom of the page has my name written on it. I'm guessing the same is true for other console versions. Congratulations if you have a New 3DS XL rather than a regular 3DS XL: You now have a wider range of choices. If you own a New 3DS XL, I hope this article has saved you the trouble of purchasing the incorrect ergonomic grip. If you have a regular 3DS XL, I suppose I'll give it a review. (Normally, I wouldn't go to the trouble. ) )br>br>Advantages: )br>br>
- It has a snug fit.
- Holds its shape well.
- My hand has yet to feel the sting of pain. br>br>Cons:
- I wish the L and R buttons were a little easier to find. This is more of a quibble than a serious issue.
- There is no place to keep your stylus. This is a ridiculous omission, especially since there appears to be enough room in the design for one. br>br>Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase, but the stylus will require further investigation. As a result, the rating is only four stars.

Although having it is preferable to not having it, there is no place to store the stylus
4/5

I have small hands, and this grip has been quite comfortable for me (much more so than playing the 3DS without it). Unfortunately, the attachment itself blocks the stylus storage hole, which is a major flaw. This is especially aggravating because the grip is firmly attached to the device, and you won't want to remove it every time you need to use the stylus. Not only that, but because styluses are so small, you're much more likely to lose them if you just leave them out of the system. It makes playing on the 3DS a chore for long games that require a lot of stylus input, such as Professor Layton. That said, the 3DS is a very uncomfortable system to hold, and this grip makes it a lot more bearable to hold, especially for difficult games like Mario Kart, which require a good grip to play without getting hand cramps, and I think it raises it a notch just for that. The grip is excellent, but there is one minor flaw.

5/5

jpg. The size and shape are ideal. It feels like I'm holding an Xbox 360 controller thanks to the grip. I only wish the back locking tabs were a little easier to release so you could remove the grips by hand; I have to use a flathead screwdriver to pop the locking tabs. Another request is a stylus holder, as the built-in one is blocked. Still, for the price, I'm pleased with the design and would purchase another if they made the minor changes that I suggested.
