Posted by IGN on Sep 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment
My first reaction when I saw Nintendo’s 3DS Slide Pad Expansion was disbelief. There was no doubt in my mind the system should have always had a second analog stick, but this as a solution? This seemed to be the worst way possible to do it. A clunky cradle that adds significant bulk to an already so-so system design? Not so hot. Today, however, my opinion is changing a bit. I’ve had time to hold the device in my hands. Honestly, it’s not that bad.

Super Smash Land is available to download for free. No online multiplayer, though.
