Hardware NYKO POWER GRIP PRO AWESOME!

[KingVamp]

I have a PP+, and it has served me well, giving me a little more bulk for my big hands as well as increased battery life. But, I will definitely replace it with the PGP as it fits my needs more so along with the capabilities of the CPP.

Then a XL comes out next e3.

Im very disappointing that the PowerPak+ does not work with it. Poor show in my opinion. It costs 3x the amount to ship it to the UK.

Confirmed:

Will not work with the PowerPak+.

What were you expecting, honestly? I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect that this new, unrelated peripheral that adds bulk to the 3DS would be compatible with ANOTHER peripheral that also adds bulk to the 3DS. if they had made this separate without the battery extension, people would complain that it doesn't put both in one. And it's overall cheaper for people who haven't already bought the PowerPak+. Just my opinion

Wow that doesnt make me hate the circle pad pro.

I have a Power Pak+ and I'm very interested in this!
You should not expect it to be compatible with Power Pak+, it's a batery extender,
it would cost a lot to make this compatible with PP+ and wouldn't be much better!

It would probably also be much bulkier than even the original CPP, which would almost completely destroy the point of making the CPP+ in the first place.

So it makes it fatter, so it wont fit in a 3DS case/pouch. Oh and it makes it longer, so it wont fit in a 3DS case/pouch.

Which is unfortunate for the 5 people that own/use the 3DS case or pouch.

So they are the only people who care about their 3DS? Because I sure as hell dont want my 3DS broken.

In case you haven't already noticed though the Power Grip Pro itself encapsulates the system, which is protecting it.

But yeah I get that the whole thing could use a pouch or something for when you put it into a bag or such.

I agree, it does protect the system. However I must again argue that the product would cost me £30, which for me is quite a lot of money. As a result, I want that to be protected.

I wonder if this protects the bottom screen from touching the top screen. It would be awesome!
