Later this year, Nintendo will release a new version of the Circle Pad Pro that is compatible with the 3DS XL. There’s no date yet, but it should be available in Japan before the end of 2012. I imagine that the accessory will hit store shelves in North America and Europe sometime within the next six months.

Nintendo is preparing a couple of different 3DS XL packages around the world.

Europe and Japan will be greeted with the system that lacks a charger. The situation is different in North America, however, as the accessory will be bundled in.

We don’t know the exact reasons behind the decision to leave out the charger in Europe/Japan, but Nintendo France CEO Stephane Bole has tried to justified the situation somewhat. Bole explained that the company wouldn’t doesn’t want to “penalize the millions of DS owners” who would be forced to pay for another charger.

That’s fine and dandy, but could similar thinking have an impact on the Wii U? Maybe Nintendo would decide against bundling in a Wiimote, even though it’ll be a standard control option for many games.

Addressing the possibility, Bole said (rough translation):

“There are 200 million Wiimotes in the world. This is something you must consider before deciding which devices will be sold with the console.”

Of course, Nintendo hasn’t made an official decision regarding a Wiimote pack in with Wii U. There’s no reason to panic yet, guys!

The handy comparison above shows a screen size comparison of the 3DS XL and PlayStation Vita. What can’t be shown in the photo is that the Vita has a higher pixel density. It’s 960 x 544 for the Vita screen and 400 x 240 for the 3DS’ top screen.

I was hoping Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion would get a little more attention at this year’s E3. It looks pretty neat.

Wii U is the first console from Nintendo to implement extensive social and online elements. Miiverse will allow gamers all over the world to connect with each other simply by booting up the console. You’ll be able to communicate with players through text messages, voice chat, and more.

So how did this ambitious program come about? According to Shigeru Miyamoto, it all started with Wii Fit.
