Cyber Gadget introduces fighting peripheral for Nintendo 3DS

Want to fight like a pro in Super Smash Bros.? Here's your chance.

With Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. less than two months away from release, fighting fans are already getting ancey for the multiplayer brawler. However, there are some skirmishes where a circle pad just can't get the job done for you.

That's where Cyber Gadget comes in. This company has introduced a new add-on peripheral for the 3DS that will essentially turn it into a mini-fighting cabinet. The device clips together on both sides of the system, with an arcade style stick sitting atop the D-pad on the left side and buttons on the right hand side. Sure, you won't be able to fold up your 3DS with these attached, but, man, will you be able to fight.

The peripheral is slated for a release this October for 3,000 (or the equivalent of $30). There's no word yet on whether Cyber Gadget will release it domestically, but it appears to be very import friendly. Plus, it'll work with your cherished copy of Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. Huzzah!

      Cheap plastic cover worth $30 seems way overpriced for what most likely costs 5

      A problem that I run into with a lot of arcade sticks is that it's not weighty enough to withstand jerky pushes and pulls of the joystick. This is a big problem when I want to perform a double tap dash. The whole unit will rock and might cause unwanted movements.

      I just don't see a piece of plastic + 3ds will have enough weight. Especially against a game like Smash where double tapping directions is more common than attacking.
