So the Circle Pad has recently (after the release of smashbros) been talked about multiple times because it tends to break, but thats the disk and not the base nub if im right?
Also if you would go with that option would it be possible to put a Pyra disk on my 3ds and vice versa?
Well Nintendo anounced a new 3DS in Japan it features a second stick (wich looks like a mini button) and a second pair of shoulder buttons
Picture of the back:
I know this may be of little relevance to the project but it is in the same form factor as the Pyra so i think it's worth a look.
