According to the report, once you insert the required AAA battery into the expansion device, it'll run for 480 hours. If this is accurate, you won't have to deal with the annoyance of unscrewing the battery cover very often.

You might be wondering, if the device uses only a little energy, why it doesn't just draw from the 3DS's battery. The answer, of course, is the 3DS's battery.

For one, the bizarro second analog nub will be arriving at Japanese retailers starting this December 10, and it'll run customers ¥1500 ($19.50).

Moreover, the Japenese console manufacturer revealed several titles that'll support the attachment, kicking off with Monster Hunter Tri G on Dec. 10th. Following Monster Hunter comes Biohazard Revelations (Resident Evil: Revelations outside of Japan), Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble, Dynasty Warriors VS, and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

And finally, the "Slidepad" will require a single AAA battery for use, which indicates to us that it won't bolster the battery of the 3DS it's attached to. We're making sad faces as hard as we can right now.
