Nintendo announces a peripheral


Nintendo today announced the next big 3DS peripheral the first official Nintendo headset for the handheld device. The device will be launching November 4th in Europe. A launch date for North America has not been announced and the devices retail cost is expected to be £24.99 with a suggested retail price of 29.99$ expected for the device upon release in North America.
The device was developed by PowerA the headset will offer features far more advanced then past handheld head sets. Like buttons for music selection the thing is with barely any MP3 capabilities what music will we use these buttons for? Another huge selling feature is full voice chat support, however with Mario Kart 7 being the first major Nintendo published title to feature online and no mention of voice chat capabilities. What good does that feature do? The only major feature that will be useful at the moment is volume control enabling you adjust the volume meaning you can use the head set like a set of headphones.
