When I learned that this pad was recommended to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, I did not hesitate and bought it. And I did well. The second analog stick is vital if we are to survive in combat against these huge monsters; it controls the camera indeed, necessary to not let the monster out of our field of vision and have us by surprise. Without this pad is the directional pad under pad movement that should be used, or a touch cross on the second screen of the 3DS. Having tried, it is simply impossible to play well because we waste time adjusting the angle of view of the camera without being able to attack or dodge attacks of the monster. The circular Pad Pro is essential to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, I have not tested on other games, but it is recommended, it probably means do without risk of spoiling the gaming experience. The accessory is, in addition, very comfortable in hand.
