[All Things 3DS] TV/Monitor-out accessory for the 3DS

3DS owners: You feel that the small screen is getting a bit cramped on your eyes? Apparently, there seems to be a third-party accessory that lets you hook up your handheld console to either a monitor or television. See that chunk of a cradle in the picture above? Supposedly that's the accessory.

But how the heck does it work? Beats me, that's what I can tell you. Sure there's an audio out on the 3DS (that's why we can use our earphones and such), but a video-out port? The other port that I see is the charging port. If it's a USB-compliant interface, then maybe that's how they did it.

Of course this wasn't the first time that the 3DS can be hooked up to an external monitor; when Kid Icarus: Uprising and Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir were released, there were booths set up with the handheld connected to an external display.

Intriguing. Hopefully it doesn't cost as much.
