There is nothing I would like more than to have more games to play on my 3DS. I have had one heck of a time recently with Super Mario 3D Land as it has showed me just how much fun the little 3D machine really is. Ever since I got my hands on the demo of Resident Evil Revelations back in June, I have been clamoring to get my hands on a retail copy of the game, and it looks like it may come with a little something extra when it releases in February.
It has been announced that when Resident Evil Revelations releases in Europe, there will be a version that contains a bundle that includes a Circle Pad Pro. Although much negativity has been said about the Circle Pad Pro, yes, even here on Infendo, it will interesting to see how the accessory is supported by Nintendo and third parties alike. If it starts becoming commonly supported by developers, perhaps Nintendo will make the inevitable 3DS redesign include a second slide pad so everyone can get in on the dual analog goodness.
I admit that I am down on the Circle Pad Pro accessory because it is just that, and accessory. Nintendo has shown time and time again that even they are reluctant to support many of their peripherals (Wii Speak, Balance Board, Zapper), so call me a cynic, but I just not ready to support Circle Pad Pro. Not yet.
What are your thoughts on the device? Do you want one? Will you buy a bundle if one is released alongside a game? Let us know!
I think that the reason that this one will be different is that it is aimed at third parties more than at Nintendo themselves to use.
If it would just use the PSP's one-analog control scheme, I would despise having Monster Hunter be localized here, but I would gladly pay an extra $10 for a dual-analog-ged handheld Monster Hunter!
And…um…Kid Icarus. From what I hear, it would benefit so much from this.
I was planning to buy RE Revelations, MGS 3D, KH 3D and Monster Hunter. When I learmed they all supported it I decided to get the Add on. So I will get this bundle if it comes out in the US
I wonder if there will be different color/decal'd pro controllers (like a Kojima "fox hound" themed pro add-on in camo-fatigue or MGS logo). If so, then we might want to wait for the bundle of our choice. I know that this is way geeky, but you never know when these companies will do this. Especially on nintendo products.
Skyward Sword fans? Quick! Go to g4tv and vote for Skyward Sword as game of the year! 🙂 Or click my name, link's in it. It's a close race between Batman, and Zelda!
(maybe make a post about it? 🙂 )
… Or just video game deathmatch, either way. lol 🙂
I do not like Circle Pad Pros and ham.
I do not like them, Nintendo-I-Am!!!!!!!!!!
Since I was definitely planning to buy one I will GLADLY buy a bundle (especially if it is discounted)!
