Don't see a topic for the circle pad yet. Anybody want one? I actually might think about it cause the 3DS is awkward for me to hold and it adds a little bit of bulk.
 
Getting one with the new RE game. I agree with the current awkwardness of the 3DS. It's weird though, because I don't remember having this problem with my DS Lite. They're both flat but for some reason the 3DS feels a bit off.

I like the smooth, roundedness that this contraption will bring. Plus, I can't imagine playing an RE game with 1 thumb stick.
 
Wait, just read the article. It's a GS exclusive?!!?!?!?!

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

That's ridiculous. I seriously hope Amazon has an RE bundle with it. Screw GS.
 
For some reason, I think it's the weight of the top screen. It kinda feels lopsided and top heavy.
 
That makes sense. It is top heavy. But I also think it's the button placement as well. That could just be me though.
 
I almost want the bottom to be thicker, cause the triggers feel strange to me. I'm sitting there trying to play MK7 and my hand starts to cramp from having to hit the right trigger all the time.
 
For me, it's the DPad. The Circle pad is fine but the DPad has my thumb in an awkward position. I can see what you mean about the triggers.
 
Nintendo of America has announced that you can now place your pre-orders for the Circle Pad Pro. The Circle Pad Pro is a GameStop exclusive in the United States but you can also pre-order it direct from Nintendo. The Circle Pad Pro launches February 7th in North America to coincide with the release of Resident Evil: Revelations.
