I haven't even used it yet. I said I know people who have no issues with it.

OMG, the Circle Pad Pro feels GROSS!

I would, but it would just be way off topic to the thread, plus I don't have a ruler for scale.
Just trust me.

Uh, the circle pad was laughed into the stone age, not sure if you were around, but "NUBAGEDDON" was the word of the day, and Eurogamer despite praising the add-on's functionality, still states in concept, it's the worst thing to EVER happen in the industry.
Nintendo is exempt from nothing.

Not trying to do the hyperbole thing but yeah, I was one of those guys who listened/read a few too many favorable impressions and felt I couldn't go wrong ....and I got burned
Man, it's one of the most inelegant add ons ever conceived but some of this hyperbole is ridiculous. Dealing with a dumb control attachment is way better than a dumb console attachment (32X anyone?), nevermind serious things like companies exiting the industry or shutting down.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
This really isn't the fault of the the circle pad, and instead the game.

Right, but no.
There's lots of unfavorable impressions everywhere, and everyone hates the device, and there's still lots of negative stigma about it. I'm just wondering why you felt the need to make an entire thread to beat a dead horse, instead of just posting in the Revelaitons thread, for example. We already all know this device is not for everyone. I personally did not get one, because I think Revelaitons plays fine without it, but I will be purchasin it for Metal Gear, cuz the alternative is playing with the horrible Peace Walker/PSP control scheme. And that shit don't fly with me!

the RE demo? i dont recall much of this in the final version, so far at least.
hope otaku has a few plays allowed left, heh
last we saw of the tablet, yeah - im really hoping for some changes though, at the very least analog triggers.
yea, the Wii-U controller uses Circle Pads as well.

The last time we saw the WiiU, it was indeed using slide pads instead of sticks. However, they aren't the same as the 3DS slide pad.
Don't know about all that. I like dual analog.
MGS3DS demo out this week, iirc. It's compatible.
Yes, but they're a little different.
I think the Wii U will have is success to a good extent, but I for one am not really looking forward to what it physically has to offer. The whole controller looks god awful and cumbersome. PS3Vita (IMO) is going to be the better Wii U, and games are going to be the saving grace of the U if anything. I'd rather save my money to see what cards Sony and Microsoft play for the next generation. I regret getting two consoles last gen, and I expect to just stick with PC gaming unless things prove to be looking up in the land of consoles.

is this a popular opinion? i thought it was alright, maybe i'm just thinking in relation to the old tank controls though, heh.
It's not a popular opinion.
Choose Punchline A:
......yet.
or Punchline B:
It's a fact.

I really wish some people would actually read impressions of the controller before they say things like this. And the Wii U has been shown off in playable form at least in 3 different venues within the last 9 months. It's easy to check.
And every single hands-on states how lightweight and comfortable the controller is. Does it look it? No, but again that's not the point. Every article I've read states that it's more comfortable than holding a comparatively heavy 360 wireless controller with batteries inside for long periods of time.
It's very clear from posts like this that some people don't bother doing a single shred of research.

What happened Nintendo?
People keep buying their useless accessory crap. That's what happened.

No, it's complete nonsense.
I'll stay wait until my loaded friend buys one to make my official opinion. Going off of reviewers is a pretty horrible way to judge if something is good as well.

Or...
3rd parties are too lazy to come up with unique control solutions, and instead force Nintendo to come up with same stuff we've been using for 15 years.
The Classic Controller Pro and the Circle Pad all stem from Capcom's Monster Hunter team being too lazy to do any actual work.
Bizarrely, there was some speculation on GAF at the time that a 'shell' version of PSV could be the PS4's controller. You'd get the screen, the touch stuff, but the normal DS3 stuff too. Having not played a PSV, I don't think that's a great idea, but it's an interesting concept. It basically is what the WiiU is after-all.

Yeah, horrible. You're right. What was I thinking? Spending two minutes of my time reading the thoughts of people who have tried something.
I thought the Wired review nailed it:
Nothing like a little damning with faint praise.Wired said:
Regardless, the issue here seems to be the CPP, not RE:R. I just couldn't help myself
Yeah of course it's not just Nintendo wanting to offer more control options, If anything I think the Classic Controller Original/Pro are some of the best control options for the Wii hands down.
I haven't tried the Circle Pad Pro yet and probably won't but I just don't think it's worth 20 dollars especially when it should be bundled in with some of the 3DS games.

Looks like shit. But feels? Feels good, man
Will be trading my ambassador 3DS in for a 3DS with integrated circle pads - DAY ONE

love my CCP because of RE:R
Can't imagine going back to playing without it!

But then how you gonna system transfer!?
I need to get my hands on a CPP to try out with MK7. I cannot effing play that game for more than 2 or 3 races without massive cramps. I strongly suspect the CPP will alleviate this, though it would be nice to test before dropping 20.

also I can play for longer than 15 minutes without my hand cramping up

Nah, it's starting to run on fumes
I'll be back for the Resi 6 launch though!
Its needed for MH. Single analog MH is the opposite of good.

"rotate in place to turn around"... You can do a 180 turn by pressing back and B.
Because that's way more likely than Nintendo releasing another revised Frankenstick lite to strap onto the new thing.

touchscreen + "snap" camera really mitigates the need for a second analog from impressions. MH3G seems to play just fine on a stock 3DS. Tri controlled fine on Wii with the remote/nunchuk setup too, some even prefer it.
The game that REALLY seems to need the 2nd analog is MGS3D.

It's ok, we all have a failed Nintendo peripherals in our collection somewhere. This is your first (hopefully)!
yea, Wii Balance board sold millions. I forget the exact number but it was huge.
