“Experience this intense survival horror which is only available on your Nintendo 3DS system when Resident Evil: Revelations launches across Europe on 27th January 2012,” says the press release.
The zombie shooter will be available as a stand alone game and as a “limited edition bundle” which will include a copy of the game and the new Circle Pad Pro accessory.
Sounds like Capcom really couldn’t get to grips with finding the sweet spot for 3DS’s input.
“Use specific button combinations for more effective or expert play, or as a traditional ‘twin-stick shooter’,” it says. “You can also make use of the Touch Screen to solve puzzles, switch between weapons more easily and check out the labyrinthine map.”
The Circle Pad Pro will also be available as a standalone accessory across Europe from the same date.
“For more information, please visit markets to insert local URL,” says the PR, helpfully.

Wah! I’ve not got a 3DS but with the games coming out now I thought I might get one for my son’s birthday early next year (Christmas is all sorted). So…
1. Can someone please let me know what the problem is with the lack of a right-hand circle control button?
2. Should I hold off getting him a 3DS until a redesigned model is available?

there isnt really a problem it works fine on anything that isnt a shooter, I played revelations at GAMEfest and using the one pad was very awkward and did not work well at all, same with MGS. Id probably recommend waiting a while to see what happens in regard to a redesign.

If I had a 3DS at this moment in time I’d be trading it in before the redesign comes out and makes it worthless. This addon is hideous.
