True story: Capcom dropped the price of Revelations by $10, from 50 to 40, right after we recorded this. So know that!

Circle Pad Pro sounds like a crappy 3rd party accessory.

ahaha, when Brad first closed the 3DS, I tought the couch's arm rest was his leg and he had some crazy-ass pants on.

BRAAAD!

Thanks for the update sir!

Dude that's harsh. All ready to get this stupid quest. Ahh well good to know about the price.

AlisterCaton Jan. 28, 2012 at 6:12 a.m.

They definitely sell them as a bundle here in the UK.

why it didn't have double analogs to start with in this day and age... then again Nintendo

algertmanon Jan. 28, 2012 at 6:18 a.m.

You're small-time.

NoelVeigaon Jan. 28, 2012 at 6:23 a.m.

Huh.

I have no beef with the stick add-on and I loved the demo of this game, but...

...I think I prefer not being able to aim and shoot at the same time.

I know, I know, everybody bitched about it for ages, and it works great on other games, but Revelations has less, tougher enemies and is a bit closer to early RE games. Managing distance old school seems fitting.

I'll still get the bundle, though. A bunch of other games support the thing and maybe Raid mode, which is purely action based, will be a better fit for dual stick controls.

This is all cool stuff, though. I don't really get the negativity.

Hulking, black monstrosity.

That sounds racissssst to me, Ryan Davis.

Stubeeon Jan. 28, 2012 at 6:34 a.m.

Christ that thing is big!

The fact it uses the IR sensor also points to how unprepared the 3DS was for something like this.

subtle 3d from capcom with the mutant fish jumping at the camera

I never really had a problem with the original RE4 controls on the Gamecube, so this looks perfectly playable without the monster stick.

I forgot what this video was about, I was just looking at Jill's ass.

Vinny on Deadly Premonition: "One of the best games ever made."

I agree.

with new partners Parker and Jessica.

Weirdest Sex and the City reference ever.

TooWalruson Jan. 28, 2012 at 7 a.m.

I won't buy it! I severely hope Nintendo actually puts a stick on the first hardware update... if not- I'll totally buy it.

But they have to! Right!? Because how could they make a smaller sleeker model be compatible with the circle pad pro... that 2nd stick HAS to be built in!

Morridinon Jan. 28, 2012 at 7 a.m.

Got it yesterday and it really does looks great. Circle pad feels quite heavy in comparison though.

Not too happy about the slide pad, I prefer sticks but still it does give nice extra options.

Dagbikeron Jan. 28, 2012 at 7:04 a.m.

I have no problem playing a full fledged game on my handheld. but resident evil is not a game i want to buy.

Sayishereon Jan. 28, 2012 at 7:05 a.m.

They bundle it in the UK, i do want to buy this game, hesistant on the circle pad pro due to size.

They should have bundled the merceneries game to this instead of seperate releases. I suppose storage limitations can be an issue but yeah.
