circlepadpro

Like Xenoblade Chronicles before it, it looks as though Nintendo’s optional 3DS accessory Circle Pad Pro will launch in the US as a GameStop exclusive. Launching in the country on February 7, the peripheral will run you $19.99 and works as an additional shoulder button attachment for games such as Resident Evil Revelations and METAL GEAR SOLID 3D Snake Eater.  Mentioned as part of the Nintendo Release Schedule posted earlier this morning, we contacted GameStop to see if it would be exclusive, and our local shop said “yes”, but we’ve yet to hear back from Nintendo on the matter.
