In a press release detailing Nintendo's early 2012 software lineup, it was revealed that the Circle Pad Pro will be sold exclusively through GameStop.
Releasing on February 7, the Circle Pad Pro will available at both GameStop's locations and its website. It is releasing alongside Resident Evil Revelations, one of the games utilizing the device. Currently it is listed at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
20 Bucks GS Exclusive. Um... No Thank You.
Interest in this peripheral down to near Zero.
NoA F-You Points increased by 10.
Well THAT'S fucking lame! The nearest gamestop to me is 30 miles away!

You could just order it online and have GS ship it to you in the mail. Just saying.
Really, I think this is an indication that Nintendo doesn't intend for it to be widely used, and lends more credence to the idea that they just slapped it together because Capcom wanted it for Monster Hunter
So it's twice the anticipated price AND it can only be purchased at GameStop? Way to go Nintendo. Morons.
So how many F-You points has NoA earned in 2011!?
well, let me count them for you....

Correct. This is all the proof you need that a second slide pad wont be included whenever they end up releasing a revision.As I said earlier, it's cheaper for Nintendo to include it in a revision. Otherwise, they would need to make a Circle Pad Pro Plus (or whatever it'd be called) for the revision. I doubt Nintendo is going to go out of their way and spend more money just to show people that it's only for select games. It makes more sense for Nintendo to add probably less than $1 to manufacturing costs to build it into the unit and have a lonely, unused right slide pad for most games. Done and done. And if a 3rd party was able to force Nintendo to release the peripheral, I'm sure they could convince them to have it built in future revisions.
