3DS Expansion Slide Pad To Migrate West?
Last month, Nintendo announced the 3DS’s funky second analog expander – called the 3DS Expansion Slide Pad – would release in Japan in December. Looks like it’s also coming to the States.
No specific U.S. release has been given for the device – and Nintendo hasn't made any official announcements – but last week at New York Comic Con, according to Nintendo World Report Capcom's Ryan McDougall said that the circle Pad would be compatible with Capcom's Resident Evil: Revelations, which comes out on February 7.
According to Siliconera, the accessory will be called the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro when it releases in American territories, since Nintendo recently filed for a trademark under that name in Japan.
