3DS XL Circle Pad Pro pre-orders open in North America

3DS XL Circle Pad Pro pre-orders open in North America

The Nintendo 3DS's Circle Pad Pro was a curious accessory, a clunky thing adding a second analogue nub and two extra shoulder buttons to make the handheld less rubbish for console-y action games. It's mostly forgotten, only supported by a few games and incompatible with the updated 3DS XL. But hey, if you do own the big 3DS and want in on the analogue fun, Nintendo is finally releasing the XL version in North America this week.

Resident Evil: Revelations revamp adds Infernal difficulty

Along with higher resolutions and graphical whizz-bangs and whatnot, PC and home console port of Resident Evil: Revelations also includes a new higher difficulty mode. A new trailer from Capcom shows off 'Infernal' mode, which switches enemies and items around so it'll still be surprising if you've mastered lesser adversities.

'Too many' Resident Evil games in recent years, says producer

'Too many' Resident Evil games in recent years, says producer

Like zombies in a shopping mall, Resident Evil has been crowding the market in the last couple of years. Resident Evil 6 marked the fourth release in only two years, after ORC, Revelations, and Mercenaries 3D. Capcom seems to recognize that perhaps flooding the market isn't the best of ideas, at least if recent comments from Revelations producer Masachika Kawata are any indication.

Resident Evil: Revelations getting console release, leaked achievements reveal

Yet another Resident Evil game is set to hit the HD consoles, a new list of leaked achievements reveal. According to X3A.org, Resident Evil: Revelations is coming to Xbox 360.

Revelations originally released on 3DS last year, promising to combine the behind-the-shoulder gameplay of modern Resident Evil games with the more methodical pacing of classic entries in the franchise. Capcom's experiment was largely successful, with our own review pointing out that "when it sticks to horror, few survival horror games feel better than Resident Evil Revelations," even if the game is "inconsistent."

Resident Evil needs to continue down action path, says Capcom producer

Resident Evil needs to continue down action path, says Capcom producer

The Resident Evil series has strayed a bit from its survival horror roots, heading in a more action-oriented direction. Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata believes the main series needs to keep moving in that direction to appeal to a western audience, but claims side-stories like his recent game can provide more of the classic, creepy atmospheric gameplay.

Resident Evil: Revelations review

Resident Evil: Revelations review

Resident Evil games work best when focused on frightful environments filled with infected creatures. It’s the very definition of the survival horror genre Capcom helped write. Spin-off entries, like a rail shooter or straight-up action game, go astray from that core principle, much to fans' dismay. Resident Evil: Revelations, Capcom's first installment for the series on the 3DS, stays true to the series' essence for the most part, albeit inconsistently.

Resident Evil: Revelations drops back down to $40

Resident Evil: Revelations drops back down to $40

Resident Evil: Revelations is one of the prettiest "console-like" experiences on the 3DS. But does it warrant a "console-like" price tag? Capcom thought so, having originally priced the game at $50. Their explanation? "To handle all of that data Resident Evil Revelations requires a 4GB cartridge, resulting in a higher price point."

Fans didn't take too kindly to that announcement, pointing out that the price difference between a 2GB memory stick and 4GB memory stick is negligible. "I have no idea why Capcom has any fans left," Shacker peepooppooppee commented. "They're probably the most hostile and least consumer-friendly company."
