Hardware Another look at the Circle Pad Pro

[Just Another Gamer]

I think the only time I might use it is if a call of duty ads comes out. FPS would be much easier this way.

But I think alot of people prefer their FPS on a home console or PC than a portable console cause it might be a bit hard to play on the train or something.

Well they say portable fps will be at its finest with the vita released. I'd like to see how that goes...

I rather not. I'm aware that CoD is announced for the Vita and it will definitely be a seller for the console in the west but it doesn't make it a great game nor something worth looking at unless your into it. Another BRS game for the Vita would be nice.

Or resident evil!

Hmmm...a Vita RE game would be nice but I still prefer another Parasite Eve or BRS much more refreshing than the same old FPS.

I was already iffy on the CPP, and the placement of the pad in relation to the action buttons is what really turns me off. It's so freakishly unnatural to the layout that essentially every other dual-analog controller uses (right analog underneath the action buttons). It would feel so unnatural to me. >.<

Like some others, I'm just desperate that a revision will include a second analog... Until then, No Resident Evil or Metal Gear Solid for me.

Might be comfortable but its an ugly piece of shit.

So did the PS2 fat and Xbox 360.

But you didn't have to carry your PS2 or Xbox 360 with you can claim it was a portable console and the PS2 and Xbox controllers didn't make looking at the screen difficult or off centre.

The CPP isn't designed to be carried around either. Nintendo even said that themselves. This is mainly for the big games that consume a lot of hours and meant to be played at home, like Monster Hunter.

off centre.

oh gosh... that was another annoying thing about it that I forgot...

Of course it doesn't mean that. That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying that if the CPP is meant for "playing at home" and not meant for portability, there's no point in buying the portable version of a game, as far as I'm concerned. Neither Zelda 3D or Star Fox 3D use the CPP, so the problem doesn't apply there. But for someone who wants true dual analog controls for Resident Evil and isn't comfortable with the single stick options (like me), I can't justify buying an accessory that lessens the portability. Granted, it actually wouldn't be that big of a deal for me since I'm a college student and can just keep the CPP in my backpack, but I still find it a nuisance. I'm just saying my opinion, not that it's the "right" way.

Soldier, How does this have to do with the Vita at all? The thread is about the CPP and what members of the temp think about it, not whether the 3DS or Vita is more portable. I agree with you, the Vita is a bit too big to be carried around in a pocket for my taste (though quite a few Vita owners say it fits in their pockets just fine). But like you said, that's an opinion. The same as your view on the CPP is just that: An opinion. No need to make it sound like we're personally attacking your, or the CPP. The OP asked for our opinions, and I gave mine.

It doesn't, I just figured, if he's going to complain about the size with the CPP (not CCP like he's been calling it), then take a look at the Vita. Both are large and both, really aren't that portable. I'm not starting shit, I'm just saying look at the other things for comparison. Wasn't supposed to be taken as an argument what I said about the Vita, I just used it as a comparison's sake, that's all, nothing more. Anyways, I'm done. Tonight's not my night to be on the temp, seems I can't word myself properly or people are just totally blowing it out of proportion. Have fun.

Ah. Well, no worries. Btw, you could have summed up your last post with this image.

The vita compared to the circle pad is much smaller so of course people are gonna complain. geez its an ugly big and inconvenient piece of shit and even the vita looks small compared to it so i don't understand why someone who compare the vita to the circle pad when its clear that the vita is smaller, more portable and doesn't look like some idiot ruined your 3ds with that piece of shit.
