Topic: Slide Pad or Circle Pad Pro?

Which is it? I keep hearing both and I'm confused. What's the 'official' name of this product?

Oh, and read this review:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/02/nintendo-slide-pad-for-3ds...

Direct quote from article: "The peripheral itself looks like a large slab of plastic and man, is this sucker huge. Let's just say we like your chances of giving some unlucky mugger a concussion with this thing."

LOL!

I also want to publicly say how ugly this thing is. Barf! I won't be buying one.

I will at some point.

Oh, and what if Nintendo never made this? Call of Duty would be a living (can I put that word here?) without it. Be grateful. And in 2013, what if there was no fix? Be grateful, you complain, Nintendo does the best they can (building it in wouldn't work, think about size, and layout/surface area), and you complain again.

I'm not complaining. My point (and I do have one) is that this thing is a huge failure and a half. I am allowed to have my own opinion and after reading similar negative articles, my point is proven even further. You can only use this device for particular games, a few at the very most, and you can't change games without undocking and sometimes the IR Sensors aren't aligned correctly, not to mention this thing is barf ugly. They really should have done better.

OK. I just read the western equivalent is the Circle Pad Pro, the Japanese equivalent is Slide Pad.

It's Circle Pad Pro.
