Online UK retailer Zavvi has earned exclusive rights to sell the bundle of Resident Evil Revelations and the Circle Pad Pro for Nintendo 3DS.
This was announced last month on the Zavvi blog page. The bundle is available to pre-order now for just £29.95.
Anticipation is rising for Capcom’s latest Resident Evil adventure. The Nintendo 3DS-exclusive Revelations recently scored 91% in the latest issue of Gamesmaster magazine, and today we are proud to announce that an exclusive bundle is now available for pre-order here. The set includes a copy of the game along with the brand new (and official) Circle Pad Pro peripheral.This bundle is a zavvi exclusive, and won’t be available anywhere else in the UK.
The Circle Pad Pro is a new accessory for Nintendo 3DS, designed to increase the way the player enjoys Nintendo 3DS software. It consists of a shell that the Nintendo 3DS slots into with an additional Circle Pad on the right-hand side (termed “Right Circle Pad” or “Circle Pad (R)”) and three shoulder buttons; these are R Button and the new ZR and ZL Buttons.
The player uses his Circle Pad Pro by slotting his Nintendo 3DS console into the accessory; the console will then recognise the accessory via infrared transceiver.
The new accessory allows some Nintendo 3DS software titles to be played more efficiently and comfortably by the use of the new Right Circle Pad (for example, games that are “twin-stick shooters”), as well as offering new features via the new shoulder buttons (depending on software).
Resident Evil Revelations will be released in the UK and the rest of Europe on Friday, 27th January, 2012.
