Do you like using the directional pad, which has been on all Game Boy systems, or the Circle Pad, which was released on the 3DS?

Personally, I use the Directional Pad, but I will occasionally use the Circle Pad. I think I will primarily be using the Circle Pad in X and Y, though!

I'm use to the directional pad only because I've never had a 3DS.

Pretty much the same with me.

I use mainly the circle pad. The only time I use the D-Pad is when it's for camera angles or when I'm playing The World Ends With You. Also, shouldn't this be in the Media Hall? xD

^^^ Probably.

Circle pad, practically always. xD I barely ever use the directional pad. The joystick is too much fun. C:

Circle-pad for me, definitely. I'd stayed off handhelds for so long that I got used to console joysticks. The d-pad just feels really uncomfortable on a normal 3DS but on an XL, it's p manageable. I always try to use the d-pad if I can though, I've heard horror stories of the circle-pad busting from overuse. :C

I like using the directional pad because I've always used it. I only use the circle pad solely for Mario Kart 7 because it's the only one that works. The directional pad is for viewing your driver in the first person as you steer it. I always play Pokémon on a Nintendo DS unless it's going to be Pokémon X and Y, and I heard in Wal Mart that it'll be out when the calendar reaches October 12.
