This new D-Pad cover looks cool, I'm sure Capcom will make it great too, since they DO make the best 2D fighters, and they ARE making this specifically for their new game coming soon, Street Fighter Zero 3. A traditional situation of "game devs, meet engineers", usually resulting in a flawless product. Only problem is, apparently this D-Pad cover will be limited edition, and will be gone when supply runs out. Meh.
"Enter Capcom. With an upcoming PSP conversion of Street Fighter Zero 3, considered one of the most refined 2D fighters around, Capcom had to be wondering how best to deal with the stiff d-pad ad its disposal. And the answer comes in the form of a pre-order bonus D-pad cover...Capcom Japan will be handing out this so-called "Official Support Pad" to purchasers of Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper (Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max in the US) when the game sees Japanese release on 1/19. Double Upper producer Neo_G reveals that the accessory has been well accepted in Capcom's test labs."
