I'll keep this in mind. I own the North American demo, but it's not like I vigorously smash the circle pad or is it just wearing out the pad that breaks it.

So far I'm enjoying the NA demo. Controls work fine on 3ds but I can't wait to turn off the jump mechanic when tilting the circle pad up.

Now my sanity has been restored, thanks to you! I used the 3rd one. Greatly appreciate it!
