Nintendo patent shows slight redesign of 3DS Circle Pad

If you have a thumb that constantly slips off the 3DS Circle Pad, it seems that Nintendo might have a solution for you. As you can see in the image above, Nintendo has filed a patent for a Circle Pad that is a bit closer to the GameCube's analog stick. Add in a few ridges for grip and things should become a lot less slippery. No word on whether Nintendo will actually make this change to the 3DS Circle Pad or not.
