Not to overwhelm you with Kid Icarus: Uprising -related control scheme news or anything, but we thought this was pretty interesting — the game will come bundled with what appears to be an official peripheral called the "Nintendo 3DS Stand". Producer Masahiro Sakurai made the announcement on Twitter, saying that the stand is designed to let you set the system down and easily control the game with the stylus, and we can actually see that being a pretty comfortable position.
As we mentioned yesterday, Kid Icarus: Uprising has you moving your character with an analog stick and aiming fire with the stylus, meaning that you have to support the entire weight of the 3DS in a single hand. We don't have any more information than this at the moment, but we'll let you know when we do, including if it'll be coming to regions outside Japan.

The new peripheral allows 3DS owners to keep their system steady while playing. I think you mean this one. It better still fit 3DSes with plus-sized battery packs or I'm gonna be pissed.

All Rights Reserved. Kid Icarus should've never made a comeback in the first place. The only thing that game had going for it is the Eggplant Wizard.
I've heard some pretty negative things about the controls in the game.. Man, Nintendo loves their single use peripherals.
I mean, sure, you can use the racing wheel or zapper or this thing with other stuff, but Good to see they learnt from Sega's MegaDrive add-on missteps that having a lot of peripherals is a good idea. Theres a lot of people that play their handhelds exclusively at home so I don't think it's such an OUT there idea even if it is defeating the purpose.
It shouldn't be a fix, but it's not a totally terrible thing to have. Doesn't seem like it'd actually be that comfortable though Atramentous said:.
The 3ds is turning into the Virtual Boy?!? Nintendo is so stubborn that they eventually force their crappy ideas on you. Apparently they questioned Sakurai about it and he believes so strongly about the touch aim, he flat out turned down the option to have the Circle Pad Pro be used for dual analogue control.
Its unfortunate, but hey sometimes a person with a vision just needs to be given enough rope. I typically like Sakurai games so it is a disappointment to see this unusual solution. It looks like they need it for stylus controls. If one hand is dedicated to a stylus and the other is needed for quick movement on the circle pad, it could be a pain to hold in one and try to control as such.
But then again, if this was going to be a problem, they should have designed around it and found a better control system. Moon and Dimentium come to mind most immediately, but also Metroid Prime: Hunters. I'll say I haven't had any time with Kid Icarus, so I can't say, but it looks like it plays with that control set up, while playing a sort of Sin and Punishment style of game.
I'm curious what I'm missing in the whole setup. I'm sure it will be fantastic for games that use the accelerometer and gyroscope, and for anyone that loves sitting at the table to play their hand-held games. Looks like I'm selling my 3Ds for a Psv. At least that way I can hold the damn thing, and not go cross eyed. Alex It doesn't bother me at all but in England at least the word 'spastic' 2nd paragraph is seen by some as offensive.
