Mm, that's a good thing that I didn't think of.


Hopefully for the next Nintendo handheld, Nintendo will care to have input parity for people of different handedness.

I don't recall Kid Icarus ever being considered a launch game. Didn't they say it wouldn't be a launch game when they announced it?

So it could potentially be used so left-handed people can use the stylus in their left hand while using the circle pad in their right, yet it has no opening to actually remove the stylus from the system.  Either it's still in the prototype phase or that's a considerable design flaw. 

I hope this paves the way for Virtual Boy Virtual Console.

Everything about it is clunky, but I assume the obstruction is partly due to needing the IR port for communication (hard to tell for sure until we get better pictures) and to provide enough support by the rubber pads to hold the 3DS in.

Good heavens.

I would actually LOVE IT if this game supported a second stick!!!  that's the one thing keeping me from being 100% psyched about it.

HOWEVER, I ain't buying a 3DS and/or KI:Uprising unless the 2nd stick is part of the system.  no flappin' add-ons for this little black duck!

Being a proper-handed person ( :P: ) I had no trouble with the Kid Icarus demo at CeBit. It felt like a regular third person shooter to me.


But we'll see how it stacks up as a third person shooter against, say, Space Marine.

I'm right handed and I didn't like the controls, but I'm not sure if a second slide pad fixes those issues, unless the turning speed and feel is drastically improved.

I can certainly see controls being much easier with a second circle pad, but it's SO ugly and doesn't even fit symettrically. If this isn't a prototype, I'm running miyamoto over.
