Post by: Webmalfunction on January 12, 2012, 04:48:48 PM

The new peripheral allows 3DS owners to keep their system steady while playing.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is shipping with a special 3DS stand when it releases in Japan this March, according to Project Sora head Masahiro Sakurai.

The stand was revealed on the developer's Twitter as a way to keep the system still while playing Kid Icarus. He further explained that the stand is compatible with all other 3DS games, and suggests that it proves especially useful when playing games heavily reliant on the touch screen.

The 3DS stand is the second peripheral confirmed to be usable with Kid Icarus, as Sakurai also revealed that the game will use the Circle Pad Pro for left-handed functionality.

As of right now, the peripheral is only confirmed to be bundled with Japanese copies of the game, although announcements for other territories may soon follow.

Update: Nintendo confirmed that the stand will ship with the game in all regions.

Can both the stand and CPP be used together at the same time?

Don't know. One of Sakurai's other Twitter pictures does show off a bonus mode, though:  http://twitpic.com/7u14k6

It better still fit 3DSes with plus-sized battery packs or I'm gonna be pissed.

Does this charge the 3DS too? It seems like it could be a viable and awesome replacement dock. I'm sure they probably weren't that cool about it though.

Is that the same cat in Smash Bros Brawl, found in the Pokemon Stadium 2 stage?

This is actually something that I might find useful. It's always awkward to hold the system with one hand, so this could make several stylus-heavy games easier to play.
