Kid Icarus Uprising will come bundled with a special stand, Project Sora head Masahiro Sakurai revealed today at Twitter. Using the stand, you'll be able to keep the system and screen steady.

Sakurai notes that the stand can, of course, be used with all games, and not just Kid Icarus.

Have a first look at the stand here:

Um, okay?

Well, for starters, it will stop the 3DS, a remarkably cramped and uncomfortable system, from cramping my hands and leaving them sore.

except that Kid Icarus is also getting that 2nd Circle Pad Support and the addon is supposed to make the handheld bigger so it feels more like a Traditional Controller......what's the point again?

The second analog stick isn't used for anything except a Left handed Mode (as in, there is no dual analog control scheme in Kid Icarus), so yeah. This will keep the system steady, and not hurt my hands. I hope. I honestly have no f*cking clue what I'm supposed to do with this, but since I'm getting it for free, thanks, I guess?

It's bundled for free, you don't have to pay. Like the Wii Wheel with Mario Kart Wii, I suppose.

The stand will probably not fit the battery pack on my 3ds. Pass, I think.

I am steady enough to keep the 3D effect. I don't need it so if they are selling the bundle separately, I'm not buying it.

It's almost too much innovation for me to handle. Sony is obviously going to copy this.

Does that go against the whole point of the 3DS. You know being a portable system and all.

Makes sense. This game requires you to only hold the 3DS with one hand, which can be tiring. The stylus is used for aiming. This stand will make the "broken ass control scheme (IGN's words)" work better. Not so portable, though, huh?
