Nintendo Announces Kid Icarus: Uprising Will Be Bundled With... A Stand?

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

Looks like the game is gonna flop hard.

Not really. Early impressions have the game controlling awkwardly hence the need for the "stand".

WTF!?

They might as well just straight out admit that's it's blimmin difficult to play that machine with 3D turned on and not lose the 3D effect often.

So, instead of making a better glasses-free 3D screen that actually has a decent viewing angle, where you don't constantly lose the 3D effect, here's the rather crap short-term solution.

Cheers Nintendo.

It is something free that some people might use, why the hell is so many people complaining about something free and optional. And for all the people saying "lol portable lawls" I hope none of you ever turn on your portable system of choice while at home. I end up playing mine more while at home while watching TV or before bed sometimes. Even with the stand it is still a portable because you can move it anywhere that you want, your aren't limited to wherever the TV is. Oh and onemore time, it is FREE and OPTIONAL

Lol, I have nothing with this, finally I will be able to play my 3DS on the table without having the 3DS lay ontop of my fingers.

Not sure why people care that it comes with a stand so much. It's not like it's going to be required to play the game. Nintendo is trying to make something that will make you more conformable when playing the game. HarlockJC

This.

People, calm down please. Its just a stand, you can play both your 3DS and Kid Icarus without the stand if you so feel like it or you can play using the stand. Whatever you find more comfortable.

Eh, well if it free with the game then whatever, it is completely optional.

Nintendo is releasing a few weird peripherals for the 3DS

Well it is Nintendo.....you have to expect retarded moves by this company. No DVD, no HD, Virtual Boy, Robots, power gloves, the Wii, Vitality Sensor......They have a history of stupidity.

That looks utterly useless. Heil68

Holding the 3DS on one hand while using the slide pad+left shoulder button all at once is not viable for long play sessions so the stand will be a necessity for Kid Icarus.

The Power Glove was third party but ofcourse when somebody says that people ignore it because it is one more thing to bash Nintendo on when it isn't even from Nintendo.

Nintendo isn't responsible for the Power Glove.

Mattel is the creator of the Power Glove.

Is the next Pokemon game coming with an attachable remote-sized control panel for the pokedex interface? :lol:

BTW, why couldn't Ocarina of Time come with an extra mute button to make Navi shut the **** up?

3DS was never designed to be held with one hand for long periods of time like the DS. At least people who aren't a fan of hand cramps have something that alleviates the strain. I've been hearing complaints from gaming "journalists" about this particular games controls for a while now. MFDOOM1983

If it was a normal DS title there wouldn't be that problem because they could just rest the DS on their lap and still see the screen.

But with the 3DS you can't do that the system has to be lifted up so it is in the proper viewing angle.

When I get this game I will probably just play it at home so I don't have to carry the stand.

So what's the stand going to be used for besides keepig your fingers steady when playing the game.

super600

the stand is for people playing in 3d. because if u tilt the 3ds the 3d will get distorted, but while using the stand the 3ds will not tilt thus u can enjoy the game which uses touch gameplay in 3d

3DS is the worst Nintendo handheld when it comes to comfort, not saying much though but it's still holds this title. Kid Icarus needs this stand, at least for me. I have medium sized hands for the record.

Kid Icarus: Uprising has an uncomfortable control scheme, thus the stand to make it easier to play it. lol @ people saying it's because its so you don't lose the 3D effect. Smh.Haziqonfire

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"] I guess that's one way blame others for 3ds's poor ergonomics.

Pricing: Bought the original price, worth it since I have 20 free games

Analogue: Seriously? A second one isn't NEEDED. A gyroscope or touch screen can EASILY replace it

Software: 3 AAA games 8 AA games 15 A games

Nothing to do with fanboyism :lol: its not even an insult. If I see a mistake, I mention it. For example, the 3DS launch line-up was lackluster with the exception of a game or two, but now its irrelevant. According to your logic, you're an attention-seeking troll. Sucks to be a troll and bash everything a company does. But I guess providing valid arguments in Nintendo's defense is "fanboyism", right? ;)

I didn't need to do that in 3D Land or OoT, but I have to turn it off in MK7 because turning the slide pad fast like I do in MK7 moves the system itself and it gets annoying when I play competetively.

However I can speedrun and whatnot in 3D Land without any issues with the 3D. I actually use the 3D all the time because it helps me judge where I am better.

I still need 3D Land and MK7 but I will probably only turn the 3D off in MK7.

It uses the stylus AND the analog for control. A stand is better than holding the 3DS with one hand.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Unfortunately for you nintendo has been addressing most of the things I've criticized them about regarding 3DS. pricing 2nd analog stick software I'm sure battery life and hardware build quality will be addressed once the revision comes along. Now all nintendo needs to do is invest in their online infrastructure and make a account based system. Sucks to be a fanboy and praise everything a company does. But I guess only a fanboy would call valid complaints bashing. lightleggy

nintendo needs to stop focusing on kid and casuals s the people who grew up playing NES when it was still alive ARENT KIDS ANYMORE are you listening nintendo?|

Again, all this shows is the very apparrent 3DS design flaws. At least Nintendo is trying to make these games playable in a fashion, but man they really need to come up with a re-designed 3DS, and soon.

No it won't. A good amount DS games and probably 3DS games will still use Dpad/analog/buttons mainly,with maybe some secondary touch control. SuperMario 3D land still used the analog nub and buttons.

Makes sense. It's pretty hard to hold the thing up while using the analog plus touch screen scheme. It's not so much a design flaw as an inevitability when utilizing a stylus-based touch screen.

You could argue that this is evidence for a second analog stick. Problem is the second stick would essentially replace the stylus, something which Nintendo isn't willing to do. It would take away the signature touch controls and make the thing just another console controller.
