Kid Icarus: Uprising bundled with 3DS accessory
I have been wondering why Kid Icarus: Uprising was delayed in coming out for the 3DS. It's a title I am extremely interested in and felt hurt the systems launch by being delayed. Now we may have discovered the culprit, or at least we found another lame excuse...
Yup, this piece of shit stand is being bundled with Kid Icarus: Uprising. According to designer Masahiro Sakurai's twitter, the stand was developed to help keep the 3DS steady when using the touch-screen. Apparently, my hands are not strong enough to bear the weight of the mighty 3DS. Throw on the Circle Pad Pro, then put the 3DS in this stand, and the "portable" part of the handheld is completely gone. I swear Nintendo is trying to fill my life with useless plastic peripherals. The Wii Balance Board says hello.

This has got to be the stupidest peripheral I've ever seen, for any system.

the stand is odd but the 3ds desperately needs that second circle pad badly

Its times like this, i wonder why nintendo choose not to include a second analog stick in the original 3ds desighn(instead of an add on). If you could aim with a second analoge stick, then you could place your right hand behind the system, to give the system more stability. Wich would make this add on complety unnessary(although you could just put the system against something else anyway).

But will it be compatible with the 3DS steering wheel?

One word... Speedboard. A.K.A. The most useless piece of plastic since 1991. http://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/Speedboard

What? The Wii Balance Board is only plastic!??!?! fuck that sucks! Anyway, that peripherial sucks balls!...too. We've been using touch screens for 6 years now I mean... *sigh* how the heck can it be hard to use a touch screen, and in any case in some point we're going to lift that shit because we're gonna be holding it.

I don't mind the whole issue of it being a peripheral (after all,it's NOT required) but will it in anyway affect the pricing of the Kid Icarus?

Hello Balance Board. Hows the Vegas Dumb

Are many of you ignoring the fact that apparently this is being BUNDLED? So not only did this useless peripheral delay the game, but it's probably going to raise the price of it. Even if they don't raise the price for some reason, it's still a waste to delay a game just so you can bundle it with a peripheral. This thing's just a piece of plastic, sell the p.o.s. on it's own.
