Kid Icarus: Uprising's 3DS stand holds up to scrutiny

To help players operate Kid Icarus: Uprising with its unconventional (and uncomfortable) circle-pad, L button, and stylus-based control scheme, Nintendo has packed a 3DS stand with every copy of the game. That way, you don't have to awkwardly support the whole weight of the system with your left hand while aiming with your right.

The motivation may be unfortunate, but the accessory itself is quite nice, securely holding the 3DS in place when in use — with rubber pads to keep the system from sliding around — and folding flat when not. See for yourself in our gallery. Kid Icarus: Uprising (and this stand) arrive in North America this Friday.%Gallery-151019%
