Kid Icarus Uprising will be bundled with a new Nintendo peripheral in Japan.

The 3DS stand, which can of course be used with any game, will come in handy as you target enemies with the stylus while controlling Pit with the Circle Pad, which means you won't be able to hold your 3DS with both hands when playing on land, our friends at ONM point out.

Kid Icarus Uprising director Masahiro Sakurai revealed the stand via Twitter today, Andriasang reports.

Set to hit the UK in March, Uprising is also compatible with the Circle Pad Pro attachment. Check out this Nintendo Gamer Kid Icarus Uprising preview for more on the game.

    The key question is: Is the stand compatible with the Circle Pad Pro attachment?
    Oh and another question is: How big will the 3DS actually be when they've finished designing it? Not exactly sounding very portable if using a stand is suggested for play...

    Erm, I'm sorry but I didn't need this when I was playing Dragon Sword. How exactly would the stand help. Maybe to prevent you dropping it but other than that it seems like more old tat. And not quality tat either.

    they are just applying the same formula as the wii. Push out as many peripherals for the console as possible.

    and people keep buying .

    At least they are free peripherals though, albeit bundled with a game.

    It would be nice though if they stayed within the parameters of the machines limitations instead of having to keep sticking bits on.

    like i said on ONM, what happened when we played Metroid Prime Hunters? held that the same way. folk are just being too pampered, try old skool playing with the original NES pads corners cutting your hands apart 16 hours a day. Toughen up sissies, this is gaming not daycare

    Nintendo's handhelds will always sell well, that's been the case since the original Game Boy. The 3DS got off to a bad start due to the hefty asking price, plus games costing up to £40 each is a mass rip-off, after the price drop, sales shot up. There's room for Sony, the PSP has done well, it's sold around 70 million units, so the PS Vita could follow in its footsteps. But at the price it's at, it's going to fail, so I'm convinced a price drop is on the horizon for the US and Europe.
