Nintendo’s Kid Icarus revival will make use of not only the Circle Pad Pro, but also an optional system stand that comes with the game, at least in Japan.
Project Sora head and Uprising director Masahiro Sakurai revealed the accessory’s existence on Twitter. With it, you can dock the system so it doesn’t have to be supported entirely with one hand, as is necessary because of the constant use of the stylus for aiming and manipulating the camera. If it helps to make the game more comfortable to play, that’s somewhat commendable, even if it is a very weird concept for a game on a handheld system. And if it doubles as a stand for watching Netflix (it’s just a piece of plastic, after all, it should work with anything on 3DS), all the better.
