Good news everyone, Kids Icarus'll be bundled with a stand ... yes.

Kid Icarus Uprising will come bundled with a special stand, Project Sora head Masahiro Sakurai revealed today at Twitter. Using the stand, you'll be able to keep the system and screen steady.

Sakurai notes that the stand can, of course, be used with all games, and not just Kid Icarus.

The Japanese site has been update with the new information and the price has been added as well. Also you can set the character movement to the A,B,X,Y buttons if you want to so you don't have to buy a Circle Pad Pro.

Don't want it, don't understand why its offered, and i don't think the average person will ever use it.

Is it also used for charging?

It's free. Just throw it out if you don't want it.

Well, that's really not enticing at all...

Will the game support the slider peripheral, and will said peripheral work with the stand?

Any gift is a gift... not sure why people are complainig... if you do not want it sell it on ebay and get some money back...

when I played the demo, the only thing that enoyed me was holding the DS with the same hand I was using the circle pad for.... cause you don't really have a grip.

This stand is actually a great idea... but could be replaced by any household cushion or book....

As long it also helps with making the controls for Mario Kart 7 seem more comfortable, I'll be fine with it.
