Nintendo Okie

Japanese gamers worried about getting sore wrists from playing hours upon hours of Kid Icarus: Uprising need fear any longer. Project Lead Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed that the game will be coming bundled with a stand that will allow you to rest the 3DS on a table, or perhaps your lap while playing. It hasn’t been confirmed yet that this device will be coming to North America, just yet. However, I’m actually pretty interested in this little piece of plastic.

I don’t know that I’m really interested in playing the game while it’s resting on this little dock. I’ve spent numerous hours playing Call of Duty on the DS, which has a very similar control method and I found that I never really had any issues with hand cramping or fatigue. I don’t expect this game to be any different. I do, on the other hand, watch a lot of Netflix on my 3DS. It comes in handy writing content for the site late in the evening sitting at my table away from my TV. I would like to have this to get the system up off the table a little bit more so I would buy it just for that purpose. It might also be a good conversation starter. You never know when people will come to your house and ask about random video game peripherals.
