Kid Icarus: Uprising is out today on Nintendo 3DS, and it looks fantastic. But the black plastic stand that accompanies the game has reminded us of some other uninspiring game accessories that have emerged over the years



We know that creating a successful gaming add-on is no easy feat, and to prove that point we've rummaged through the bargain basement of yesteryear to cringe at those attachments that added nothing more than a nuisance and another heap of plastic we had to find a place in our bedroom for.


 

1. Kid Icarus: Uprising 3DS stand

Whilst the game is of undoubted quality, it's a shame the same can't be said for what comes with it. The Kid Icarus stand is supposed to make Nintendo 3DS circle pad easier to use with the stylus, but the styling is uninspiring and it's hard to get excited about a big black lump of plastic even if it does do what it says on the box.
