Kid Icarus Uprising is a game I was looking forward to. While it was in development, I read every scrap of info dribbled to the press. I watched the silly promo cartoons downloadable on the 3DS. It is a game that I pre-ordered and awaited the delivery of with impatience. It is a game, I'm frustrated to admit, that I tried and failed to play. You see, I just so happen to be left-handed.

Hot on the heels of winning a $10 bet about the freshly-announced 3DS XL not having a second analog stick, I am left wondering: how could so many people have had such unrealistic expectations about what this revision would be? The "we know what's best for Nintendo" crowd has been fervent in their prognostications since the Circle Pad Pro was announced months and months ago. Obviously it was just a stop-gap release, a way to appease suckers who bought the original 3DS, and who would be vexed when the inevitable system redesign came with that second circle pad built in.
