Kid Icarus Uprising gets lefty mode with Circle Pad Pro

The camera is controlled with the 3DS touch screen, but there are many times you'll want to move Pit with the circle pad and shoot by tapping the touch screen. With a Circle Pad Pro attached, left handed players will be able to move pit with their right hand and aim with their dominant left hand.

It was assumed that the Circle Pad Pro would mostly be used for camera control in 3DS games. Kid Icarus: Uprising producer Masahiro Sakurai is putting it to a slightly different use, though.

Sakurai didn't know much about the Circle Pad Pro until it was announced with Monster Hunter Tri-G, so it won't be as big a part of the experience as it is on other games, like Resident Evil: Revelations and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. Still, southpaws should be happy to hear they're being considered.
