12. Kid Icarus: Uprising Stand
Nintendo
Platform: Nintendo 3DS
Worst Feature: Requiring the stand in the first place, rather than just giving the game good controls. Kid Icarus: Uprising wasn't a bad game, but it had controls that could be extremely uncomfortable after a while. To counter this, Nintendo bundled this plastic stand with every copy of the game, so the 3DS could be rested on a flat surface. It just about did the job, but it's not as good a solution as, y'know, making sure the game has decent controls in the first place.
11. Dream Machine
Robert James-Herbert
Platform: 'Any'
Worst Feature: Makes you look like Doc Brown, minus the charming charisma. This insane full body controller is apparently the world's first "physiointeractive computer game control simulation system". We're still not entirely sure how it works, but it might just be the most impractical gaming peripheral that money can buy. Which, in this case, is $1,700.
10. The Fragmaster
Thrustmaster
Platform: PC
Worst Feature: Its blend of joystick and controller just didn't work. Joysticks are great for some games. As far as we're concerned, a flight simulator ain't a flight simulator without one. However, we can't fathom why anyone would ever want one for controlling a first-person shooter. Unfortunately, Thrustmaster thought differently, with 1998's worst PC gaming device, the Fragmaster.
