This thread is at the top of Google search results and appears to be full of damaging misinformation so I must bump it with my two-cents.Way back when Nintendo still had replacement stands in stock, I broke my original clamp by trying to put it on backwards. I thought I was trying to put it on correctly, since the manual and every marketing shot showed it installed backwards.
If you look carefully you will see that it is keyed by having one nub slightly larger than the other. This was done deliberately to prevent you from putting it on backwards. It’s extremely unfortunate that all the official product shots and diagrams show it mounted backwards already but when someone searches to determine the correct orientation they will find this thread assuring them that it can go in both orientations. They are very likely to believe they can force it, like I did so many years ago. My mistake would be much more costly today, so please be careful!
The correct and only way it will mount is with the medallion logo and elbows of the legs facing away from the user (open side of legs facing the user). Do not force it on!
Totally wrong.
The Nintendo medallion should be facing you.Are you basing this on what you see in the manual and in official Nintendo pictures, because that is what I am saying is backwards. It simply will not fit the other way around and I know from experience that it will break if you try to force it. While it’s very odd that even the instructions are backwards, that’s exactly why it is important to set the record straight.
I don’t have a single clue what you’re talking about.
I went ahead and uploaded a crappy webcam video for you, and anyone else having this issue. It’s an issue I’ve never heard of.
