Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
I'll probably download it this weekend, just to feel like part of the zeitgeist for a brief moment.

@carlosrox You can hold off man, be patient! It'll be glorious!

Personally I think if Carlos wants to get in on the action, there will be no better time to play Smash on 3DS than at launch. That's when the most people will be feverish about it.

Then again, I'm speaking as a person who knows that because of the up-res in graphics, different stages and modes, that the Wii U version will feel quite novel still when it releases. We don't know so much about it still. I'm not afraid that the 3DS version will take anything away from me. It's just going to bring me joy.

I just want to be really fresh on Smash when the Wii U version hits. The 3DS demo was a nice appetizer but that's probably enough for me. When i hear all the new music, see all the new characters, etc, I'd prefer to have that experience on Wii U.

If I hear that the online is awesome on 3DS, I might bite. I think I've read that it's ok. It sounds good if you have a good connection, minus some occasional buffering hiccups. I hope those get ironed out though. Maybe the net code on the 3DS version isn't as good as the Wii U version (hopefully).

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the netcode for this game gets improved with futures updates or new firmware installs. And obviously, it'll be better with the NEW 3DS.

We are almost at launch! This game is a matter of HOURS away now.

HYPE AT MAXIMUM POWER.

Hey guys, if you want to save time, the patch will be live on the eShop at noon eastern today. Download it early! This patch is required to play online.

@ludist210

Oh weird that you can even download that early. Good lookin' out.

@ludist210

Splendid, thanks for the heads-up.

This is my first full-retail digital download for the 3DS. How long do these typically take? I'm hoping it won't fuss up my night, because I'm having a buddy over and we want to get this party started.
10/02/14, 17:59   
Probably not as long as the Wii u games at midnight. For Mario Kart, I started at midnight and wasn't playing until after 1.

@TriforceBun

Start it early (11:00 p.m. your time) and you should have it in a half hour or so.

@DrFinkelstein even when the Wii U version comes out I still expect the 3DS game to get some love from me.
10/02/14, 20:25   
Got the update. It was around 350 blocks and downloaded in less than three minutes. So my body is Reggie...or something.
10/02/14, 21:35   
@ludist210

Nice! I went ahead and downloaded the update as well. All set for tonight! HYPE AGAIN!

@pokepal148

Same here. I'm just saying, as with most games, the general fever (particularly around here) will be towards the front end.

I actually enjoy single player quite a bit in Smash games so I'm never really concerned when the fever is or isn't happening.

I have my friend from Georgia visiting me this weekend.

I was going to go ahead and get the download but he said he would get me the game! :0

@Paleo_Orca

Great friend you've got there!

edit: Not really the place for me to be on a soapbox about this game. Hope you all enjoy it! I'm jealous.
