Nintendo's favorite fighter franchise makes its first foray into the handheld world. Here is the place to post your impressions and discuss your favorite modes, characters, strategies and anything else related to Sakurai's baby.
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.
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.
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.
