Super Smash Brothers - Nintendo 3DS

I was looking forward to this game a lot but not trying to get my expectations to high seeing as it is the first time for a smash game on the 3ds. Glad to say I was pretty accurate, but it was a little better than I thought. My only gripes are I cannot change the movement from the circle pad to the Dpad which I was really hoping for (if you know of a way to do this that I missed PLEASE let me know). My grips on the pad are worn down so my thumb slides off easily, so this may be a personal thing. My other issue is the lag of online play. My internet is pretty good and I generally have a low ping, with a high download and upload so I dont believe that to be the problem. Also, I had my phone turned off like some people recommend. Regular play felt quite smooth through every session. I had no issues with any setting, amount of players, or items that slowed down my system or felt out of place from my play so far. As for everything else I was very happy. There are a good amount of features and content especially for a 3ds game. Classic, all star, home run, and a few other game modes are back along with a few others. Smash run is a blast and I'm going to be playing a lot of it with my friends and family. I feel Nintendo is great at enhancing older ideas with new flare and this is no exception. Like I said, classic mode is back but you can choose between 3 paths... and you can change the difficulty based on how much gold you would like to spend. Not only that but at the end credit sequence you have a different mini game to complete, and I find this one particularly fun! There is also a new trophy rush game that I find entertaining as well. With all of the great modes you will have to see for yourself! The character roster has grown immensely, though I felt a lot more came unlocked than in previous games. I personally enjoy unlocking them but I was happy to be able to jump in with my favorites right off the bat as well. They have a nifty customization feature that allows you to change your Nintendo fighters stats AND abilities if you desire. The ability changes are alterations of there normal ones with some enhanced effects or small differences in general. A neat idea as you can pit your Mario up against a friends Mario and see who's the better plumber :). In battle items are growing more interesting as time goes by. There are so many new ones I can't possibly name them all (not that i can remember them anyway) but a few that stand out are the addition of the Master Ball which very often holds a legendary Pokemon in it, a 1up flag that either gives you a point in time battle or a stock in stock battle, and the gust bellows(I think) which pushes people around like Mario's water cannon. I am sure i missed a lot of stuff in my review and made a few mistakes, however I highly recommend this game to anyone with a 3ds that loves to smash. Just for reference I have the fire emblem: awakening special edition 3ds. My brother has a 3ds XL and both systems seem to play about the same, except of course he has a bigger screen

I've spent a few hours with this game as of me writing this, and what can I say but man, this is a fun fun game. I wasn't previously a big fan of the Smash Bros series, mainly because I wasn't good at it and because I never had an N64 or Gamecube. Being a big fan of the 3DS though, this is the perfect chance for me to try it out in full finally. The game looks fantastic, and has tons of ways to play. The classic mode is a fun way to kill time while being introduced to the many characters that started it all. The local multiplayer so far with a few friends is flawless, and I've had a couple of online bouts that may or may not have gone well. Graphics The game runs at a very smooth 60 frames per second, even in it's 3D mode. And I normally don't play my games in 3D mode, but with this game the effect is very subtle and comes out looking very crisp. It's very quick action and it doesn't lag once. The cinematic final move scenes are awesome to watch even though they sometimes take a bit of time. I'm using the standard sized 3DS, which at times can be difficult to make out. However, I've tried the demo on the XL version, and it is levels above the tiny screen. Gameplay Being new to Smash Bros, this is a total first time impression on my part. The gameplay grows on you, and fast. When I first started playing the CPU was too much for me to handle. A few battles in, and I started to win more consistently. However, in classic mode you can choose how difficult you want the gameplay with higher difficulty giving better rewards, for all those experienced players out there. That is currently a challenge for me. Some reports stated that analog sticks were being broken due to the nature of the gameplay, but so far I haven't found myself overly abusing it. No more than any other game anyhow. The only hiccup I've had so far was the fact that I'm still finding it difficult to pick up items. I might be too close to them or too far, but many a time I've missed it by just a millisecond after trying super hard to grab it. Also, this might just be me, but using x and y to jump felt a bit odd and took some getting used to. Pros - Smooth graphics running at 60fps - Huge character list, plus the hidden set of characters - Tons upon tons of unlockables, such as trophies and new abilities - Variety in gameplay modes will keep you entertained for a while - Massive amount of items to use and unlock during battle - Some items can be super fun to use (Nintendog) - The ability to customize your characters move set, which is new to the series. Cons - That annoying "GO" image that takes up the entire screen when the match starts. Precious seconds count. - With a smaller screen, you sometimes lose your character in all the action. This happens even more so with 4 characters at once. This might be more of a problem on the smaller 3DS. - A little hard to grab items at times. Overall This is a solid game. And that's coming from someone that came into the whole Smash Bros thing thinking that he was going to hate it. It's easy to overlook the flaws in this because it's really just a fun game no matter what level of game mode you're looking for. From single player, to local multiplayer, to online multiplayer and street pass it's got you covered.

When the New Nintendo 3DS XL launched and I was able to preorder one, the first game I have bought in a heart beat was the Super Smash Brothers - Nintendo 3DS. I have not owned Nintendo's previous iterations of their Smash Brothers in Nintendo Wii, GameCube, or N64, so this is something I was excited about as I've heard so many rave reviews and tournaments help for this type of game. I did however was able to play it for a short while when they had Demo units in stores back in the day. When I got the game in my hands, I immediately played it and was pretty much hooked on it. I was amazed that for a 3DS system, the super smash brothers gaming graphics were quite amazing for such a tiny handheld console. It is like having your own miniature version of the Gamecube version plus added new features and characters of course. I can see that this cult classic will not die any time soon as this is pretty addictive. I was glad that I have purchased this game and keep it into my arsenal. I don't think I will ever get tired of this game especially since this was introduced in 2014 and now being that it is 2025, I am still occasionally whipping out my 3DS to play this game, beside the Nintendo Switch version. This game has brought the kid in me again and I felt so Joyful whenever I get a chance to play my favorite characters and fight against NPCs whether it be against my friends or thru story line mode.

I am truly amazed at what Nintendo was able to accomplish with this game on the 3DS. The game runs very smoothly. It looks like a home console release. The graphics are really impressive given what they had to work with. I got this game today, so I'll be updating when anything new comes up, but otherwise, the main part of the review will be right here. Gameplay: The gameplay is great. There really isn't much else to say. You beat up famous Nintendo characters, and it is some of the best fun you'll have on the 3DS. The characters play at a smooth 60fps, it really amazes me. If you get an Assist Trophy, or throw a Pokeball, the character that comes out of it will only be doing their animations at 30 frames per second. However, you really don't notice all that much, it's not like they are there for very long anyways. I believe you can customize the controls, but they are pretty much perfect as is, aside from one issue. You cannot use the d-pad to move, you can only use the circle pad. I am a d-pad kind of person when it comes to games of the fighting variety, so this is a negative for me. The d-pad is used for taunts instead. Story: There isn't one, much to my disappointment. I really enjoyed the Subspace Emissary of Brawl, at least what I played of it. It would be a HUGE plus if they had a story on this iteration of Smash, but that is sadly not the case. There is a lot of potential, especially with all of these new characters that have been added. This is probably three quarters of a star taken away, if not more. Other Modes: Normal Smash. You just fight. It sounds really boring, but just thinking about it makes me want to get off the computer, pop the cartridge in the slot and play it before finishing the review. There's a multiplayer option, but I'll get into that a bit later. There is Smash run, which is fun but a bit hard. You go around a dungeon thingy and collect powerups, then after 3 minutes you fight using those power ups. It is quite fun, and is exclusive to the 3DS version, if I am not mistaken. There is classic mode, where you choose a character and fight some pre selected enemies until you get to the final boss. Those can be difficult as well. There are a few other modes, but there are too many to get into. Wii U: I believe you can use the 3DS as a controller on the Wii U version of the game, but I don't own a Wii I, so I can't say anything about this. Streetpass: There is Streetpass functionality for this game, but I have yet to encounter a fellow Smasher on the street., Online: This is where problems are...existent. There are 2 main modes: For Glory and For Fun. For Glory is where your battle stats are recorded and put in a leaderboard and all that. No items or anything like that. For Fun is just like normal Smash, but it is with online players. Smash Run can be played with LOCAL multiplayer, meaning somebody close by who also owns a copy of the game. I only played For Fun, and boy was it hard. Not because of the fellow players and their skills, because of the RIDICULOUS lag. The lag can range from playable to 'turn the game off' bad. My first match was not possible to play. It took 30 seconds for any input I made to actually register. The worst part is that the other players seemed fine, and as a result I ended up getting ganged up on. The frames per second were so low, it looked like the world's oldest turtle was doing a slideshow of pictures from the game. The other matches were playable, but it still wasn't possible to win. It took 2 to 3 seconds for input to register, and the frames were tolerable except for a little freezing. But 2 to 3 second input lag is not acceptable when it comes to a fast paced game like Super Smash Bros. My point is: local multiplayer with somebody right next to you, you get the Wii U version. In short, the game is very very fun, and it is amazing what Nintendo was able to do with such limited hardware. But for online matches, it would be best to look at the Wii U version of the game. And there's no story mode.

I love this game! I wasn't one of the kids fortunate enough to grow up with a Nintendo 64 (my brother and I had the Sega Genesis, which was awesome in its own right), so the only times I ever got to play the original Super Smash Bros was at other people's houses. But when we eventually got the GameCube for Christmas one year, You can bet we asked for Melee. We played the crap out of that game. It was ridiculous how much fun it was. And growing up with Gameboys (the original "brick", Pocket, Color, never got an advance but did get an SP, and eventually a DS) neither my brother nor myself ever expected to be able to play a Smash Bros on a handheld one day. Brawl was even more fun, and though the newest console I've purchased is still 2006's Nintendo Wii, I've yet to own that console's Smash Bros installment... But Glory Hallelujah! When a friend of mine wanted to sell his 3DS (which I affectionately call the "Threeds") I was quick to snatch it up! I remember sitting in another friend's living room, begging his crappy internet to keep working, spending the entire day watching this year's E3, and only the Nintendo showing. When the Super Smash Bros for the 3DS finally came out, (and of course I didn't exactly have the date written on my calender, but I'm pretty sure some friends did) it's not hard to guess what I did... I went on Amazon and bought it, because my friend who works at the nearby superstore said it was gone immediately. Now, enough of my life story. All this praise aside, there are a couple things about the game that I'm not giddy like a school girl about: 1. I really miss the Special fights. You know, the slow-mo fights, giant fights, stamina etc. Now, I've been told this feature is returning on the Wii U version, which is all fine and dandy, but I don't see myself buying a Wii U any time soon, I just can't afford it. Luckily I have friends who already have one and are planning on getting that version, so I know I'll get to play them again. 2. The other thing that perturbs me is the fact that they keep certain aspects of the game solely for people who buy BOTH versions of their game. As if anyone needs two versions of the same game. Now, I know it's going to have differences, like the special fights and the 4v4 battles, which I understand why they would keep that feature off a handheld (8 fighters on one tiny screen, regardless as to how big the 3DS XL's screen is, is too much), but it's just the fact that they do that at all. I don't know. Maybe it's just me but I can't see myself buying two copies of the same game, even if I do get Mewtwo... (Mewtwo>Lucario) (#Mewtwoforlife) Those things aside, I greatly enjoy this game and it's basically a dream come true to be able to play it away from a TV and wall plug. I guess this just shows that Nintendo is in the same boat as Blizzard Entertainment: They both know how to get you to spend money. I give Super Smash Bros for the 3DS 5 stars because it's awesome, deserves it and I haven't regret the purchase, and don't think I'm going to. Good job Nintendo, good job. P.S. Pac Man wasn't as bad an addition as we originally thought. Touche.

If I could put a negative, I would. Goodwill are crooks. They are criminal thieves. Professionals at ripping you off. I will never buy from goodwill ever again. They sent a game that was not as advertised. The case was, but the game was of a different genre. This is unacceptable.

If you're into fighting games like Street Fighter, or just a veteran Smash bros. player this is a must-have game on the Nintendo 3ds; the flagship game(The type of game that you can literally buy a system just to have). Graphics - 5/5 All of the visuals in the game are seamless: from the items, assist trophies, pokemon, to the final smashes and lush level designs. All(I mean all) of the characters were designed with love and care that you become attached to them--Even the weird ones such as unlockable characters or characters like Pacman are designed in such a way that they find a home in the Smash brothers universe. There are no glitchy graphics and the hit boxes are very accurate. Even the Mii fighter charcter is integrated well (although I wish you could of been able to use them on online modes as well). Gameplay 4/5 There are many game modes to choose from. Most of them are worth playing especially Smash Run, Classic Mode and Online modes. There are many game modes where you are able to collect trophies and other valuable items such as alterations of characters' moves and other customizable items to create custom versions of characters. A drawback however is you cannot use these custom items (and Mii Fighter) on most (if not all) of the online smash modes. Another drawback from the online modes is that you are at the mercy of players who tend to have a terrible wifi connection. But when all players have good connectivity, that's where the fun begins! All of the mechnics are balanced in this game, where as characters like Bowser or Lucario felt uncomfortably slow in Smash Bros. Brawl, now get a slight speed boost. Lucario's extreme speed move actually hits players, which is a welcomed feature. Characters such as Sheik, Peach, and Zero Suit Samus are slightly stronger as well. Overall many characters have moves that are simply different or edited from Smash Bros. Brawl in which many are welcomed. Other features removed from Brawl such as characters simply tripping or ledge hogging(players grabbing on a ledge before you got on a ledge in order to kill you) makes for a game that is more competitve rather than having cheap tactics and random slip ups. Apparently the 3ds version will also allow you to link it with the Wii U version and also allow for a free download of a recently announced character, Mewtwo in spring if you have both versions. So that's also a big thumbs up. Music - 5/5 This game has some of the greatest soundtracks in video game history. You get to hear the Green Hill song from Sonic 1 while you're winding up a forward smash punch with Sonic to knock out a defensless floating Mario who just used his recovery up special. You got a game with a multitude of very talented composers such as "Tales of" Series - Motoi Sakuraba, Final Fantasy XIII - Masashi Hamauzu, Kingdom Hearts series - Yoko Shimomura, and plenty more. If you played any of the games in those series, you won't be disappointed as far as the music goes. Although there are some silly songs lol -- yet those songs fit the context of the levels and are still composed with great care. Sound Effects and Voices - 4.5/5 The sound effects are very good at times while some of the sounds are cheap. Such as a beam blast from Samus beam shouldn't sound like a toy laser gun lol. Perhaps it was to compensate for handheld systems semi-poor frequency response in the low end of the sound spectrum (in other words sounds such as bass). Most of the voice actors are good and fit the characters. However some of the voice actors, such as the one for Sonic from Brawl were preferred(in my personal preference). Controls - 4/5 Surprisingly for a game that's been on consoles (per say) that's been brought to a handheld, the button response is amazing. It definitely takes getting used to but it is fairly accurate. It's still can use some tweaks however, because when you want to use a up recovery with Greninja, sometimes you catch yourself using his shadow sneak--the difference between you winning the match and your opponent laughing at you for missing the ledge and you falling to your oblivion. You have the freedom of changing most of your controls, which is neat. But there's only so much you should change, because the control layout is standard from the other Smash Bros; replacing the C buttons of the previous consoles with X and Y. If you use the small 3ds(like me) you start to feel the strain on your fingers around 1-2hr+ of playing the game so maybe a bigger 3ds system would be reccomended. Final Thoughts: If you have a 3ds. Buy it; you're getting a video game console game on a handheld 10-20$ less than the console price. This game is actually worth more than the price, and has crazy replay value. Don't take my word for it lol, check interviews on Gamespot or IGN. If you don't have a 3ds and have a Wii U, then wait for/buy the Wii U version cuz it'll probably be just as good. But then again, you can't really plug in a Wii U in a long car ride/plane ride to another state/another country. Kids will definitely love it--you can't go wrong. Veterans will appreciate it. And I've been playing Super Smash Bros. since the very first one on Nintendo 64 and I have to say, it's come a long way. It's just as fun as the ones on consoles. So like I said in the beginning of the review, it's worth buying the handheld system for and I can see it being played by many people for years to come. Pure greatness.

Throughout its history, the smash franchise hasn't brought a game to the handheld platform until now. For being the pioneer in doing this, I can gladly say that SSB3DS is a fantastic game. Controls are tight, online play is usually low lag and the game modes are fun and worthwhile. Smash run has had a lot of people on the fence about this game; however, one could look to the likes of a game such as Kirby Air ride and its city trial to reveal the true nature of such a game mode. Though it may seem like a 5 minute grind, it's important to understand that it is by no means without strategy; it's a high paced search that requires you to look frantically for treasure, enemies and gates to challenge areas in order to get powerups. After the 5 minute search, there's a concluding 2 minute smash, race or some other form of battle to show your stuff. It's influenced by the power ups collected, but the winner isn't necessarily predetermined by powerups (as proof, I've defeated computers that had collected three times as many speed powerups as me in a race.) For that reason I find it to be an enjoyable game mode. Another complication with moving to the portable platform is the size of characters on the screen. Locating the characters isn't difficult at all; in fact, I found it pretty easy to keep track of things even without character outlines on. Another factor is that character models have been significantly simplified in order to operate smoothly. It's unnoticeable when in play, but at the victory screen it's the most visible (granted, not all of the characters look bad, but a few of them could use touch ups (fox and dark pit look kind of gross.)) Gameplay itself is fantastic. Many techs from previous games have been eliminated presumably by an upgrade in code, though not all of them are gone (for example, some characters can still dash attack cancel up smash [DACUS] just fine.) The character roster is by FAR the most balanced out of all the games, which is great news for a lot of players who enjoyed lower tier characters (shouts to my fellow ganon players.) In conclusion, I'd say that SSB4 for the 3DS, though it may not be perfect, is totally worth buying.

It came so fast and is even brand new with plastic wrap on top and works great.

Très bien

Un poco aburrido al final

The product it's in good condition and i'm sure it's legit but I was hoping for the american version of the product as I have an american nintendo 3ds; the picture is misleading. American 3DS games usually rated by ESRB and European 3DS games by PEGI.
