For those Smashers still looking to get a glimpse of the latest installment of Smash, the demo of Smash Bros. for 3DS is now available on the Nintendo eShop. It includes Mario, Link, Pikachu, Villager and Mega Man, and a single stage, Battlefield.

Many people were able to get their hands on this demo last week when special Club Nintendo members received multiple demo codes to distribute between friends and family.

Have you already played the demo? What did you think? Make your voice heard in the comments below!

A friend gave me one of the demo codes earlier; is the demo that just released still the "special" demo, or is it titled just "demo" now?

Victory? Victory, you say? Not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun this Code War has.

I"m going to rack up a hefty amount of coins before the full game releases. I hope it transfers.

Loving it so far but if I had to nitpick the blast zones are too big and characters survive too long also no Wolf. The 3DS controls are way harder to defeat than the AI

That's disappointing, but understandable. It is only a demonstration after all.

So far, it's pretty good. It plays nice with a four man setup and the items are interesting to use. Bit weird on the controls since I prefer L for shielding and R for grabbing (I would think my R like Z for Melee/Brawl, so it's weird being on the left) but will be remedy when the game comes out in two more weeks. Overall, can't wait for full version.

Same for me. I like L for shielding more for some reason. Also gotta disable that tap jump...

Those of us getting Hyrule Warriors have it good for a while, today, Smash 3DS demo, next Friday, Hyrule Warriors, the Friday after that, the full version of Smash 3DS, hell you even got Bayonetta 2 coming a few weeks from then...Man Nintendo is really good at draining wallets.

FIRST TO LIKE, AHA!

Um, anyway, yeah. The game is amazing (or at least the demo). Like I said in a recent post, this game feels more like it's own game than a brawl copy. Maybe it's because of the Turnaround Cancel or maybe how everyone looks, but for sure this is fun. Get this demo now if you haven't already!

Lol I hear ya, at this point I $200 towards Hyrule Warriors, Smash 3DS and Smash Wii-U's GC controller adapter bundle, I'll be lucky if I could afford Bayonetta 2 before it comes out.

I got it. The game is great, it's really fast, I had no problem with the default controls, and I could see everything in the small 3DS screen (I have an OG 3DS). This is the handheld Smash Bros. I've been wanting for years.

Who? Pikachus? I think Pikachu's up-tilt combos a lot of the time, which of course feels nice?

Been playing for the past week due to the genereosity of a friend, but I'm happy more people are getting a chance. I have put more time into this demo than I have on some full priced games.

The demo is fantastic. Smash 4 feels like it's own thing and i like that. The characters are really good (Link and Mario are the standouts, those two are awesome) and the items are great (getting Ghirahim and Dark Samus in matches is never bad). I really enjoy this demo.
