Smash 3DS 3DS Home Button Crash

[ZobmieRules]

My physical copy of SSB4 straight-out crashes my 3DS (guaranteed 100% of the time, every time, no matter what, ever) if I try to close the game using the home menu.

It's not a big problem, no. I mean, I can just turn the system back on, but this seems like an odd bug, yet I haven't heard of it online whatsoever. I'm thinking it's probably just a faulty cart, but I that's just a guess.

Anyone else have this problem? Just me? Probably just me...

Have you updated your smash version to 1.04?

I'm experiencing the same thing, whenever i close the game, i always use the power button to completely close my 3ds before turning it back on. Annoying, but I can live with it.

Hmmm... Have you updated?

Yup, exact wording in the notifications: "Ver. 1.0.4 [11/18/2014]".

I have tried searching in the internet but all I found was this

Cant help you otherwise. Might as well call the company.

When you say "crash" do you mean it actually legit messes up and crashes?

Because Super Smash Bros. for 3DS uses like 100% of the 3DS's power and every single copy forces the system to restart if you close it from the home menu.

The system goes blank and unresponsive, turns off completely, then restarts a moment later. Does that really happen with every copy? Isn't that a problem?

Yes, the game makes the system restart every time it's closed because it uses so much of the 3DS's power. When you close it, it says "please wait" for a second, screen goes blank, then the 3DS restarts.

Yup! That's all normal! If you want to get even more technical:

• When a CPU intensive game like Smash 4 or Monster Hunter 4 is booted, the 3DS is sliently rebooted into an expanded memory mode. This is why the game takes longer than other 3DS games to start up.

• When in this high memory usage mode, the home screen's allocated memory is reduced (Or so I believe), hence why it takes longer for the HOME menu to appear, and also explains why you can't use the Internet Browser nor Miiverse.

• The 3DS cannot exit this mode unless it is restarted. So, when you exit Smash 4, the game is programmed to reset the 3DS so that it can "refresh" it and put it back in standard memory mode, ready for whatever you're going to do next.

The more you know!~

Wow, thanks for the info. As long as it's intended, and not a bug or something detrimental to the system, then I don't mind.

Well stated! The New 3DS's shouldn't have this issue thanks to the added processing power.

Well stated! The New 3DS's shouldn't have this issue thanks to the added processing power.

Looking at the specs, the New 3DS has a quad-core based processor instead of the regular 3DS's dual-core based processor, so playing games like MH4 or Smash will be MUCH snappier and responsive. The home menu won't lag and it probably won't need to reset out of high memory mode after every play.

Now...if only I had the money for a new 3DS XL... :/

when i press the home menu the screen freezes and never return to home menu... i have to press the power button to restart the 3ds... someone else have this issue? D:

I've never had any problems with returning to the HOME menu while playing Smash 3DS.
