Are you going to buy a hand grip?

[leeprtr]

simple question.
i just bought one because if i play for too long i get cramps.
and i HATE that SOOO much!
just wondering what you guys have to say!

 

[Raijinken]

Unlikely. Any system I've owned and played for extended periods of time, I've gotten used to the controller.

 

[TerminalMontage]

I will most likely be getting a Circle Pad Pro, but the shape of the device will still be rectangular, and get uncomfortable after a while. I wish there was a grip you could put on, with the CPP on, or a grip with a CPP built in.

 

[MrGameandBalls]

No, I won't waste my money on that. If the sideways wiimote works perfectly for me, why not the 3DS?

 

[SS-bros14]

Nope.
My hands have only cramped like once or twice using my 3DS, and I've had my 3DS since Summer 2011. I don't think I'll need a controller grip.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I ordered this yesterday. I had the same one before (loved it) but for some darn reason I can't find it anywhere. I also have the Circle Pad Pro just in case Smash 3DS actually supports it.

 

[Reila]

I have no plans of buying anything other than the game at the moment.

Is that 2DS Compatible? :3

 

[Wario Bros.]

No. This specific model isn't compatible with the 3DS XL version either.

Dangit. :<

 

[Poots]

Seems like something only worth buying if you only play at home. I guess I'll consider it, but it just feels counter-intuitive for a hand-held system.

they have one for 2ds

Join the club.
I've literally only gotten hand cramps like 3 times in my whole life.

Same! No controller makes have cramps, but the 3ds like, twice maybe.

Only gotten a cramp like twice on a wiimote, and only like once on my 3DS.

We meet again cx

 

[Aninymouse]

Wrong forum? They do have a 3DS forum. I know people use this as the general Smash 4 forum, but it's kinda not, technically.

Um, this is in the 3DS forum...

Well this is general 3ds so isn't it fine?

 

[Aninymouse]

Hahahahha!!

Oh man, I'm sorry! I clicked a notification to a post I made, and then clicked the link to go back to the forum, and hadn't noticed that I got warped to the 3DS section!

Hahaha...

Haha, it's cool!

 

[LIQUID12A]

Yup. I'm taking the 3DS version for training for the Wii U, so I need a controller grip 8)

This is so sad. The 3DS version deserves more than be neglected as a "training mode".

Meh, I've learned to live with it.

 

[Reila]

Meh, I've learned to live with it.

I didn't :/

 

[SS-bros14]

I didn't :/

You learn to when you spend time on Miiverse.
But honestly, I don't see where all this 3DS version 'being training 'till the WiiU version' stuff came from. At one point everyone was like '3DS version FTW!'

 

[Aninymouse]

When I used to have a normal sized 3DS, I bought a battery extender/grip thing from Best Buy. Man, the original 3DS has terrible battery life! And the small size was uncomfortable for my hands, so the beefy grip helped my hands relax.

I sold that one a while back. I got an XL when Pokemon XY came out. Haven't had any need for a grip since, and the battery is much improved!

I think some people can't accept the idea of a handheld device having a full fledged Smash Bros game, so they call it "training version", "inferior version", "filler until the Wii U version comes out", etc. It just make them look silly for trying to belittle a perfectly fine game imo.

Yeah, probably something like that.

Aww, don't be sad :3

I'll still play both versions to their fullest, but I consider the 3DS to make me comfortable with a controller akin to the Wii U; that doesn't mean I'm dropping it once it launches, in fact it's to maintain my dexterity on both versions so I can be prepared(insert lion king here) for any surprise tournaments or something.

Sowwy for that misunderstanding :3

Yeah, I guess no one played attention at SDCC. The whole point of that was to show the 3ds version was viable for competitive play.

 

[Aninymouse]

Yeah, the SDCC sure helped me catch the vision, for one.

But uh, kind of off topic now

Yeah...off topic. They didn't use hand grips at SDCC...ON TOPIC.

 

[Jae]

I don't think I'll need anything of the sort for the game.
It's comfortable enough for me to play Uprising for hours on hours, so Smash Bros. should be just fine.

 

[JUr]

Well, I never suffered cramps for playing 3DS but I mainly played RPGs so there wasn't a rough use... I had hand cramps thrice with Soul Calibur for PSP and it's not nice u.u

And in the name of prevention I ordered this grip yesterday, in theory it arrives at wednesday, I'll share my comments then...

 

[AppleCracker]

I wish they made these for XLs. My friend gets hand cramps from almost EVERY 3ds game. I should buy one for him.

 

[STiCKYBULL3TZ]

I have big hands and I never cramped playing the GBA SP for long periods of time. I think I'll be good here. No grip for me. But if a friend gets one I'll try to see if it makes much of a difference

 

[Storm Eagle]

I got this one weeks ago. I tested it with Mario Kart 7 and Sonic Generations and it's great! You will never want to play 3DS games that require both triggers without this thing ever again!
