Smash 3DS Is this version obsolete?

[JFyst]

Does the 3ds version title still have potential to be anything other than the lesser played twin? What are people's thoughts on this?

[SmashBear]

Basically the answer to this conversation always goes like this
Wii U = Home use cause not everybody wants to travel with a wii u with them
3DS = Portable use
So saying the 3DS version is obsolete is like saying a DS is better than a snes it just goes down for personal preference and convenience

 

[ndayday]

i told myself I'd play both but there is literally no reason to play 3DS smash now. Even with portability in mind, just ugh. I GUESS I might tote it around if I ever went to a tournament?

 

[Reila]

Your thread is obsolete.

 

[Grimmjow]

I dont think so, for me the portability is just perfect since im traveling a lot from home to the university. Both ver. Have their pros so calling one of them obsolete wouldnt be fair.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Got good equipment in Smash 3DS? You can always make a customization and transfer it over to Smash Wii U.

 

[Soul.]

No. To say that this version is obsolete is silly.
People still play the 3DS version.

 

[SmashBro99]

3DS version was a nice $40 demo, but yeah.

Well, it's not obsolete if you don't have a Wii U and the Wii U version I guess /shrug

 

[FireOfExile]

In my opinion, not at all. There's pros and cons to each version. I own both, but I don't have much of a preference. I've been playing For Glory a lot on both, and if I'm using one I'll probably be spectating on the other. I use the 3DS to play with my friends as that's a lot easier than bringing my Wii U to school. I also do customization type stuff on the 3DS. If I'm playing online I try doing the Wii U though because of a better connection.

It's not obsolete.
3DS is still being played by lots of people.. so no.

 

[Space Stranger]

Is it really that hard to accept that both versions can coexist?

I swear, everyweek we get the same thread.

Smartphones > WeeBeeEsss

Home Console at home > Portable at home

Some people are broke so they can't afford a Wii U.

 

[Admiral Pit]

When you want to play Smash on the go, the 3ds is there for you. Plus I love Smash Run much more than Smash Tour.

 

[Soul.]

Smartphones > WeeBeeEsss

Home Console at home > Portable at home

Some people are broke so they can't afford a Wii U.

And if they can't afford getting a Wii U, is that a problem? Lots of people prefer handhelds more than home consoles.

 

[Quillion]

If Smash 3DS is obsolete, it's your own fault for: a) having overblown expectations of Smash 3DS and b) not being smart and simply waiting for Smash U. Get over it.

 

[Mrwhatzitooya]

Smash 3DS is certainly not obsolete. First off, you certainly can't play SmashU on the go! Plus points for the 3DS already! And then there's Smash Run, exclusive to the 3DS version!

So no, I definitely don't think it's obsolete

 

[ChikoLad]

For me personally, it kinda is becoming that right now.

I still bring it into college everyday, but there is absolutely nothing left for me to do. Apart from the 5 Mii Hats I am missing (that I cannot influence getting), I have everything in the game. I've even read every single trophy description.

It's really just my custom build maker at this point. And I play Smash Run on the bus I guess. Still, I have no real use for it. I will have more use for it when the New 3DS comes out though.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

I already had a 3DS for Pokémon; this version gave me my Smash fix for cheap so I didn't have to shell out for a Wii U and that version. For that, I am grateful. The only thing I really covet about the Wii U version is some of its stages, but it isn't worth it to me for buying a new system and game.

I still play this version on and off so it's not obsolete to me.

 

[MushroomManiac]

I'd like to think of the 3DS version as the "take Smash on the go and play in short bursts" approach while the console version is more like the "Sit at home and really immerse yourself in the Smash world" kinda game.

 

[Reila]

3DS version was a nice $40 demo, but yeah.

Well, it's not obsolete if you don't have a Wii U and the Wii U version I guess /shrug

It wasn't a demo. Stop spreading this bull****.

 

[Hayzie]

It wasn't a demo. Stop spreading this bull****.

Aye. 3ds doesn't have as much content as the Wii U version, but the main purpose of the game is Smash. The extras are still nice even if they aren't as fleshed out. I could Smash all day on the 3ds if I had to.

 

[Curious Villager]

I guess I'm one of the few who quite enjoy's playing both versions......

Eitherway, nope, the 3DS version has portability which is especially useful considering I'm always out and about and it has all the custom moves and everything I've unlocked in that game so I can use this version if I want to customize my characters and transfer them over to the Wii U version instead of unlocking the whole lot all over again on that version. Plus it has Smash Run, which I actually quite enjoyed a lot more than Smash Tour. Despite how cheap and hectic it sometimes can be.....

In the end, I guess it all depends on your own personal preferences and all. But to me, it isn't obsolete at all as it's still getting played despite owning the Wii U version.

 

[kenniky]

I must be the only person that prefers the 3DS's cartoony look to the Wii U's shinier, realistic one.

Huh.

 

[no1butmenotu]

I honestly haven't even touched the 3ds version that much aside from transferring equipment and custom moves. Also I unlocked practically all of the trophies and completed most of the challenges, so there isn't too much of a reason for me to return to it since I have the Wii U version.

This version is still relevant regardless of my personal tastes. It's good if people don't have the Wii U version and on the go, like many people in this thread stated already. Personally, since I have the Wii U version I can focus on other 3ds games that need my attention, such as Persona Q, Bravely Default, Metal Gear, and Resident Evil Revelations.

 

[Jawnsunn]

I must be the only person that prefers the 3DS's cartoony look to the Wii U's shinier, realistic one.

Huh.

Oh thank god I'm not the only person who prefers the cel-shaded look in the 3DS version.

I thought the animations and effects really pop with that style.

 

[Arle Nadja]

There really is no downplaying the novelty of portable smash, so no.

 

[Tattles]

I can't play Smash with my friends in the middle of class without it. So no. It's not.

 

[Team Plasma N]

No, it's portable and you can transfer your data to the Wii U version. If you have both games and you're at home, then yeah you might use the Wii U Version at home only. But when travelling away from home, that's where the 3DS version comes in handy.

 

[SS-bros14]

As it's been stated many times before, more 3DS owners than WiiU owners, also some things, so Smash 3DS still alive, blah blah blah all that good jazz.
