The controller is fine, but everyone will play on the 3DS itself anyway. Unless Nintendo themselves make an adapter for the 3DS, which is unlikely, maybe.

man people need to stop with the GameCube controller the GameCube controller is not the only way to play smash
and wouldn't be harder to see the screen anyways so that was just stupid if you really have that big of a problem with playing smash on a 3ds then don't even play smash on a 3ds

Will be getting a circle pad pro if it's supported like it should be.
This defeats the purpose of playing on the 3ds tbh.

To be honest, the 3DS needs a sleeker, and thinner circle pad to be used for SSB 3DS.

It was inevitable, but I'll just stick with the regular 3DS. Unless there's something like a slide-on controller shape thing to adjust to, I'd rather not have to use the actual Gamecube controller for it.

While the idea is awesome, like most said, it defeats the idea of portability. I'll be playing the game with the 3DS controls, so yeah.

Someone likes Melee too much...

Worst thing is that beyond fast paced games like KI:U, Smash, SF4 and MAYBE shooters, this is dead-weight to the owner.

speaking of which where do i buy it

What's the point of calling this the 'handheld version' if you're just going to play it with a GameCube controller? Can you not wait until the Wii U version comes out?

Not speaking for everyone, but I would really like this, at least for being home and playing all those modes that are only in the 3DS version (like Smash Run) with (slightly?) better controls.

Not saying it should be like that for everyone, but more options aren't bad, and I would totally embrace some kind of thing like this, that didn't involve losing my console's warranty.

Well not surprising somebody figured something out for this but I plan to just get used to the 3ds controls.

I feel like if Smash for 3DS is still competitive even after the Wii U version comes out then this might be the way that a lot of dedicated players will play, however I just really can't see that happening due to the exact same physics and such of both games. There really just won't be a competitive scene for the 3DS version post release of the Wii U version because who would pick playing on a 3DS over playing on a Wii U?

You know, not everyone has a Wii U. Smash 3DS will be just as competitive as the Wii U version.
I understand what you're saying, though.

...Guess I'm the only one here who thinks this looks awesome. :c

On second look, it'd probably be annoying not to have the screen closer to my face since I need to hold the controller, but if it's an easy install I'd love to try it out at least once and see how well it handles.

People who don't have a wii u or the money to buy one and got the 3ds version i dont have a wii u so i have no choice but to be competative on the 3ds version but i'm sure there will still be competative players on the 3ds after the wii u version comes oout

Yeah definitely that's a good point, and it's a good way to win some more stuff if you're M2K. It is a cool adapter none the less, but it might actually be banned from competition in order to make the two games different in some manner come to think of it. What do people think about that possibility?

And the adapter is definitely a better way to play without a doubt, just not the most convenient. I think that's why it's getting hate. I'll probably only go out of my way to buy it if I REALLY want to get competitive with the 3DS version, but even still the circle pad pro is good enough imo

It looks like it would be a mess to play the game like that.
No thanks.
I'm also probably going to stick to the Pro Controller on the Wii U.

You can get 'competitive' in Smash without a Gamecube controller... Particularly in the handheld version...

Do you have anymore prejudices not mentioned yet?

I'd probably get it because it exist lol
But seriously, the game should support the CCP. If it doesn't, that's a big letdown.
As for learning to play with something other than a gamecube controller, some things are just not possible with a Wiimote (a classic, Pro, etc. controller is fine). I could use a classic/Pro controller (and I probably will try and end up using them alot), but I just like the gc controller for smash alot.
Even then, from the video annotation the c-stick is mapped to the circlepad just like the stick, making this useless.

Even with circle pad pro support, I doubt Smash 3DS is gonna be really competitive (at least not near the level of Smash Wii U) so I don't think anyone's gonna need a GameCube controller
