Smash 3DS So... Who's still gonna be online on 3ds November 21?

[Deleted member]

I'll still be playing 3DS the most, so yes.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I just can't justify buying a system for a single game

The buy for the other 10+ great exclusives too.

 

[Leyo]

Hard to say. I'd definitely prefer playing the Wii U version for sure but I can see myself playing the 3DS version on Nov 21st as well.

 

[WhiteCane]

The Wii U still uses motion control if that's what you mean. Smash Bros. doesn't use it though, just like it didn't on the Wii.

Both versions have the same characters.

That's good never liked motion controls they don't sound as forced on you for Wii U, the gamepad does seem interesting maybe i'll buy one down the line if I don't like PS$ games. Shadow of Mordor is a real gamble now since I never been also AAA titles.

 

[MightyTro]

I think what helps, is the fact that the 3DS will work as a controller with the WiiU version, so even when the new 3ds comes out, I could see people using 3ds controls as they get used to them.

 

[SS-bros14]

*facepalm* Dude... Like I've said before. The graphics, the size of the screen, the controller, and the more content. Just ONE of these makes the Wii U version obviously superior. There's no debate in that. So whatever the modes actually are doesn't matter because the game is still the same core game. And thus the above points (except content) shows that it's better on Wii U. AND people are very much not liking Smash Run...

You are aware that not everyone cares about graphics and a gamecube controller, right?

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

Then they care about the other stuff. And not just Gamecube controller, a proper controller. My hands hurts so much after playing so much Smash on 3DS.

 

[Prince Lolz]

Not me. I will have my hands full between smash U, AW, Alpha sapphire, and sunset overdrive...

 

[Soul.]

Yes, I'm still going to play the 3DS version. I'm not even interested on the Wii U.

 

[Bladeyer]

I think i'll stick to playing the wii U version (gc controller OP), but the 3ds mobility is awesome for playing outside house. I think there'll still be a lot of ppl playing on 3ds tho.

Yeah... About that..... Super comfortable option if you switch to 2DS for Super Smash Bros.

But yeah, even then, I do still prefer the GameCube controller as well. It's the ideal game controller for life
When the Wii U version comes out, it'll be my primary Smash experience, and it'll definitely have a serious competitive scene, unlike the 3DS version. The ultimate problem with any potential competitive scene for the 3DS is that if there's ever a serious tournament for it, any comfort grips (like mine pictured above) will likely be prohibited, and any 3DS/XL/2DS/New3DS/NewXL participating will have to be in standard form.

The way I see it, the Wii U version is the serious version I'll be entering tournaments in, while I'll always continue to play the 3DS version in any situations in which I'm away from my Wii U. XD

The 2DS is comfortable with or without the comfort grips. I could play 24 hours on a normal 2DS and my hands still wouldn't be cramped.

My hands never got cramped on the 2DS with Mario Kart 7 where I'd get serious cramps on my old 3DS XL, and my older original 3DS, but the Smash demo gave me extreme cramps on the 3DS/XL (after a mere 30 minutes), and was enough for me to get some light cramps after greatly extended play even on the 2DS (4 hours or more) due to how rough I handle a controller in smash. XD

With GameStop's PDP 2DS trigger grips, I never get cramps. It's like using a Wii U Gamepad. ^-^

 

[Captain Norris]

My hands are fairly large, yet I have never gotten cramps. :/

 

[Sosuke]

i can think of 0 reasons to not trade in 3ds smash the day the Wii U version is out, so i'll be doing that

the 3ds version so far has just been a glorified beta to me

but hey, still getting the soundtrack and matchup practice, and so at least it was useful

 

[Second Power]

I'll still be playing it post Wii U release. I just plain prefer it on the 3DS as crazy as many people here may find that. Playing on a console is a whole production for me where I won't ever do it unless I have a few hours to kill. With the 3ds version, I can grab it whenever I want, play a couple matches, then go on to do what I need to.

I'm also that one guy who finds that the 3ds controls better.

Why trade it in so early when you payed money for it at most they'll give $10 for it.

 

[TurboPikachu]

My GameStop is advertising $20 until Oct. 27, and $16 on the Wii U version's release (Nov. 21). I'm keeping my 3DS Smash forever though. $16 is really sad considering we bought it for $40, and that's only gonna represent 25% off his Wii U Smash. smh

I'm just gonna go full-tilt with Smash 4, being addicted to both versions indefinitely (or if there ever is a Smash 5 in 2020 or whatever)

 

[Bozeefus]

To be honest i don't think so. this stick is atrocious, this will definitely be my portable version once it hits november 21st

 

[Artero]

Besides all the people who don't own or plan on owning a Wii U, but who do have a 3DS + Smash (which are already a lot), there's also every European and Japanese that won't be playing 'till the 5th and the 6th of December respectively.

 

[GeNo-BreaKer]

So many pompous @55ed know it all's in this thread

«sigh»

I can't. Just can't. Haters gonna hate....that is established, but wow lol so many smash elitist Wii U nutswingers. I think a few of you chose the 3DS Smash subforum by mistake >_>

Way too dismiss everyone who knows the Wii U version is objectively better by calling them "haters" and "smash elitist Wii U nutswingers".

Anyways, terrible post aside, people who aren't fortunate enough to have Smash Wii U or don't want it (Either for having the terrible mindset that both versions are objectively equal, lol, or it's their preference.) are definitely gonna keep playing on 3DS. 3DS has sold 44 million units. Wii U is barely at 7 million units. 3DS Smash is gonna sell 3 times as much as Wii U Smash.

 

[Captain Norris]

I will play it every now andthen. More so if Smash Run was online, but whatever.

 

[Orngeblu]

Both versions have the same characters.

You never know, there could be DLC.

 

[LinkNIvy]

I have no idea when I'll get a Wii U so I'll still be online in the 3DS version

 

[KentaKurodani]

I won't say that I've never enjoyed smash on a gc controller, and I have yet to play smash 4 on one, but I can't just buy a wii u, and i imagine a lot of us here can't. Outside of the other games, I just don't have enough money to go out and buy a console at a whim. So I still think I'll mostly do 3ds, and if i make enough to get a wii u as well, perhaps I will. I still will bring my 3ds as a controller to a tournament, unless they provide the adapters as well, since i do still have my wii and gc, so i have the controllers

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

Actually, I will be online then because I live in Europe and it comes out here on December 5th. T.T

 

[SirSlayer]

I'll still be online. I don't own a Wii u yet and when I do I play on that but my online time won't die down on the 3ds plus my kids like hogging the TV anyway

 

[lijero13ss]

Well seeing as how garbage the Wii U is, i won't be buying it just for Smash. Im sticking to 3ds

 

[warionumbah2]

Yes i will drop the 3ds unless im on a long trip with my family or on holiday.

-Why the hell will i play it in college?
-Why play it on the bus when i can eihter talk to my friends or listen to music?
-Not playing it anywhere outside my house.


Wii U version in my Wii U vs 3ds version, of course i'll play the U version.

 

[AustarusIV]

Yeah, no, I'm not saying the Wii U is bad, I just can't really afford it at the moment and people act like the whole community will be getting Wii U's just for Smash

This pretty much sums my opinion on the Wii U version, even though I have one. I'm really low on cash and I can't justify getting another game that will be almost identical to this one, but with different stages and a few select modes imported from Brawl. I already have Project M for that (for the console Smash experience).

I might get it someday, but only for the purpose of training for competitive tourneys. Otherwise, I will be using the 3DS version most of the time.

 

[Minuy600]

I'm getting the Wii U version after the release, so yes, I definatly will be online for a while. Even when I get the 'U version i'm still quite active to play with my friends who don't have it.

 

[Reetrider]

I plan to still play both but put more time into the Wii U version.

 

[sweq32]

I'll stick around for a while after. I don't have the money to buy a Wii U or Smash U just yet.

 

[LoveGame]

I probably will because I'm an adult and no longer have the ability to beg every new game console out of my parents. Doesn't help that no one in my town will hire me. Realistically, it'll be early 2015 before I get my hands on a Wii U. Though I'll probably be playing more PM than Sm4sh til then.

 

[onyxchief1]

I'll definitely still be playing, since I don't have a Wii U, probably won't get it until years later.
