Smash 3DS Who will you main: 2DS, 3DS or 3DS XL?

[LIQUID12A]

OG 3DS for me(I accidentally voted XL due to mobile :/)

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Gotta go with the original 3DS

 

[PKNinja95]

My normal 3DS is broken so I'll have to buy a XL before October :/

 

[MoHarp]

I've got the XL but I also have a cool grip around it that makes it feel like you're holding a controller in your hand. It's purrrty spiffy!

 

[bigbro2233]

I have both the 3DS and the XL, I think the XL is for me.

 

[Drexel]

I actually need help with this choice. I own a 3DS at the moment but after seeing my bro's 2DS and holding it, it felt really comfortable and I think might be good to get one of my own. However, the 3DS XL offers larger screens making it easier to see what is happening and unfortunately I didn't get to try it at Smashfest because that was the model they had the demo on, and I was playing the WiiU version. Any opinions/thoughts on which I should use?

 

[DraginHikari]

I used to have a standard 3DS. I bought a XL recently after trying the game at the Best Buy Smashfest event and decided I liked the XL better.

 

[L9999]

I'm going to start with my good old regular 3DS.

 

[STiCKYBULL3TZ]

I don't have a 3ds at all. Going to get the XL just for this game

I have tried both the regular 3DS and the XL. Never the 2DS though. I must say I like the XL a lot more. Yes, the regular 3DS looks more "crisp", but the XL have a bigger screen, which in turn means you can see details more clearly (which I believe will be an advantage for SSB3DS on the XL). Also the XL's controls and grip work out much better for me, as I have pretty big hands (this is of course very much a personal preference). I recommend the XL, though it's quite a big investment if you already have a regular one. If you have the opportunity you should really try all three and decide for yourself, as it seems this choice is almost purely up to personal preference. After all, the software and hardware is (almost) the same. Good luck!

I can't comment on the 2DS as I've never actually used one, but something to consider when deciding; both the 3DS and 3DS XL have Circle Pad Pro attachments. Second circle pads that could offer you a real advantage over others since I imagine most playing the handheld version won't have 'em. 2DS is missing this. Not sure how big of a deal that'd be for you, but they are fairly cheap. $20-$30ish USD.

Have a 3DS XL and already ordered a Circle Pad Pro for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Ready to go for Smash, though I am eager to try a 2DS at some point since I keep hearing they're quite comfortable from several different people.

 

[Komenja]

I only have a 2DS. Better eat more carrots, I guess.

Aren't the Circle Pad Pro's made for left-handed players though? It might sound silly if that is wrong but I vaguely remember something like that about those things. Plus I am right-handed if that is so, and I think the 2DS is my best bet as it fits my hands much like a Gamecube controller with minor differences.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

2DS? lol

3DS XL Master Race.

 

[Zero Suit Wario]

I'm gonna main the special limited smash xl.. huh? It's still not out yet? WHY!?!

It doesn't really seem targeted at left-handed gamers imo. I'm right-handed as well and it feels quite comfortable to me.

 

[DeadlyLampshade]

Of all the characters we currently know, I'll either main Kirby, Varia Suit Samus, or Palutena.

Edit: My mistake, I will be playing it on the 3DS XL.

 

[pichupal]

Made a topic for it, but I'll post the news here since I think it'll change people's minds on the poll

Smash 3DS XL, only announced for Europe so far.

this i may give up my 2ds for

 

[STiCKYBULL3TZ]

^^If this comes to the states, this is definitely my main!

 

[Richtea007]

Sold my 3DS aqua blue two weeks ago and upgraded to a black 3DS xl.

 

[leeprtr]

think ill go with the 2ds
i like the layout of it
*prepared for hate*

 

[The Revolutionary Cafe]

I'm using the og 3DS but I"ll be using this. (I'll also try it out on my little brother's 2DS)

 

[Renji64]

I just got a XL a day ago I really like it compared to my old 3ds.

 

[KRBAY]

Actually, I could possibly get that Yoshi XL, though I currently have the Aqua Blue original variant. So...

 

[Jerm]

I'll give it a whirl on my red 3DS. However, if my hands cramp up or I feel the characters are a bit small for me to see, I'll definitely upgrade to an XL.

This.

 

[Smash G]

I played a bit. You've got to be insane to play on anything but an XL .

Basically everything is freakin' TINY! On some maps you're basically a dot on the screen! That is the number one issue anyone I know personally has with it. It was clearly not designed specifically for a tiny screen and a tiny resolution.

I cannot say enough how TINY everything feels. I have no idea why the display demos were with normal 3DSs and not XLs.

 

[jaytalks]

original 3DS. It has been through a lot with me.

 

[The Revolutionary Cafe]

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2014/08/29/new-nintendo-3ds-xl-announced-in-japan/ well this is interesting.

 

[Nstinct]

I plan on maining the New 3DS XL, even if it means I'll have to wait a couple to play Sm4sh. Seriously, a c-stick and extra shoulder buttons!? I don't need a Circle pad pro anymore.

I'm so hyped right now! Thanks Nintendo!

 

[Ginger Hail]

Might stick with my XL for now, but at some point I may upgrade to the New XL. Wonder if Smash 3DS will actually have CCP/New support in terms of the additional buttons/stick.

 

[SS-bros14]

I'm pretty sure 'Upgrade to the 'New Nintendo 3DS' should be an option now.

 

[ferioku]

Buying the "New 3DS XL" since it supports much more things!

 

[RPGatWill]

The New 3DS XL I would definitely upgrade to now. It just has so many improvements it can't be ignored.

 

[NoPLo]

OG + Circle Pad Pro

 

[Trickerhere]

I am going to be playing with original 3ds and might consider upgrading to the NEW 3DS.

 

[adom4]

I was going to buy that smash 3DS XL, but then they announced the new 3ds so i'll be getting that one when it comes out.

 

[Flareon]

I'll be playing with the original 3DS until the N3DS comes out.

 

[Dratnell]

I highly suggest upgrading to the 3DS XL. It's all around more comfy than the OG3DS or 2DS, the screen is gorgeous as well. Really helps when playing games that require a lot of focus.

plus it's just so pretty

 

[MargnetMan23]

I'm not going to waste money getting the XL or New 3DS when it comes out when I'll be playing Smash Wii U more often (most likely any way) so I'm stuck with the classic 3DS
