Is the decision to develop the latest rendition of Smash Bros for both the 3DS and Wii U forcing a change to game's mechanics? Are the system's limitations a hindrance to the game as a whole? We take a look to see if the system really does the game justice.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch made playing Smash 4, on either system a thing of the past. But for today’s piece, I wanted to revisit the 3DS version of the previous generation of Smash Bros., to see how it holds up and see if time has changed my opinion on the first portable Smash Bros. game."
There are few franchises that seem to have been played by almost everyone in the world at least once. Standing with titans like Pac-Man, Mario Kart, and Call of Duty, Super Smash Bros. is a household name.
Been playing Smash Bros. since the original came out and this is one list I can whole heartedly agree on.

Kinda interested in the game (Switch), but its consistently high price combined with 2 equally expensive Season Passes means I’ll probably never get to own/play it.
Most likely they'll release a deluxe edition for the Switch 2 cause they've shown no interest in re-releasing any of their games with dlc in "complete edition"s. But having to buy another Nintendo console wouldn't really be a good solution either.
They might, but I assume just re-releasing this game on next gen will get the existing fans angry, who would prefer a completely new Smash game (like they’re upset about there not being a new Mario Kart this gen).
Seeing how very few Switch games I actually bought, because of those high prices by Nintendo, I also doubt I’d invest in a new console from Nintendo.
@Yi-Long,
I would kill for a new Mario Kart, 8 isn't bad by any stretch, but it doesn't make the best of the Switch's capabilities, although I pretty excited for that new Mario Party. I do own quite a few Switch games, but I'd own more if the games weren't so expensive, it they're not Nintendo exclusive I end up buying elsewhere.
Looking to grow your game collection on a budget? GameStop’s B2G2 Sale allows you to buy two pre-owned games and get two free. The games must be valued at $29.99 or less.
There are actually a ton of good games that are pre-owned at 29.99 or less if you search the site. Weird the games they included in the advert but bunch of others available for that price and they all work if under 30. Just search pre-owned games on your platform and most are already under 30.
Before this week they had an even better deal buy 6 games and get 50 percent off the entire price. Luckily i took major advantage of that and picked up some really good games while that deal was on. Also just took advantage of this offer too though to fill in games i have been meaning to pick up and just haven't.
My backlog is too much as it is. I’m actually happy I didn’t catch that deal lol.
I played the demo on a regular 3DS and everything including items is distinguishable. Really hope online doesn't have severe lag like Brawl did in the past.
I'm not sure why anyone was worried. PSASBR worked really well on Vita. Why would Smash be any different?
I never dreamt of playing Smash on the toilet years back, but now we all can! =D It's going to be hard not taking my 3DS to work and sneaking some sessions in.
I've been waiting for this since the DS.

lol yeah right this cant be the same garbage i just played a few minutes ago, because its plagued with lag and slowdown.
