Same. 3DS version is nothing but a small fix to hold me over until the WiiU version releases.

So how many people will be skipping the 3DS version?
I'm not really happy with the controls or the local play lag, so I think I'll just skip it and wait for the Wii U version.
One day when it's on sale, I'll probably get it. Just not at launch.

I would have bought it regardless.
However I won't be investing much time into it aside from getting all the characters and playing with friends online. For me it really is just a stop gap before the WiiU.
I'll buy it, but the decline in playtime will be DRASTIC once the WiiU version releases.

The novelty of having Smash on handheld is too appealing to me, especially as someone who travels a lot.
I don't mind the controls.

Yeah, I was on the side of "both games are great", but the reviews tell a different story. Right now Smash 3DS is a portable fix until the Wii U version comes out. I will still be playing the 3DS version while away from home though. The novelty of a portable Smash is still neat.

The scariest part to me is when she is away from the bed.. starts shaking, then runs to the bed with tge quickness. I get startled watching that gif over and over.
Jesus christ just let him have that opinion will ya? my god
I know I'm skipping it since I rarely if ever double dip on a game. I've got a lot of DS/3DS backlog I could spend the money and time on for in lieu of Smash 3DS, and since I'll be buying Smash Wii U I don't see any reason to pick it up for the 3DS.
That plus the demo didn't feel "right" to me with the controls. I played it for a decent while, but I'm still not really feeling it.

Sure, if you're into hand cramps, worse controls, no multiplayer on one TV, etc.
Don't get me wrong, the 3DS version will be great and I will play it plenty of hours. But let's not pretend it will be anywhere as good as the WiiU one.
I'm sure I'll have lots of fun with the 3DS version, but Local Multiplayer requiring one console+game per person alone make it the inferior version to me.
That's without mentioning graphics, sound, animation, controls etc.

My biggest issue so far with the 3DS version is the lack of content. The absence of Event Mode is pretty glaring, nevermind Target Mode. Smash Run looks really boring, but I need to try it first I guess.
At least Classic Mode looks better than Brawl's.

Uh...interesting pic...Smash Run is better than I expected and is probably the best way to get custom items. I can see people not liking it at all though.

I am. I played the demo but couldn't get into it.
I'd much rather play the game on my tv with a GC controller.
I only play my 3DS at home so portability doesn't matter to me.

I'll be skipping it, but that was the plan all along.
I suppose I'll have to get it if you get exclusive characters for owning both versions (ugh) but I won't have the money for that til next year.

Yeah, it is the same issue I had with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 when it came out because it barely had any modes. Smash 3DS at least has more modes than MvC3, but still feels barren. It is also my main issue with MK8 because now only having a Race Mode makes it feel more empty.

Someone had made it for the Mario Kart DLC.
Why they decided on this I don't know.

If shopto ship today and I'm reeeeally lucky then hopefully I can play tomorrow. I'm so excited, but still waiting on a Wii U date to be confirmed
Saw this while happening to listening to doctor mario's theme. It fits so well....

But it is pretty much race mode with balloons. It is not the Battle Mode I used to know!

The best kind of DLC available.

For those who aren't familiar with the source of Forkball's quotes. It's a classic.

Picking up 3DS Smash since I don't actually have a WiiU yet.

Smash Run is great, but it's still faster to get custom items by playing classic mode, with the home menu trick.
Good times, man, good times.

Don't question these things, just embrace them.
It's already out in some places like Saturn in Köln. People on twitter have reported buying the game, so try your luck.
what is that?

I'm in much the same boat. When I'm away from home, I'm busy. Also GCN controller is the best.
That is a delightful icon you have there. Who is it?
Abuse the slowdown introduced by repeatedly switching to the Home Menu to get Custom Items in the Slot Machine every single time.

So here's a riddle for you, SmashGAF, since the 3DS' international launch is imminent:
Who will be the first secret veteran to be revealed in the PotD, and who will be the first secret newcomer?
Who will be the first secret veteran to be revealed in the PotD, and who will be the first secret newcomer?
First secret veteran will be Falco. Or is it Ness? One of those is definitely first.
First secret newcomer? There's only four options I think... I'm gonna go with Dark Pit.
Hey now.
Hey now.
Darn it Captain Falcon, we know you want to "show us your crotch!".

So this is how SmashGAF burns down in the last week. Interesting.
I didn't know I wanted them until now.
That makes a surprising amount of sense. I don't recall anyone suggesting it at any point after the first set of leaks - perhaps that's why none of us work for the Treehouse.
