a millie already O_o
makes sense since japans switched to portable..

[Summons75]

Not just that but Smash is one of the biggest games of the year. Except this when it hits the rest of the world too, expect more when SmashU comes out.

[Magicite]

biggest game of the year? in which category?

[3-4-5]

In the Category of Awesome Games.

Pro tip for your small screen issues in Smash:
Before the match announcer finishes his countdown, reach down and tap your portrait on the touch screen.
Doing so will place an easily-noticeable targeting outline that glows red around your character.
Should help you find yourself when the match gets hectic.^_-

It will sell that many if not more in the same amount of time if not sooner when it releases on Wii U as well. Combined Smash Bros 3DS and U have the potential of outselling all other games this year. I know of a lot of people waiting to buy a Wii U when it comes out. Aldo know sone folks that are going to get Mario Kart at the same time so look for that game to get a boost this holiday season too.

My hands cramp up at the thought of trying to play smash on a 3ds lol

[Dudebro90]

It actually controls way better than you would expect.

[slate91]

I actually believe you. This is Nintendo we are talking about after all lol

[Summons75]

It takes a loooong time to get use too though. I'm getting 3ds smash but Smash U will be far superior. The chaotic battle and a small screen just do not mix well together, half my deaths are more getting confused when the camera constantly pans way far out.

[EliteGameKnight]

It actually works pretty well, I got the early demo access and I'm loving it!

[LAWSON72]

Play it on 2ds it is extremely comfortable.

[jaymart2k]

is it worth at least buying a 2ds now? I can get one for $99 at Gamestop , plan on getting new 3ds next year,

[sdlxxx1]

Sure is. Especially if you plan on upgrading to a New 3DS.

[ZeekQuattro]

Go for it. I'd be shocked if they didn't have some sort of trade in deal for when the New 3DS comes out.

[MSBAUSTX]

I will definitely be trading my 3DS XL in for the New 3DS when it comes out. There is no doubt about that. Mainly to play the new Monster Hunter on.

Peach is gonna be maaaAaaad.
