Topic: Super Smash Bros. 3DS "Will Not" Support Circle Pad Pro.

Yeah I know but still it kind of annoys me that Nintendo is not thinking ..... I bet in the next few months after the console is released in Japan or the West ... More games that is made will Need the CPU and the "C" button... That's what I'm trying to get at here.....Its not the first time I said something here on this website..and it came out to be true later on...I'm just saying

Welcome to the world of handheld gaming.

No you said it wrong — "Welcome To The World Of Nintendo" — A Place where nothing makes sense.

No, handheld gaming, Sony does it too with handheld revisions/upgrades.

ANDDDDD I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!! ---- That's all I'm going to say about this....

Well you aren't good at predicting your own behaviors, guess we've learned that much.

See Nintendo doesn't clearly think that the 40+ million owners who recently bought a 3DS XL (They don't sell the older ones) — Now have to fork up the extra money to buy one..cause a lot of 3rd-parties will use this extra CPU power and the extra buttons to there advantage....So yet again "Welcome to the world of Nintendo" — Where nothing makes sense..

I guess not

It's just used for quick access to smash attacks in smash bros. The game is perfectly playable without it.

Thank you Nintendo for giving Japan an unfair advantage until 2015, that will do wonders for the online community.

Everyone, HIDE YOUR CHILDREN AND WIVES! THE CIRCLE PAD MINI IS COMING! ONLY IN JAPAN

The worst thing about this is we don't know when in 2015 the New 3DS will release in the west. For all we know it could be holiday 2015.

Not really a Smash Bros fan, but what a cheap trick to make the new handhelds more appealing.

I don't think many 3rd parties will make new 3DS exclusives as they'll sell less, but Nintendo will want to push those hardware sales anyway they can.

@Scanning Waaaait wait wait wait back up. Are you seriously trying to imply that the jump in graphics from the DS to the 3DS wasn't that big?! Seriously?!

This is super weird. As I had assumed the New 3DS's C-Stick would just use the hardware pathways the Circle Pad pro was already using. Making all C-Stick supported games backward compatable with the Circle Pad Pro.

It doesn't make a lot of sense WHY it wouldn't. Unless they completely changed the control pathway architecture.

"An extra feature that would have made sense to include!? I don't need that personally, so this is good news somehow."

Gotta love the fanboys rationalising everything Nintendo does as the best decision. If Smash supports the ZL/ZR and Second Stick controls on the new 3DS then there is no good reason not to allow people to use the CPP.

I can rationalize it because I never wanted a second circle pad to begin with. That doesn't make me a fanboy as you say. I just could care less so stop making stupid comments like that.

I could*n't* care less. Sorry; pet peeve.

I'm not buying Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U and I don't own a CPP either; that doesn't mean I wont call out Nintendo when they've ignored the fans who did. You might not want to use the CPP, so it doesn't affect you, and that's fine - but commenting saying that the issue is unimportant simply because it doesn't affect you is fairly closed minded (An issue that's present a little too much whenever Nintendo does something silly).

Nintendo made this peripheral to make up for the fact that the original designs didn't have these extra buttons. Now when games actually use the new buttons on a new console, the peripheral cant be used. It makes no sense. They might just be tempting people to buy the new models, but that's some pretty shady business practice.

I don't really care to rationalize it because I no longer have a CPP.
