About The Game
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is the first portable entry in the renowned series, in which game worlds collide.
Up to four players battle each other locally or online using some of Nintendo’s most well-known and iconic characters across beautifully designed stages inspired by classic portable Nintendo games. It’s a genuine, massive Super Smash Bros. experience that’s available to play on the go, anytime, anywhere.
- Smash and crash through “Smash Run” mode, a new mode exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version that gives up to four players five minutes to fight solo through a huge battlefield while taking down recognisable enemies from almost every major Nintendo franchise and multiple third-party partners. Defeated enemies leave behind power-ups to collect. Players who collect more power-ups have an advantage once time runs out and the battle with opponents begins.
- Compete with classic characters from the Super Smash Bros. series like Mario, Link, Samus and Pikachu, along with new challengers like Mega Man, Little Mac and newly announced Palutena, the Goddess of Light from the Kid Icarus games. For the first time players can even compete as their own Mii characters.
- Customise different aspects of your character when playing locally or online with friends in a variety of multiplayer modes.
- View most elements of the high-energy action at silky-smooth 60 frames per second and in eye-popping stereoscopic 3D.
- Fight against friends and family locally or online, or battle random challengers all over the world online in “For Fun” or “For Glory” modes.

If this doesn't come out during winter or summer break, I'm going to fail whatever semester I'm in.
I WANT KINGDOM HERATS CHARACTERS!!!! SORA RIKU AND ROXAS/XION
The only reason why we want e3
Yea, this game will be cool.
I want them to have Skull Kid from Majora's Mask.
It would also be cool if they had Young link, except he could transform into his other mask forms from Majora's Mask.
Oh wow, i remember playing this on Nintendo 64
I want Galacta Knight to be included.
Not all that excited about a 3DS but w/e, I'm still gonna buy
it lol.
Can't Wait
i hope silver the hedgehog,mighty the armadillo,zeckrom,and Spyro are in the 3ds version. MOSTLY SILVER THE HEDGOHOG (favorite video game character)
i bet its online play its gonna be my favorite video game.E3 says it releases 2013 holiday or between 2014
I am REALLY waiting for this awesome game!!
the graphics suck compared to the wii U version
@josephgee, Not really. Just the outlining is what fractured the game a little. If there's an option that can remove the outlining, that'd make my day.
I prefer the style of this version.
mine mine mine mine MINE MINE MINE MINE!
I hope for:
1. An awesome full-motion intro like in melee.
2. An awesome fighting team.
3. Golden sun!!!!
At the convention right after the release date they should have a wii set up and say anyone who could beat tabuu on insane difficulty gets a free 3ds Super smash bros.
I have an idea for SSB4 on 3DS. There should be an option that allows you to view things relative to your character.
freakin sonic!!! damn nintendo you need to put me in!!!
Sonic is prob going to be in this one. Nintendo only recently got their relationship with SEGA. Don't worry I'm 86.442865% certain sonic will make the 3ds roster.
marth!marth!marth!marth!
@flamerunner Marth might appear due to him being in the SSB4 whiteboard.
P.S. Mr. Game & Watch! Mr. Game & Watch!
@adrian123 Well, yes, maybe because you are going from an HD console to a handheld? Of course they aren't gonna be as good.
@Trippinator
Yea but honestly I don't really care about the graphics as long as its not like... pixilated... the most important part is the gameplay.
@flamerunner
I love marth, his counter move is awesome to use and I love his dancing blade special its all color coded and cool.
I prefer the Cel shading to the art style of the Wii U version :/
@MrMario02
I totally agree with your options. I would like to put more focus on the number 3 option as other people already want the other 2 options Isaac for Golden Sun in Smash Bros.!
@josephgee YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS SOMTHING ABOUT THAT!
@Mascarpino Omg excatly what I was thinking
I want Roy back
In my recommendations to adds from classics to new characters here's my list: classics: Yoshi,Marth,Meta knight(balance),Luigi,Zelda,Captain Falcon,King Dedede,Diddi Kong,Ness,Ice Climbers.(10) newcomers:Chrom,Lyn,Palutena,Magnus,Shulk,Krystal,Mewtwo old/new, Bowser jr., Rosalina,Ghirarim or Demise,Mii,Little Mac, King K. Rool, if metroid would add one i would say dark samus since it can have different movesets than samus has long both don't have same attack it wont count has clones(14) I keep hearing rumors between Sonic and Bayonetta of an idea on being on the game im not sure if their in but ill id prefer Bayonetta since there not alot of females in the game and her movesets will make her different and also since she's been revived by Nintendo maybe smash could hopefully got an idea to make her a chance to adding her to the roster. in my total of 13 that are announce plus the classics i said are 10 and added of newcomers are 14 and if the rumor is true about bringing sonic or adding bayonetta its 1+ soo that makes a roster of 38 characters which depends if the game would have dlc hopefully if its free.
2014 is gonna be a big year.
@Inflame227
Understatement.
@SkywardLink98 i cannot agree more wii u for me
I wonder what this price is going to be.
@Buzkeel the price is 49 for 3ds and 59 for wii u
NINTENDO, GIVE US A NEW TRAILER!
The fact tha mega man and villager are in, make me happy! The fact that wii fit trainer is in makes me wanna fart a wii u and then smash it on the ground....
Lucus and Ike from brawl would be nice those are my two mains(characters I use a lot on brawl)
i have head many suggestions from people in my life such as Glover, Goku, and yes even the great sword hunter from mh3u. i would like to see a return with the assist trophies and a few things inspired by capcom and nintendo game such as mh3u. but one true thing, and i beg of you sakurai, the one and only thing that any sane, i repeat, SANE (fricken people asking for people not even from nintendo. fricken master chief) ssb lover really wants is a custom created character with the ability to be set up with any thing from any character in the ssb series. that is what we truely want. complete customixation of every action the charater can do. and custom entrance. if you can find it in your heart to grant us this one dire wish, we will be eternally greatful. Gratias vobis Sakurai tempore. ego quam vos can utor in nostrum auxilium petant: hoc enim unum vel maxime cupere rei.
@X500mph Amen
Want it. Need it. Have to have it.
But also, I'm hoping Sonic is re-invited... Hopefully with more Sonic characters this time but I guess I'm mostly hoping he wasn't forgotten this round.
i am RIDICULOUSLY pumped for this game mainly cause i don't have a Wii u and the first thing i thought when i thought about SSB 4 was: aw crud i don't have a Wii u. finally HAL listens! i am worried that they might hinder the 3ds version in some way so that people will still die for the Wii u version. what if you could be your mii for a character?
IM going to get the 3ds version
IM going to get the 3ds version and the Wii U version day 1
@Trippinator your right
I'm so getting this. I've never owned a Smash Bros. title in the past, so I'm really looking forward to this! If Nintendo makes 3,000 delays like with FNS3D, I'm gonna be really mad.
@adrian123 : The graphics are awesome..you sound crazy.. You got to appreciate the work they put into that game, and the gameplay looks like its going to be veeery smooth
This might sound sadistic, but if I were Nintendo, I'd delay the 3DS version 2 weeks or so. Let's face it. The Wii U needs this game more.
I hope they add, Mii caharacter, a new Sonic character like Tails, Shadow, or Knuckles, and Rosalina:)
One of my most anticipated titles for the 3DS. Finally, i'll be able to play a SSB title on the go! April can't come soon enough!
@josephgee kingdom hearts will never make it into ssb. Sry.
I want spyro, pacman, or maxwell (scribblenauts) next. Maby steve from mc but i highly dought hell make it
I want to get this game but not sure whether to get it on wii u or on 3ds. I need more funds... Which one do you guys want to get? considering we are on the 3ds versions site i'm guessing most of you are going to say 3ds.
i can't wait to get this game i have played most of the super smash bros games and loved them all.
@Benjelo getting it on 3ds
I wanna see more animal crossing people. I wanna play as tom nook.
I wanna see more animal crossing people. I wanna play as tom nook.
Is Pokemon Trainer gonna be in this game?
Finally an official SSB game on a handheld.
cannot wait to get this on the 3ds!!
they are adding the wii fit trainer and the villager!!!!!
@NintendoPro64 yeah the 3ds is doing all right but the Wii U is falling behind.
I'm in a state now that I would love to be in a coma till the E3 arives
I'm honestly so disappointed that it is only going to come out in October. I leave oversees and literally ZERO video games come out there. I am in the States all summer and was really looking forward to picking it up and literally playing the hell out of it. October is not summer but at least I can get it on christmas. #firstworldproblems
October 3rd? Sakurai! You told me it will come out in summer! Oh well, at it's closer to my birthday now.
@Ibrahim77X
I know right! I'm upset about that, but the effort they're putting is TREMENDOUSLY amazing. Also, Japan gets it Sept. 13!!! Luck for them while we wait 20 more days I may not make it with my hype.
Can someone please tell me if there is going to be a custom color or design job for the 3DS when it comes out? I'm thinking about buying 4 for my friends who have played since the First One. :/
@TantXL The new smash for ads removed any kind of character switching, so pokemon trainer got kicked. However, Charizard will stay and they are going to add a new pokemon too.
i have a new opponent.
this dude.. the R.C. Pro AM!!!! classic nintendo game with potential for cool RC cars to appear
@TheSwagMaster98 lol So true XD
Gonna play this off at GameStop tomorrow, so worth it!
Is anyone kind enough to give me a super smash bros. brawl 3ds north america download code for the demo. I would really really appreciate it. My email is [email protected] . Please and thank you
@Jacknoir12 You didn't realize the demo is out to the public.
pls i want a us code my email [email protected] and thank you if you gave me one. my friend code is 2165-7012-3857 give me your friend code too
It's neat, but we typically frown upon posts that take up a lot of space -Lz
@Chrisfly798 no
This is the best game ever!
I love this game.
WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT ROY IN!?!?!?
I do love this game, but I wish Roy was in it. Also, squirtle and ivysaur along with Mewtwo? Just a thought. Game & Watch could be taken out along with ROB?
What do you think about Kamek in the series?
But why are the Ice Climbers gone? I hope for an update for them.
I'm all excited because you now can take Super Smash Bros. to vacation if you're bored, just have your 3DS with you!
Did you know when you vs 3 dr.mario as villiger and the yell out the name nana and popo? or whatever the boys name was.
Plus YAY MEWTWO IS BACK!!! but next time do a update that has young link and roy. PLZ DO THAT IM BEGING YOU.
This is proper ergent!
You know the join nintendo club code you get when you buy a game . I accidently threw all mine away and i need one . Plz can someone send me a code
comon plz make a update that has roy more maps and stuff. how come the wii u version has to be better. make the update like thats equal to the wii u version.
I love this game and I can't wait to be mewtwo like in melee
i hope in the update master fortress is there and other new gamemodes and is like wii u version and with more stages... PLEASE DO THAT D;
@Prof3ssorMGW Also no sp story That is lazy for a fighter and consedring alot of play is away from a internet conniction so i will pass , look at injustice wowo that game is amazing so much stuff and the sp story is huge and epic then you still have all the other modes to boot and thats what all fighters need because on a handheld this will be boring fast with out it.
@Hucho i know I am a little late on this conversation but ice climbers can't be in the 3ds version because the controls wouldn't work. That's why we have duck hunt dog
@26EvaWeb wow to answer this now when the game is already release. Anyways the ice climber news just notice when sakurai mentioned like before the cameout you could have ignore my question. xD
I want to no why nintendo din't put Rayman on, his moves are already maked if someone of you can talk with nintendo say that
Look to this to see:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sW7ZWMvHVg
Honestly I prefer the wii u one but the reason I have this copy is the fact that I don't own a wii u
I love this game I main lucina and Pit and robin
my fc is 5172-6620-7878 username ahyma_chou i have this game add me and we can play
i play this game sometimes
I was awe struck to hear that Super Smash Bros was now coming to your own 3DS, so you knew I had to get this game.
Although I would not get the Wii U version for a long time, this game was very much enjoyable even without the story mode. While I do like the sort of Board Game style the Wii U has, I also enjoy the Smash Run where it puts you in a big map and you go around destroying enemies to gain stats. I also had a kick (pun unintended) inserting my Miis into the fray, it was just so enjoyable.
Although the 3DS and Wii U versions would have its Pros and Cons, and advantages over one another. I would say this was a good installment to the Smash Series
