3DS HOME themes were a popular arrival in a recent system update, and they continue to arrive in the Theme Shop on a regular basis. As is often the case, however, Japanese 3DS owners get a bit more content at a quicker pace; the Super Smash Bros. themes are an example, and Nintendo has now released videos of each to show what they'll have to offer.
As previously reported, these arrive in Nintendo's homeland on 8th November and will cost 200 Yen each; no Western release dates have been given yet, but we'd be amazed if they don't arrive worldwide. You can see them all below.
As a little bonus, we spotted a couple of additional themes on the official website that are out today in Japan. They'll cost 100 Yen each — the first appears to be related to Gunma no Yabou, while the second is clearly to celebrate the Cooking Mama franchise.
So there you have it; are any of these Super Smash Bros. themes particularly appealing now that you've seen them in action?

The last SSB one is phenomenal.
I'm gonna wait for more themes to come out. These SSB ones are fine, but I don't need an overload of them since I'm getting so much Smash related stuff later on.
I'm hoping these are announced in the Direct tonight
@Inkling That and it would be nice if they came out today as well after the direct.
That last smash theme and it's smash bros 64 character select screen theme <3
I like the ferocious designs, there is however one personal problem I have with the music of the theme. I have heard it so often that It started to invoke negative feelings toward the game, while it was used in the eshop I decided not to purchase something. I know that it is knit picking, but hey I don't like the music anymore.
The main problem I have with the themes is that they get boring very fast when you listen to them. The subtle 3ds theme music was designed to last in comparison with these tracks.
Why can't Little Mac ever be on the first page? It's the only page I use.
What about blue? I just bought a blue Super Smash Bros. 3DS XL and a blue theme would be great.
The second one is my favourite. I want fairly understated for a background theme, avoiding bright colour clashes that detract from the game icons and most importantly no music that's going to give me a heart attack if I open the 3DS first thing in the morning for some quiet Animal Crossing. The second is the only one that ticks both boxes.
Not really a fan of the tile one anymore, I have heard that result screen way too much and generally its the music you hear after everyone was done playing melee and nobody turned the system of, so it not like a bad memory but to stop playing smash for the day with your friends is always a little sad.
I like type 2 and type 3. Those ones look pretty cool.
I wish they would do seperate fighter themes from smash instead of all smash characters with the same music u can hear if u just play the game....Choosing a character theme would be a lot more personalized that way. Heck, it'd even be cool to incorporate your Mii fighter into a theme somehow.
@Specter_Twilight
Fantasy Life has been selling incredibly well, and it's already got a puzzle for Streetpass, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we got a theme or two out of it. If they do make a Fantasy Life theme, I'll be buying it even quicker than I got the Animal Crossing one.
These themes look very nice!
The cooking mama theme looks amazing! I'd love to have it.
Still waiting on that Skyward Sword theme from the other day. Fantasy Life would be amazing as well..
These themes really should be free, Nintendo, or at least bundled together with several different themes for the kind of money you're charging for a simple background image.
@Captain_Gonru I agree. I'm not really sure why Nintendo is charging for this feature. As far as I know you can change the background for free on every other system (except for Wii U and 3DS). You can also make the background anything you want.
Still wish they'd make more themes besides the mushroom one that use the Toad House music, it's the perfect menu music!
I'm going to get the first Super Smash Bros 3DS theme type 1
I'm surprised at how bland those theme are compared to the Zelda or Mario ones...
I love the smash theme type 3. I just love the way it looks.
i like the last smash one b/c it shows the most characters, but i agree that the music will get repetitive. would rather have the music from #2.
