Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Just a quick reminder for you guys – the Super Smash Bros. 3DS demo is now live for all owners of Nintendo’s handheld. It was previously made available for select Club Nintendo members last week. Fans in North America needed to have reached Platinum Status within the previous year to be eligible.

Thanks to Edgarska for the tip.

As promised, Nintendo has released an update for the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. in Japan. Version 1.0.2 addresses issues with Peach’s down special while playing online. Additionally, the patch makes a few other unspecified improvements.

Nintendo announced today that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is now the 4th game in the 3DS library to ship over a million units in its first week in Japan, after Monster Hunter 4, Pokemon X/Y and Youkai Watch 2. This number includes digital copies and though the wording in the PR report was a little ambiguous as to units sold/shipped, we can assume the number of units sold was quite close to this figure.

Also, Conquest data where players seem to be losing on purpose will be removed from the calculations. And lastly, there’s no point in working on this mode too much on your own, so don’t overdo it…

Since launch, Super Smash Bros. 3DS players in Japan have been encountering issues with Peach online. Those who use the character’s “down + B” move early on in a For Glory match have been banned for 24 hours without warning.

Fortunately, Nintendo is already working on a patch. While it won’t be out for another week, we at least know that a fix is coming.
