Super Smash Bros. for 3DS


12th September 2014 – To make the wait for the launch of Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS on 3rd October easier, fans will be able to download a free demo for the all-star fighting game starting on 19th September from Nintendo eShop. As an added bonus, selected Club Nintendo members will receive an email containing four download codes for the demo today, a week earlier.

Qualifying Club Nintendo members will automatically receive four download codes via email. Nintendo encourages recipients to share their codes, as up to three other friends who also own Nintendo 3DS or 2DS systems can play multiplayer together through local wireless even if those three friends aren’t Club Nintendo members. The Club Nintendo demo of the game allows for unlimited play, and features the Smash mode with five playable characters (Mario, Villager, Link, Pikachu and Mega Man), one stage (Battlefield) and the ability to compete in local multiplayer matches with fellow Nintendo 3DS and 2DS owners who have downloaded the demo to their systems.

On 19th September, a demo version of the game will also launch on Nintendo eShop. This demo features the same content and features as the demo that select Club Nintendo members will receive one week earlier, however it can be played a maximum of 30 times.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS launches exclusively on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS on 3rd October at retail or digitally from Nintendo eShop. At launch, smash fans also have the choice to own the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Limited Edition Pack which is a red Nintendo 3DS XL system with a Super Smash Bros. motif on the front and the game pre-installed available while stocks last.

Please note the creation of an NNID is required in order to download demos from Nintendo eShop.

The Super Smash Bros. 3DS demo is coming to North America on September 19, Nintendo has announced. The news was shared during today’s Treehouse stream. Additionally, select Club Nintendo Platinum members will receive an email to obtain the demo today.

We’ll be putting any and all Smash Bros. 3DS videos in this centralized location today…

Update: Miiverse can be used when playing Smash Bros. on a New 3DS unit. It won’t work on regular 3DS models due to insufficient memory.


At the moment, there’s no Miiverse support for Super Smash Bros. 3DS. There’s simply no way of posting to Nintendo’s social network currently. Whether or not this will change in the future remains to be seen!

Super Smash Bros. 3DS is out now in Japan, and we’re hearing that the download is quite a bit less than originally anticipated. You’ll only need 9,320 blocks of free space (will likely vary slightly depending on region) in order to successfully download the game. That’s significantly less than the 17,300 blocks of space originally listed on Japanese packaging last month.

The Niconico stream for Smash Bros. 3DS is about to begin. It should go live at 6 AM ET / 3 AM PT. We can’t embed it, but you can watch it over on the actual website here.

It looks like retail version of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will require a day-1 patch adding an additional feature to the game. The patch adds a new mode to online play called Conquest mode, which occasionally will trigger during a game and adds additional weight to the result of said match. Winning will add points to a tally that certain characters, and at the end of a certain period those points will be tallied and players associated with the winning character receive a prize.

The 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. has a special mode called Smash Run. It does support local play, but the mode doesn’t work online.

That confirmation comes straight from Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. While Japanese magazine Famitsu recently indicated that Smash Run can be experienced over the Internet, Sakurai told one fan on Twitter that this was a mistake.
