Nintendo has announced a special national tournament for the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. in celebration of the game’s launch. On October 4, 15 GameStop stores around the country – including the Nintendo World store in New York – will host local tournaments featuring three rounds of four-player battles.

Participants will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis with no pre-registration required. Each local tournament will be comprised of 64 players. Participants can (but are not required to) bring their 3DS system and/or copy of Smash Bros.

Rumor: Smash Bros. 3DS ROM dump hints at stage DLC

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 8 Comments

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS could be getting downloadable content – at least for stages – if a recent discovery is anything to go by.

Check out the following text that was found in the game’s ROM dump:

Set the stages that won’t appear, even when selection is set to random.
All Off
All On
Turn all stages off.
Make all stages available when using random stage selection.
See stages you have downloaded.
See all regular stages.
Select OFF to exclude this stage from random stage selection.
Select ON to include this stage in random stage selection.

Fans are saying that this matches the stage selection in additional rules perfectly. You’ll also see the missing square in the image above, which is just like in the stage selection screen. There’s speculation that this is where you’ll be able to select DLC.

The signs are certainly there, but if/when Nintendo confirms DLC for Smash Bros. remains to be seen.

Ice Climbers chant discovered through Smash Bros. 3DS glitch?

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments

The Ice Climbers are not included on the final roster for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS/Wii U. However, there does appear to be some last remnant of them in the 3DS version.

A glitch has been discovered in the Japanese release that results in a “Nana, Popo” chant. This can be heard by playing as Villager and defeating at least two Dr. Marios at once with 100% damage.

For what it’s worth, it doesn’t look like the glitch can be replicated in the US version of the game.
