First Impressions: Smash Bros. 3DS Demo

So, the Smash Bros. 3DS demo is finally here; the general public's first taste of Smash 4. What do I think of it? It's really good. I was worried about playing Smash on a small screen, but it plays really well. It's smooth and it's fast; the fighters move at a constant 60 FPS. The controls are perfect; every action is mapped to the right button. I had a little difficulty pulling off smash attacks at first, but I've got it down no.

Overall, it's a ton of fun, and SSB4 could be the best Smash yet, based on the demo.

 

As for the two new characters that are playable, Villager and Mega Man, I enjoy. They both have very unique playstyles, especially the Villager. Mega Man really does feel like Mega Man; a lot of care and detail was put in to him, I feel. Villager, as I said, is a very different sort of character; I haven't played as him much, (most of my playtime has gone to Mario, Mega Man, and Link) but I definitely got that vibe. He takes a lot of strategy to pull off, I think.

 

It looks great, especially for the 3DS. The fact that there's little to no slowdown is especially impressive.

 

To conclude, the Smash Bros. 3DS demo is very good, and it's exciting taste of what's coming on October 3rd. Expect a review of the full game next month! Thanks for reading! ^-^

For whatever reason, I couldn't get used to the controls on the 3DS. Think im going to wait for the WiiU release.

 

Other than that, I'm looking forward to the next Smash

Considering yours and Geek0zoid's, I may just pick it up for both the 3ds and the Wii U this holiday season. Nice job.

I had a lot of fun when I got the homerun bat. :P

 

I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm probably going to wait for the wii U version. I think my hands would get a bit cramped playing it on the 3DS for too long. It happened in kid icarus so I predict something similar.

I have to agree with basically all of what you said, while at first it was weird playing on a smaller screen(especially since I have a regular 3DS.) and the controls were a bit odd at first, after some time I've got use to it, and now i'm pretty excited! Everything runs nice and smooth, and i'm pretty pumped for the full game now :).

I've played the demo myself and I'll admit it is tons of fun!

 

I'll be getting the 3DS version (I think) but I still remain hyped the most for the console release. That'll be the best version.

I have also played the demo and I have really enjoyed it so far.

Although most of my game time has been played with goggled pikachu.

Can't wait for the official release to begin playing as Kirby and Meta Knight.
