Smash Bros. for 3DS Demo Now Out On eShop

[The Derrit]

For those Smashers still looking to get a glimpse of the latest installment of Smash, the demo of Smash Bros. for 3DS is now available on the Nintendo eShop. It includes Mario, Link, Pikachu, Villager and Mega Man, and a single stage, Battlefield.

Many people were able to get their hands on this demo last week when special Club Nintendo members received multiple demo codes to distribute between friends and family.

Have you already played the demo? What did you think? Make your voice heard in the comments below!

[Amiibo Doctor]

[Kaiju]

[firewingpegasus]

The code wars are over... or never end.

 

[Yodude57]

The demo is awesome! One of the fist people to download it

Wait until the Wii U version comes out

The code wars are over... or never end.

Wait until the Wii-U demo, there'll probably be one, at that point people will start selling their souls for demo codes.

 

[CryoGX]

A friend gave me one of the demo codes earlier; is the demo that just released still the "special" demo, or is it titled just "demo" now?

 

[WaterTails]

I'd imagine it's still the special demo. This one's limited to 30 uses. ;_;

War... War never changes...

Sitting at my desk until 4:30 and then have a 2 hour drive after work... THIS IS TORTURE!!!

 

[isoldmyname]

Victory? Victory, you say? Not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun this Code War has.

 

[SmashHole '82]

PikaDIE!!!
Oh, sorry....

 

[GangsterPuff]

I was one of the first to get it, and one of the first to get disappointed.

 

[Ceadda]

I"m going to rack up a hefty amount of coins before the full game releases. I hope it transfers.

 

[ShadyWolfe]

Loving it so far but if I had to nitpick the blast zones are too big and characters survive too long also no Wolf. The 3DS controls are way harder to defeat than the AI

That's disappointing, but understandable. It is only a demonstration after all.

ALL ABORD....the hype train!

 

[Scourge The Hedgehog]

I'm really feelin it

 

[The Slayer]

So far, it's pretty good. It plays nice with a four man setup and the items are interesting to use. Bit weird on the controls since I prefer L for shielding and R for grabbing (I would think my R like Z for Melee/Brawl, so it's weird being on the left) but will be remedy when the game comes out in two more weeks. Overall, can't wait for full version.

 

[grandpappy]

I'm at work and I'm so ready to leave now. Lemme get dat smash demo pls

 

[Xadrin]

Only two weeks until the full game releases! Only two long weeks.

Same for me. I like L for shielding more for some reason. Also gotta disable that tap jump...

Those of us getting Hyrule Warriors have it good for a while, today, Smash 3DS demo, next Friday, Hyrule Warriors, the Friday after that, the full version of Smash 3DS, hell you even got Bayonetta 2 coming a few weeks from then...Man Nintendo is really good at draining wallets.

 

[WinterShorts]

FIRST TO LIKE, AHA!

Um, anyway, yeah. The game is amazing (or at least the demo). Like I said in a recent post, this game feels more like it's own game than a brawl copy. Maybe it's because of the Turnaround Cancel or maybe how everyone looks, but for sure this is fun. Get this demo now if you haven't already!

10/10 wallet is already empty. I need to start a gofundme to afford Bayonetta.

Yes special. But it's invalid now

Lol I hear ya, at this point I $200 towards Hyrule Warriors, Smash 3DS and Smash Wii-U's GC controller adapter bundle, I'll be lucky if I could afford Bayonetta 2 before it comes out.

I got it. The game is great, it's really fast, I had no problem with the default controls, and I could see everything in the small 3DS screen (I have an OG 3DS). This is the handheld Smash Bros. I've been wanting for years.

 

[mattergamer47]

Yuss! I'm so Reggie. I regret not brining
My 3ds to school

 

[smileMasky]

Who? Pikachus? I think Pikachu's up-tilt combos a lot of the time, which of course feels nice?

 

[bkslider]

Been playing for the past week due to the genereosity of a friend, but I'm happy more people are getting a chance. I have put more time into this demo than I have on some full priced games.

 

[zeldasmash]

The demo is fantastic. Smash 4 feels like it's own thing and i like that. The characters are really good (Link and Mario are the standouts, those two are awesome) and the items are great (getting Ghirahim and Dark Samus in matches is never bad). I really enjoy this demo.

 

[MugenLord]

I gave my first impression of the demo

 

[Joshua Twilley]

I am never turning my 3ds off...
