Super Smash Bros. for 3DS Available on the Japanese eShop

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Japanese 3DS owners rejoice! There has just been a confirmation that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is now available for download on the Japanese eShop! The game is due out in Japan on September 13th, but this is a nice treat for everyone - the downloadable version has been released one and a half hours prior to 12:00 JST.

​

The exact release time for the full game was in dispute with some saying 12 AM on the 13th and others even saying 10 am on the 13th. It's great that the game is now available to download on the Japanese eShop - many community figures are downloading it as we speak, ready to stream the game.

Many Smashboards members will be streaming the game as well, so please check some of them out! Make sure to check out Zipzo and Relax Alax's playthrough stream here! And as always for up to date information on Smash for 3DS, please go visit the Japanese Release Smash 3DS Information Thread and the Japanese Release Smash 3DS Information Discussion Thread.

Let the hype begin!

It's happening! It is finally here! Share in the hype by following Venus @VenustoBloom.

[Master Peach]

It begins...

GanonFist Beat me to it lol

 

[Fire Tactician]

Don't let everyone know- it'll slow down my download speed!
Just kidding (kinda), the more Smashers the better!

 

[~Burst~]

It began 2 days ago Kappa

 

[Firelucario]

Open the floodgates!

Rest in peace? More like information-overload-action!

 

[YamiKitsune]

That was leaks though. This is the official download for everybody. Not to mention the streams and information will be on hand for Smashboards users...not just on Twitch.

 

[Aguki90]

Now this is CRASHBOARDS!!!

 

[Dims]

So now Sakurai is patching the No Hype Three Bug, right? Now that the game is out!? Right guys!?

 

[x-Ace-x]

It's weird. Where are all the famous streamers.
I mean the pro players? Could they have been invited by Nintendo for the TreeHouse? It's really weird.

 

[Ganonthegreat]

Hopefully we'll be able to figure out who's in the running for DLC by means of the trophies. So far from what I've seen Ridley, Mewtwo, K. Rool and Issac are all notably absent in the trophy department.

 

[ahannoush4]

my download is at about 20% and I'm running off of my iPhone's hotspot! not bad #desperate

 

[BobEugCox]

Ugh... this is difficult to be happy about for those of us with only American 3DS's. (Or at least me...) Call me bitter if you will but I can hardly stand the thought of not being able to play this game whilst others enjoy the game and LAUGH AT MY PAIN!!

(Okay, I know I'm being melodramatic... but still.)

 

[SleezyWeezel]

Nice, I might be around to watch the streams later.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

To all Japanese players who plan to use Rosalina, my complete coverage thread for her is open for contributions. Feel free to bring up your findings there at any time.

I completely agree, now i really want a Japanese 3DS so this never happens again.

 

[Newt Floss]

Zipzo's stream is meh.

 

[FalconFire93]

He's streaming right now, actually

Was a Custom Robo that was a Ray Model found as a trophy yet? He (Ray Mk III) was removed as an Assist Trophy.

 

[Aninymouse]

Keep in mind, Sakurai said some items and assist trophies are version-exclusive!

 

[LIQUID12A]

Jealous Westerns are jealous.

I am jealous

[BobEugCox]

I automatically heard your laughter in Wario's voice. :-)

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

We better get a demo in the US today after the pointless Treehouse thing, I'll hurt someone otherwise.

 

[Modular Zeal]

Agreed, except I'm Brawling

 

[Boss N]

I can do nothing but softly cry to myself with my ameican 3DS T_T

But could this mean the American download will be early as well?

 

[Trickerhere]

Woot our NA demo comes September 19th

 

[Joshua Twilley]

And so Smash 4 begins.

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

Wow, only Platinum members get it early while the rest wait till next Friday? That's so stupid, especially when it counts your current status and not the status before the anniversary thing, which always gets reset after.

What are you referring to?

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

What are you referring to?

Platinum Club Nintendo members (from this year, after the reset, not last year) are the only ones that get the 3DS Smash demo today via download codes sent to their e-mails, while people that don't get Platinum IN HARDLY TWO MONTHS have to wait till next Friday.

It's honestly plain stupid, I don't see what's keeping them from giving everyone the demo at the same time. Japan didn't get this bs, why should we?
