Dairantou Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS

About Dairantou Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS

Dairantou Smash Brothers is the Japanese name for the Nintendo 3DS entry in the famous fighting series, released in the west as Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS. Fighters from across Nintendo history, plus guests like Mega Man and Pac Man, meet on floating stages and try to launch each other off the screen. Instead of health bars, damage builds up as a percentage, and the higher it climbs, the farther a hit will send you flying.

The handheld version earned praise for how much it packs in. Smash Run is an exclusive mode where you race through a maze, beat enemies to earn stat boosts, then face your rivals in a final battle with your powered up fighter. Classic mode, trophy collecting and custom fighter moves give solo players plenty to chase. Local wireless and online matches keep the competition alive, and the controls feel sharp despite the smaller screen. Custom moves let you tune favorite fighters to your own style.

This one is easy to hunt down at a fair price. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, which ended new digital purchases for good. A physical cartridge is now the sensible way in, and used copies are common in game shops because the game sold in huge numbers. If you bought it digitally before the closure, you can still access your purchased games on your system.

It is still the handheld fighting game to beat.
