In its list of Japanese software that supports the Circle Pad Pro (Slide Pad Expansion) on the Nintendo 3DS/3DS XL (3DS LL), Nintendo cautions that Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS will not support the accessory. The same document notes that the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL do not support the Circle Pad Pro, but added that the new systems' C stick and ZL/ZR buttons provide similar functionality built-in.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS will debut in Japan on September 13, followed by North America and Europe on October 3.

Before all the "lol Nintendo stickin' it to Gateway" conspiracy theories, I truly believe this is just a money grab.

It could likely be reasoned that this is because the CPP covers & uses the IR port and therefore will be incompatible with the Amiibo stand, which will be used in some way in Smash Bros. 3DS, but Amiibos are usually not something you'll be taking out on-the-go anyway -- and on-the-go gaming is pretty much what handheld gaming consoles are meant for. Thoughts?

Welp, looks like everyone that buys a New 3DS will have a distinct aerial-game advantage.

And people like me get left in the dust.

Daily reminder that this wouldn't be an issue if Nintendo didn't push shitty fucking Skylanders rip offs.

NINTENDO IS THE SAVIOR OF GAMING.


''I AM A BROKEN RECORD'' :P

But yeah, this is a pretty nasty decision by Nintendo... I mean, what reason could they possibly have other than ''MOAR MONEH''? : /

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID

    @SylverReZ, and thus that would make me non binary since i feel like a blend of both male and female
