First Impression: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

I was able to play Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS a couple of weeks before its official release. Because I was a Platinum Club Member, I was able to download the demo a week before everyone else. I had a lot of fun with the demo. The demo showed some promise. Now that I have been playing Super Smash Bros on the 3DS, I confidently confirm that I am in love with this game. It is an awesome handheld experience.

Having played PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale on the PlayStation Vita, I knew what to expect from an all out brawl on a small screen. That being said, I actually preferred PS All-Stars on the Vita over its PS3 counterpart. I don't know if that will be the case once the Wii U version of the game comes out, but I think I will love both of them equally. I just might enjoy it more on a bigger screen is all.

I had been wondering what it would be like to play as Zelda or Sheik since Nintendo chose to make them two characters instead of one. I was also intrigued by the decision to have Samus and Zero Suit Samus be their own characters as well. Much to my surprise, I have yet to play as Zelda or Samus as I have had a lot of fun playing as Sheik or Zero Suit Samus. So far, I think my favorite character in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is Zero Suit Samus.

That being said, I have also played as Link, Toon Link, Pikachu, and Mega Man. I still have a lot of characters to try out. Gameplay wise, I am impressed how well this game performs on the 3DS. I was worried that I wouldn't like using the Circle Pad, but I have slowly become accustomed to it. It takes some getting used to.

I plan to write a full review of the game some time this month. I will let you know via Twitter where I am at with the review. I want to play the game some more before I give my final verdict of the game. I do have some problems with the game, but again, I will save those concerns for the review.

Did you get Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS? Are you also planning to get the Wii U version of the game? Let me know in the comments section.
