Different country versions of IGN get to give different scores?

Yepp, i suppose so lol

Anyways, for you 3DS people.  Did anybody get Smash Bros today?  If so how is it?  IM still waiting on the WiiU version but im curious on how the 3DS version is

I downloaded it at midnight, but haven't been able to spend much time playing it yet. Too many exams this weekend -_-

I played a bit of Smash Run though, and the gameplay seems to have transitioned pretty well to the 3DS. I didn't really think the controls were uncomfortable or anything, but I have an XL. The graphics are pretty decent in motion too, which is pretty much the case with most 3DS games. Single frame screenshots always look like ass. There's so many different color options for each of the characters too, which is nice. 

Didn't play any online matches yet though, so I can't comment on how well it runs.

Its pretty much confirmed that it'll release November 21. There's been way too many retailer leaks of that same date for it to be just a coincidence xD

Nintendo still needs to confirm it though. I wouldn't be surprised if they were waiting until the 3DS version released in all regions to say anything about it, so I'm sure we'll hear something from them soon.

My only concern is how is the controls on 3ds.

@Shika the only thing i use gamepad for is basically remote play. Im not a big fan of the gamepad personally. Ill prob be picking up a pro controller when SB4 comes out

Don't mean to go into seller mode, but if you live in NA you can get a Deluxe Wii U Refurbished from Nintendo's online site for $200. From what I've heard from others who bought theirs that way, they look pretty much brand new. 

As for Star Fox I feel like most of the Wii U games that use the GamePad, it will probably allow you to use a traditional control scheme if you wanted. I'd like to say Miyamoto confirmed it, but I don't have a link to post right now xD

Wii U Pro controller is pretty excellent though, its become my new favorite controller for games (just slightly edging out the Xbox 360 controller). I only need to charge the thing every 2 months or so, the battery life is super long. I can even use it on PC using a special dongle that allows it to be recognized as a Xbox 360 controller. Only thing its missing are analog triggers, but I don't play enough games that make good use of them for it to be a big deal to me.

Yup, the one they sell refurb is the black 32gb model :)

Unfortunately it seems like their online store's site is down though, otherwise I'd just give you a direct link.

Fanatec products on Xbox One

Landshut, Germany – 3.10.2014 – This is the announcement many people have been waiting for and we are happy to announce that Endor AG (the company behind the brand Fanatec) and Microsoft Corp. have closed a license agreement to make racing peripherals for the Xbox One. 
Fanatec plans to release a broad line up of racing wheels which will fit all kind of racing styles and different budgets.
Xbox One brings the latest in innovation and power to the development of racing peripherals giving fans of Fanatec products the opportunity to play the newest Xbox One titles with full support and integration. 
Available soon, fans will be able to enable Xbox One compatibility on their current Fanatec wheels by simply attaching them to a Fanatec wheel base, making their whole system compatible to Xbox One. Additional details and features will be announced soon.
Additional Fanatec peripherals like pedals, shifters or handbrakes that were purchased with an Xbox 360 will also be compatible with Xbox One. The modular configuration system in the Fanatec webshop allows you to purchase only the components you need.

Thomas Jackermeier, CEO of Endor/Fanatec: “I am very excited to announce this partnership as we have been working with Microsoft behind the scenes on new and exciting products. Xbox One and “Forza Motorsport” will continue to be a landmark of ultra-realistic racing simulations on any gaming console and we look forward to bringing this realism to a whole new level for our fans.”

i hoped for a damn dongle.

but just a new base needed exclusing wheel and pedals is okay, too (hope it doesnt cost 500 bucks, lol)

I'll probably get the 3DS version of Smash when I get the New 3DS next year, I don't see much point in buying a 3DS this year when the new model is likely coming out in Q1 next year. I enjoyed the Smash demo on a friend's 3DS, so I definitely want to play it. Not sure when I'll get the Wii U version of Smash, because I'm not sure when I'll get a Wii U. I really don't feel like I can justify buying a Wii U at $300 when there are only a few exclusives that I want to play on it as of now, and it doesn't seem likely that Nintendo will be dropping the price this year. I honestly wish they'd unbundle the gamepad and sell it with the Pro controller instead, it'd shave $50-75 off the Wii U's price and I honestly don't see myself using the gamepad all that much. I'd lose the ability to play Star Fox U, but that's a fairly small sacrifice to save $50-75 off the console's price imo. And if the rumors about the New 3DS functioning as a Wii U gamepad are true, I could still play Star Fox U. 

Nintendo sells them for 200 used on their site. I imagine they get profit off of it if your worrying about the used part



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

If I bought the Kit play and charge, does the xbox one pad act like a ds3/4 ? I don't have to change the battery every once in a while ? It's a true battery ?
