How is that silly? They could reuse assets to make another NSMB stage etc.  Or well Gameboy stage (its just jpegs with no polygons other than the floor)
Smash 3DS has some music   Brawl had a ton.  But you had to unlock alot of that as far as I know. In the 3DS version? nope

The first page of the challenges almost does itself without work. And if you finish that page the second one is already 50% done.  Stagas and characters also almost unlock themselves because there is no effort needed to unlock them etc. and everys 10 or so fights a new challenger appears. This has nothing to do with the 3DS hardware but with   dont giving a fuck about the game.

TBH to me it seems like this: 
Nintendo: Smash will come out
Sakurai: What? Noone told me.
Nintendo: Sakurai please do another smash for us.
Sakurai: Okay How much time do I have?
Nintendo: Mid/End 2014.
Sakurai: What only?
Nintendo: Yes.

End result unpolished game. (Despite the fighting itself which is glorious)
Kid Icarus is a great game made by the same guy. Smash not so much in terms of contect.


The menu is also a mess. The game has no intro  etc etc. (Do an ingame intro if the cartridge is to small for a movie one) 

The game does not feel epic at all. It feels like a demo to me.

I am disappointed with the game.

It lacks content. The stage number is smaller than brawl!
The single player experience is crap. You can unlock every character and stage within 3 hours. (I did that and did not look for walkthrough or whatever at all) Even tho i have not played smash or any other fighting game in years. There is no challenge whatsoever.

The only thing left is some of the challenges but since there is nothing I can unlock why do them? (well and trophies but this again does not need any skill it just needs time)


Brawl was much better in every single thing minus the character balance.  I love how Smash 3DS plays. (the controls suck tho)

I still feel they're little things missing in order for it to be a CLASSIC! This is referring to the Wii U version as well.

I really miss some of the old Retro stages from the old Smashes (N64 Dreamland, Pokémon Falls, Fourside, Mushroom Kingdom II or Subcon, all from Melee).

Also the character selection, don't get me wrong its great, but I feel they should definitely add just a few more from past Smashes as well (Mewtwo, Ice Climbers, Star Wolf, and Snake come to mind).

Also I hear people want Story Mode again (which in god's name don't understand WHY!). I think this mode is what turned me away from Brawl. To each their own, I guess.

And finally the online mode. There needs to be an option to control the time limits, stocks, and items. I still don't understand why Nintendo can't do something about the Online mode being more user friendly and players having more control over it. This also turned me away from Brawl, BIG TIME! Why does Nintendo have to control how long I can fight with random players, choose the stage for us, and decide whether or not I want to Smash with items and STILL want it to count or not?

Hopefully, they will add many of these features in DLC or Patch.

Thoughts or your own ways to make Smash more memorable?

I am trying to tell you that there is no room for anything more on the 3DS. You may not like the breath of content that they did provide, that doesn't take away from it, but they simply could not fit more. You are comparing a multi-gig disc system game (Brawl, Melee) to a cartridge game that is going to be running about as well as the N64. (The game cannot run an intro movie. They are memory hogs as well as CPU hogs, neither of which it has any to spare.) KI:Uprising didn't have to turn off the 3DS OS to be able to run.

The music is fixed to two tracks per stage for a very real, machine limited reason as well as space (music takes up a lot of memory). It cannot hold, nor can it run, more than it does. Having more tracks buried in the code, compressed, would mean jack shit. So what are you going to unlock? Music you can't use? Music the game can't hold or play?

Take this game, compare it to the N64 or even Melee. Just how much are you missing? I'm going to bet nothing, and in fact the 3DS has more content than either of those, by a sizable margin. The problem is you're trying to, now, compared a recent console system release to a handheld.

I planned on getting it for Wii-U and still might but after playing the demo on the 3DS, I might just stick to Melee instead. It kinda feels Maddenish to me (I skipped Brawl all together) in that it doesn't really feel like it's improved since the Gamecube version. The jump from the N64 to Gamecube was HUGE. Everything from graphics to music to gameplay, all improved and all leaps and bounds better. This version? It feels like a step back in alot of ways from Melee. 

Didn't say all of this either, but to each their own...
