whoa, you can use a 3DS as SSB4 Wii U controller without SSB4 3DS now

you have to pay $.99 to do this

It's a really neat idea, but a shame the application to do it costs money. Just seems like something where even though it's a tiny amount people would go, "oh, cool! Wait, I have to pay? Nevermind."
Yeah, apparently you can, with a 1 dollar app. An inferior control method but good enough for visitors when you don't have spare controllers I guess.
if you really need it, you will probably pay the price gladly. If not, you probably don't care either way.

Oh wow.
no such thing as inferior controls, It's just pressing a and b.

Because buying the goddamn 3DS was not enough money already.
Nintendo are the masters of nickel and diming.

charging for this baffles me
I don't feel like the math adds up here.
Working with Namco on Smash sure gave Nintendo some ideas...
Smash costs $4 where you live?

It's a bit odd that it costs money, although I'm not sure if it's as bad as people are making it out to be. No doubt this feature cost money to develop, and it's hardly an essential ability.
Really? I think they're better than the large majority of gaming companies. See: reasonable DLC practices.
Please, Nintendo had on-disk paid DLC way before.

In the years of old that would be a Download Play thing.
...well there sure must not be that many fans of playing Smash U with 3DS?

I'm so used to playing the 3DS version I'd consider trying it out but the idea of paying a fucking dollar to do so rubs me the wrong way, even if it is only a dollar.
If you have the 3DS game, you can do it within the game. No need to pay for it.
Oh, with this kind of math skills is no wonder so many people feel "ripped off" with some DLC offerings.
Final price of the game for me was 65 dollars and a random amount of cents.

lol, I agree it should be a free companion app. The 3DS is not an ideal controller for Smash.
I've spent a dollar on less.

They're seriously charging money for it? What total fucking wankers.
They were always charging money for it.

What games? I'm only aware of Mario Kart 8 for Nintendo DLC.

First I've heard of it, and it's ridiculous money grabbing bollocks that I'm extremely disappointed Nintendo is stooping to.
Doesn't matter how long it's been going on, shitty practices are still shitty.
LOL. "I PAYED £150 FOR THIS CONTROLLER AND YOU WANT ME TO PAY 1$ MORE!? WHY ARE YOUR CONTROLLERS SO EXPENSIVE!?"
I think he's referring to the fact that, before this, you had to actually have the 3DS version of Smash to use the 3DS as a controller in the Wii U version.

Oh, so we're insulting people's intelligence now if they don't like the dlc pricing?

It's pretty silly and just goes to show how lame the Wii U to 3DS connectivity for Smash Bros. is.

This is the same company that's making me pay £27 for 3 characters, a few new stages and some costumes. Yes, £27, near enough the same amount of money as a brand new 3DS game, give or take £3.
This is a good app for people that need an extra controller as and when though I guess, albeit completely reliant on you having an expensive piece of hardware. I'm surprised this wasn't a free update.

A new age of paid DLC - DLC for control inputs...
If they're basis for not liking it is based around thinking $1 is a quarter of $40, then I guess? I don't even know if that's an 'insult' at that point or just a general observation.
Fire Emblem Awakening and Fantasy Life outside of Japan.
Then there's always Pokemon.

Actually, that I can kind of understand.
It's a stupid way of going about it, and is something that should have just been patched into the 3DS firmware (as it has been) when the WiiU version launched, but it being a 'cross play' feature, yeah, I can see why that would be a thing.
But charging for it? Fuck no, that's pure, anti-consumer wankery. I don't care how little it costs, that's just screwing their customers out of more money out of malicious greed.
Fuck Nintendo, and fuck anyone defending it. This is ridiculous.

New 3DS is actually not too bad to play smash on. And I play it more on the 3DS anyway, so....
I haven't played on the new xl yet. That actually makes sense, especially if you want to keep the controls consistent.
