Smash Brothers 3DS will support the C-stick on New 3DS but NOT the Circle Pad Pro
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Well this pretty much puts me in a bad situation.
I currently have a regular 3DS with broken LR buttons. I had planned to buy the Smash Bros XL bundle to replace my old 3DS. Then Nintendo goes and announces the New 3DS, so I figure I could just survive by getting a Circle Pad Pro and use it's LR buttons.
You're meaning to tell me I can't even do that?

That's precisely what they are telling you. Buying a CPP as a bandaid to that problem isn't very smart tho..just get Nintendo to fix it??
Will they fix something that's been broken for a while?

This is probably crummy news for the twenty people that actually bought that monstrosity.
Sounds like a pretty smart move to me. Economically.

I wish I never bought mines early...I should've waited.
I never knew this. Man i'm scrubby in Smash lol.
How are they broken? You might just have dust trapped underneath. Try spring s lying some compressed hard in the little gap if you can.
So happy I don't buy Nintendo stuff. Getting fucked over all the time isn't my style
Wow, as if somebody didn't come to this thread to make such snide remarks.
I have a hunch this might be in an update fix.

Please enlighten us on how paying to play online, having specific applications behind a paywall until very recently, having an online service majorly breached to the point it was down a couple months, and having consistent hardware failure the first four years of a console's life wasn't getting fucked over all the time.
It's shitty that it's not in, but its probably to avoid blocking the IR port needed for Amiibo. I always found using the c-stick as some form of easy mode shit so it doesn't bother me.

Drive-by hater shit post at its best.
That said, it's a shame they're not including Circle Pad Pro support, Nintendo are usually good on the controller compatibility sides of things, in most cases. This time, it really sounds like a pusher for the New 3DS.
Ok this post makes a lot of sense.
Nintendo obviously wants to push amiibo, and I'd bet thats the driving force behind a new 3ds which can use them without an attachment.
If ccp support blocked that then yeah I can see why they didnt bother. Personally I dont use the right stick for smash attacks anyway so yeah I can also see why they didnt feel it was needed, instead using it as a bonus for new 3ds owners just to get some use out of the new stick.

But you own an Xbox
That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?
Also, the N3DS isn't "delayed" until next year. Delay implies that there was intent to release it this year.
I maintain that second stick was never a plan for Smash Bros and that it was only put into this for the N3DS in the last minute, and again it would appear that CPP coding can be adapted to N3DS, but not the other way round.
C-stick is nice but not vital. I'm sure it will play fine without one.

Most people don't use the c-stick when playing, in my experience. I'd owned melee for years before I learned the right stick did anything at all. I thought it was devoid of any function. This will do almost nothing to smash sales.
Wow, that's cold Nintendo. I bought a CPP because I found one at a really cheap price even though I had no games compatible with it (I still don't). I just assumed that Nintendo would continue to support it with future games, but instead they completely abandoned it. This is really annoying though, Nintendo could clearly (and probably easily) add CPP support to this game.
It seems like there are petitions for everything nowadays, I'm kind of hoping someone will make one petitioning for it to be supported in SSB3DS even though I doubt it'd gain any traction.

Yeah, this is something that I don't get. There was nothing to even imply that it would be.
Closest thing was them saying it was compatible with the stick on the N3DS.
yeah
i mean the new 3ds is coming and out has an additional analog stick along with two new shoulder buttons. you know, basically a circle pad pro, just built into the console.
it has the same compatibility as the cpp for a bunch of games... except smash bros
they should have known that only smash bros would be the exception to the rule!
So c-stick smashes are confirmed? For some reason I thought we weren't getting them this time around on any version.
I guess I was just confused by them ignoring the c-stick in their controls explanation.
Anyway, it's weird that they're supporting one but not the other, but it doesn't bother me too much personally since I'm not planning on getting a CPP nor a New 3DS in the near future.
Probably not a Wii U either. I guess I'm just going to have to do smash attacks the normal way.

I won't lie I bought one assuming it would work.
I'm less annoyed about the C stick and more annoyed about how uncomfortable the console is to hole and play smash.
The triggers and contour of CPP is significantly better than what we got from the N3DS or the 3DS. I guess I'll have to get a grip for my XL that makes it ergonomic.
I played the demo for 2.5 hours and my hands were fucked after that.
Seems pretty stupid of Nintendo to not have compatibility for the CPP when it functionally does the same thing as the second stick.
EX Troopers is almost unplayable without it. And the resident evil games as well as monster hunter benefit from the ccp greatly.
So I guess if you play Capcom games it matters.

Yeah
How many 3DS games are there that support the CPP? That list counts 11. If most games that'd come out supported it I could understand why you would assume it would be supported. But you're just settin yourself up for disappointment by assuming.
The C-Stick is built in, the CPP used IR if I recall correctly? Maybe not as easy as most are making it out to be?

Well I'm not buying a new 3DS and I won't put myself at a disadvantage so...skipping game I guess.
How is this a disadvantage? You have to press a button with a direction instead of flicking a stick.
Seriously have any of you guys ever played Smash before?
This was what i thought too. I don't think it's the only reason and it still sucks but I wouldn't be surprised if they give Amiibo full priority over the CPP since it's their new hotness and Smash is the flagship game for it rather than intentionally leaving it out just cause. .
Not buying it for the 3DS in either case though.

Will MH4g be backwards compatible?
Have you? try doing perfectly retreating fairs without c stick. dont forget to fast fall. i wish you luck.
E: just tried it as marth in melee. its not really impossible but doing it as well as with c stick... i had success rate of something like 10% as opposed to 100%.

It would be one thing if the new 3ds came out in time for smash, but of course it doesn't.

So huge amounts of people here bought a CCP before the direct for C-stick smash attacks or after right after the direct?
It just uses the CPP which the New 3DS handles automatically. I don't think it has any specific New 3DS functionality.

lol.
I never bought a 3DS and I was about to buy one couple of weeks ago "used system but almost brand new"
glad I decided to wait. I might buy some used games here and there if I found some decent price on them. but I am not buying the system till next year with the updated version
Monster hunter (well, 3u anyway) doesn't really need the ccp. It's pretty comfy without it because the L targeting works well.

ITT I learned that the C Stick does have a use.

Bad idea for those who have the CPP, no idea why Nintendo can't support that. I love them and the games they make, but they make some seriously questionable decisions regarding their hardware constantly between their archaic online, lack of cross-platform buy, and now this.

I see a lot of people complaining... How many actually have the accessory? I have Never seen one in the wild. Not even at any Cons where I will see groups of dozens of gamers sitting in a circles playing their 3DS. Never!
I guess if I had one and really liked it AND had no interest in the new 3DS I might see it as a big deal.

Isn't the C stick completely different than the CCP ?
I play like a pro without the c stick on brawl and melee, so this news doesn't bug me at all.
