Uh Oh... Smash Bros. demo breaks 3DS's!

From what I've read, you can't map the movements to the D-pad. Maybe the final product will allow you to but from what is being said of the NA demo, no mapping.

 

And the story on Kotaku has a lot of pictures of broken circle pads:

Nintendo's done this a fair bit in the past.

I recall not playing mario kart ds online because the way I had to play to win was very hard on the d-pad (and no fun).

Also there's a standing rule that mario party (especially the N64 games) will not be played in my house--not that anybody but me would play it, but they're designed to destroy controllers.

This is totally ridiculous.

 

I have a launch 3DS and the demo, and have put at least 75 hours into it. My circle pad still works fine. It survived Mario Kart 7, it survived Mario Party, it survived Smash. People just need to take better care of their stuff, and not blame a video game for their inability to do so.

 

(I've been into the competitive Smash scene since the competitive Smash scene was a thing; I have literally thousands of hours into Melee)

With the shape that system looks to be in, it was just a matter of time. Don't see how it's Nintendo's fault or the fault of this game.

Heck, judging by this picture, he can't even be bothered to put a sheet on his mattress. Doubt he takes care of much of his stuff.

Wow... you have played 75 hours of the demo in a week??? You, sir, are a devoted SB fan!

I went almost 20 hours straight when I downloaded it. Plus I spent 6+ hours straight at jury duty the other day playing it (playing with the sound off, 3D off, lowest brightness, and power saving mode gets me almost 9 hours on my double capacity Nyko battery). Been taking it to work and playing on breaks and lunch too.

 

I'm buying both versions, day one. (I hope Captain Falcon is better than he was in Brawl, as he's always been my main)

I've been giving the demo a real good go, and I don't see how people are wrecking their circle pad. I'm a rough Smash Bros player, but I don't feel anywhere near close to wrecking it. It's no different to the workout it gets playing any platformers or Mario Kart.

 

Ya my son and I tried it out today and these people breaking their controllers are just dumb.

 

P.S. Anyone got a move list for Mario?I got a 10 year old boy who would be thankful for such a thing.
