I have really good memories of playing smash with my bros and using our 3ds as controllers on the wiiu.
Damn, it made me hella nostalgic.
I hope I'm not player 5
Player 5 is reserved for the friend who plays in tournaments
We gotta nerf that guy somehow
I actually used to perfer the wiimote, but then one day had to use a pro controller and once i got used to it, I realized what a difference that smash stick makes, especially playing bowser where i use smash attacks all the time
You can always add a nunchuk to your controller, gives you a few more buttons. I believe the classic controller works too
Smash for WiiU is notable for being one of the worst home console entries but I have to admit it has some fucking impressive tech for supporting even your toaster as a controller
Really? Worse than smash on Wii with its trip mechanic?
As far as I know, yes, fans usually hold Brawl in higher regards due to Subspace Emissary. Smash 4 had the same mechanical downsides as Brawl except tripping, but without the benefit of expansive single player content. At the very least Smash 3DS had Smash Run.
That’s true I guess most of my memories were from the 3ds version
Brawl is still considered a very good party game
Really? Its my favourite entry, mostly due to the custom characters
How tf you use a playstation remote on Wii u
Ngl, kinda wanna try a DualShock 4 controller with the game. Also, my favorite color is blue so #2
One of my favorite memories in gaming was playing like this at a convention. It was awesome how basically anyone could just roll up and join in without having to beg for a controller. It was just pure chaos with 8 players too. So much fun!
this is what i exactly thought when setting up all of this, brings nostalgia even when ive never been at a convention lol
My roommate and I used to go to parties and bring our 3DSs with Smash when we knew there was a WiiU there with Smash. TV next to the beer pong table, people milling about chatting, we'd rock up and let them know, "We brought our own controllers" then connect our 3DSs. I would port a couple of custom characters and we'd have a time. It was especially fun using the custom Mii that looked like myself or someone else at the party
Get ready for a whoopin
I'll be player 8
Sure, can I use my own 3DS instead of a Wii Remote?
feel free, playing with the wiimote is very uncomfortable
Yes. Had lots of fun playing Ultimate with the bros during lunch at school. So much fun. One of my only good memories of Highschool.
I preferred using my 3ds to play the Wii U version. Mostly because I played the 3ds version religiously until I got the Wii U version.

TIL you could use your 3DS as a controller to play Smash Bros (never had a Wii U anyway)
Yeah, there is a special controller app, or if you have smash bros on your 3ds you can connect through there
Let the chaos begin
I am player number 5
update: replacement for the wiimote: you now get a Wii U Pro Controller 😁😁😁
I'm so down.
Also wish the 3ds could work with the switch like it could sometimes with the wiiu... Like why can't we use it as a controller still lol
One Thanksgiving all the kids were playing smash on the Wii U. I ran out to my car grabbed my 3Ds and joined in on the next game. They were all salty cause they were using Wii remotes. I let them all have a turn and still beat them with the Wii remote. I told them “years of practice make up for a poor controller lol.”
i call number 2
I can't imagine playing smash with a DS4

Always thought using the 3DS as a controller was very cool. Wish more Wii U games made use of the 3DS in a similar fashion. Heck, a port of Zelda 4 swords doing this would've been so cool! Wish they'd do more with the Switch as well in this regard (like PacMan Vs, and Clubhouse games w/free clients, etc)
