Smash Bros: Ryu, Roy, Lucas, and more!

Ah, Smash Bros. You are already one of the best games on Wii U and 3DS, yet you continue to delight with some great Downloadable Content. Paying extra for more characters like Lucas isn’t our favorite thing in the world, but Ryu… Oh boy. Down to forward punch. Yeah.

Smash Bros. hit it out of the park at E3 2015 with all kinds of DLC from characters to stages, to costumes… available that day! We’ve been playing with the new content and have a lot to say about Nintendo’s Smash presentation and continued DLC support.

Should 3DS Have a Future?

Simeon and Scott – judges of consoles’ and portables’ fates alike!


3DS originally launched in 2011. That’s a long time ago for a handheld! In the time since it’s been revitalized with its “New” branding and features, but the platform is still looking long in the tooth, especially when examined next to the new Nintendo Switch.
