Here's yet another cool free game promotion. Nintendo is gifting a high-profile titles to those who buy their handheld plus the addictive Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
As you can see in the following graphic, the offer also works if you buy Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. In both the console and game have to be registered before January 12, and the selection of free games includes Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Yoshi's New Island, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Mario Golf: World Tour, Mario Party: Island Tour and Pokémon Art Academy.
In another Smash-ing news, Nintendo is now offering players a way to share screenshots taken via the in-game feature. Some gamers complained after seeing that, despite having a great and comprehensive Photo Mode, easy and common Miiverse sharing wasn't available. That issue isn't fixed yet, but for now you can save a photo and share it on the web via the following instructions (yeah, you have to close the game...).
Finally, below you have two Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS videos that could be useful if you're looking to climb the ranks online. The first is the highlights of the US National Open Tournament, in which Rosalina kicks Mario's ass during the closely fought final match. Second is some "Fighting Talk" from pro players. They like the new ledge grabbing, or the option for veteran users to "play for glory" (no items, omega stages), and watching replays online for further reference.
In our case we're seeing a ton of Link, Little Mac, Samus, Charizard, Pit and Lucina as fan-favorites online. What's your character of choice?
