Older models will not be able to access Miiverse features while playing the game.
Key Super Smash Bros. for 3DS Miiverse features have been revealed to be compatible with only the New 3DS models coming in October, posters at NeoGAF have discovered.
Players have discovered that trying to enter Miiverse while playing the game will get them an error message. The same goes for those who try to enter the internet browser, as well. The Japanese Miiverse community description of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, however, suggests the Miiverse features will be accessible if playing on New 3DS models.
NeoGAF users have put forward a workaround where in-game screenshots can be saved onto the SD card, then uploaded manually using a PC.
I suspect this has more to do with hardware limitations on the 3DS. the browser and Miiverse are, i'd say it's safe to assume, the two most demanding things you can do while the 3ds software is suspended.fixed... oh edit button, *plays sad harmonica music*
It is possible that in order to ensure that the game runs smoothly, Sakurai and his team had to disable the use of the browser and miiverse on the standard 3DS so they would have the extra power needed to help run the game.
If true, it means the rest of the world will go a minimum of 3-4 months without these features. Any other way you want to gimp the game, NCL?If that's the extent of gimping the game, they made the right choice. As long as the game runs smoothly, everything else is secondary. Of course, that still doesn't mean this isn't a bummer. It is, just the one that makes more sense.
I'm pretty sure you could do the sleep mode music thing with the DSi's music app, so it's not that technically impressive.I thought the 3DS Sound Application could also do that.
Listening to the game's soundtrack while in sleep mode (3DS closed) is something no other 3DS games do. That is what's impressive.it would be impressive in a world where mp3 players don't exist.
It's a hardware limitation like some of you mentioned.
Just like with Monhun 4, the 3DS requires a reboot after closing the game and can't run another app at the same time.
