Cyber Gadget announced that they will be making a custom arcade stick for the 3DS XL and will be on sale in October. It is currently for Japan only. Hopefully it'll come out west for the competitive use.

I'm lucky I got the XL

The only fighters are street fighter and blazblue though

It works for Smash Bros too.

So they are ignoring the original 3DS because we were loyal  enough and we bought it on it's release?

Why would you want to use a fight stick for Smash though?

it is being made to play Smash and this is the first time Smash was on a handheld so it'll be kinda similar for some people who use fight sticks before

I understand that much but smash never stuck me as a game that needed such a peripheal is the thing

Well, knowing how rough I am with my arcade stick, I think I'd send the 3ds flying if I tried to use this. O_O (Not that I have a 3dsXL)

And a GameCube controller!

Really?Is Nintendo seriously doing that?

Nah, someone got one working on it.

I played Smash 3DS back at Smashfest, and it works perfectly fine with the standard 3DS controls. : I don't see any need to get a new controller for it.

Yeah, smash is the one "fighting" game that I'd prefer to use a controller with.

I don't play many fighting games, but I honestly can't imagine playing the ones I like with an arcade stick or anything like that. It's just a weird idea to me. ._.

Heh, that's perfectly fine. There's a learning curve to it, especially if you're already use to using a controller. Really, you can do just fine without one. Unless you want to be an ultra high level tourney player, then you should probably look into investing. And I haven't played many fighting games either, there's probably a bunch that are just fine without a fighting stick.

 

Honestly, I just find a certain novelty in using one, and since I only use a stick when playing fighting games it makes them feel more unique when I play 'em. I'm not even that good at them.

Personally the only reason I want to switch to stick is the fact the button layout make certain things easier

That I would agree with. Once I got used to the stick, hitting the right buttons got much easier. Though, I found it harder to do quarter-circle inputs, but that may just be me.
