Well, I finally caved in and bought Smash juuuust as I suddenly hear all these horror stories about 3DS's breaking. xD Like that time they tried to make Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS. Except first-party. Anyways, I stink really badly and am still getting used to the handheld controls but if anyone wants to Smash just let me know. If you don't know what that entails it means if you haven't already, please go here so I can smash at you |

The first Smash Casualty strikes the NTWF. I've been trying my best to be careful. Normally I'm best with the fast character, but I've been playing the more slow characters this time around. I've seen a few tutorials floating around the web about how to replace the circle pad... Would be nice if Nintendo would offer help with the systems breaking while playing Smash XD And upgrading to the New 3DS isn't really a helpful response XD Yeah I heard a lot of things about the New 3DS, such as having that new C-Stick that lowers the risk of breaking your Circle Pad (instant Smash attacks, why the fail!?). But for now maybe I should try gluing it back with super glue (if I could find it of course, wait, is it recommended to do that?), at least until I figure out if it was worth "upgrading" to New 3DS... (Not forgetting, is there any way to transfer my game datas between both consoles? Preferably without having to re-buy my downloaded Animal Crossing New Leaf...) Come to think of it, how does the Circle Pad really look like underneath the rubber casing? That's because the thin plastic need to be made of tougher materials... It depends how it's broken. Some people are getting lucky and the stick or top (pad thingy) are breaking. I've heard some people are just gluing them back together and working fine (though I would still be careful). The main issue is the stuff underneath is broken. Then the whole pad or system would need to be replaced. You can search around online for how to fix or replace for better details. I think there's a way for Nintendo to fix it, but I'm unsure how. And from what I've heard, it means you might have to wait a month or so for it to return...

Some people are breaking just on how fast and hard they're flicking the stick. Some are taking it easy, but the stress from being over used is still breaking it. In most cases, the 3DS is a bit older and have been used a lot. Most newer systems seem to be spared, for now. But that's not saying they aren't breaking either XD |

:3 Maybe Nintendo will offer a free solution, the way they gave out free gloves to kids ruining their hands with the original Mario Party, or when they gave out silicone bumper sleeves for wiimotes because people kept throwing them through TVs. XD
Not that I can think of a physical thing that could help with the broken circle pads besides just actually repairing the pads.
Also, I betcha those kids putting coins under the circle pad to hatch Pokemon eggs are starting to regret that idea. XD

I wouldn't worry about what's underneath the Circle Pad, after all, its only the top that broke off. I was thinking of using superglue to stick it back, although I should be extra careful considering how small that part really is. (Don't want that dripping into the system and ruin the whole thing.  ) |

I dunno if it's me just being a worrywart, but I feel like my circle pad is feeling a bit... loose, is how I would call it? I honestly don't know how to describe it. I'm not sure if it's always been like that and I'm only noticing now after hearing about people breaking theirs playing Smash and is panicking over doing the same, or if I'm honestly being too rough with it. (Which I've tried not to, but I also tried not to break my N64 control stick playing Mario Party...) Also, Coaster, I'm not trying to challenge you or anything, but I'm totally challenging you. Bit of fair warning, though, I may or may not have a slow connection (Meaning that I haven't gotten the opportunity to test it out for certain) and I'm a bit of a n00b at PvP, so don't expect anything terribly impressive from me. |

The stick will wear down over time and become more loose. But it usually takes a lot of playing for that to happen.
However, in the case of what I've been hearing with the 3DS. There's a chance something inside cracked or broke. In this case, it's not holding the stick as firmly as it should be, and it gives off a more loose feel. This can also cause it to stick more instead. Really, the stick thing is just a bit weird...
Pretty sure you don't have to really worry unless it starts to effect gameplay or it noticeably breaks.

It feels more like something is coming undone with the circle pad itself, rather than the actual stick. If I move my thumb against the edge of the circle pad, the pad will kind of turn a little. Maybe the glue holding the pad and the stick together is wearing off? Sorry if I'm being vague or confusing, but it's a bit hard for me describe what I'm feeling with the circle pad without actually showing you. ^^; I haven't noticed any effect on gameplay and it still works fine, though. (Then again, I don't really play a whole lot of fast-paced games aside from Smash) So this is probably a case of me being so scared of breaking the circle pad that I'm becoming hyper-sensitive to everything about the way mine works. |

I've tested it out by sticking back with a double sided tape and proven futile with bad movements and inevitable looseness. I honestly doubt a superglue could even fix that. -_- Oh well, might as well outsource elsewhere to see if there's a place to fix/replace that. |

Well, if you find a replacement part, you could do this:

Strife posted that on facebook the other day XD He also posted a great "glitch?" on Cornaria. Apparently if you're Ness and you use the absorption shield on the Arwing's or the Great Fox's lasers, it'll cause the lasers to glitch out and blast all over the field XD As for Metaknight... Yeah, he was going to get nerfed, but they really nerfed him XD |

I now dub thee "Nerf Knight"
I haven't seen the corneria glitch (that sounds hilarious), but I have seen the Yoshi ones. XD

I can't post the video itself of the Corneria Glitch (Since one of the players swear at one point) but apparently it works for Rosalina & Luma as well.
And I'm not sure if you'd call this so much of a "glitch" instead of "just plain broken" but there's also this:
(In case you don't catch what's going on, just one Thunder from Pikachu charges up Mr. Game and Watch's Oil Bucket move enough to OHKO)

On Corneria, Mr. Game and Watch's Oil Bucket can OHKO with the Great Fox's blast too.
And yeah, the video I saw showed Rosalina and Luma too. The video seems to be the only one currently showing it... So I would say just search for Corneria Glitch on youtube and mute it.
