The 3DS can be used as a controller in {{forwiiu}} via the [[Smash Controller]] software. It was released for $0.99 on the Nintendo eShop on June 14th, 2015, and was available until the eShop's shutdown on March 27th, 2023. | The 3DS can be used as a controller in {{forwiiu}} via the [[Smash Controller]] software.

Despite being an official control scheme for {{forwiiu}}, the 3DS was rarely used in tournaments. This was due to the logistical hurdles of either owning a copy of both games or paying extra to use the controller functionality, and the controls themselves being considered worse than alternatives due to the absence of a [[C-stick]].

By this point, however, the Smash Controller feature had been largely forgotten. | Despite being an official control scheme for {{forwiiu}}, the 3DS was rarely used in tournaments.
