New update adds shared mode and amiibo compatibility for 3DS version of Super Smash Bros.

The New Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL will will natively support Amiibo’s

Nintendo has released a new update for the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS which will add amiibo compatibility, a shared mode as well as other features to the game. Releasing back in October, Super Smash Bros. is available for the 3DS and Wii U. Players in the US will have to wait until Friday to access these new features. The update comes in time for the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS XL later this week.

Players were annoyed to discover that they had to delete data in their amiibo in order to use it in another game, such as Nintendo’s upcoming the Mario Party 10. Many thought it would be the same with the two versions of Super Smash Bros, however their doubts were quelled when the update’s changelog posted on NeoGAF revealed that this was not the case. You can check out the full changelog below:
