Update: Nintendo Treehouse Livestream over.
Original Story: As announced during Nintendo’s ongoing eight hour live-steam, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is getting a playable demo very soon.
The demo hits this Sep. 19th and includes five playable characters: Mario, Link, Pikachu, Villager, and Mega Man, and the Battlefield stage. It includes local multiplayer, and can only be opened 30 times, so fight wisely.
