Twitch Plays Pokémon Now Playing Super Smash Bros. 3DS
The Twitch channel renowned for crowd sourcing Pokémon games has moved over to another Nintendo game: Super Smash Bros. 3DS.
You can check out the stream by heading here, and it is surprisingly functional. Watching for a few minutes, I assumed it would be a whole lot of aimless menu selection, but fights are happening pretty frequently.
The Twitch plays Super Smash Bros. 3DS will be going for another two days, and which point it will return to Pokémon and start playing the Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire demo. For more on Twitch plays Pokémon, you can find an interview with its creator here.
We recently had a chance to speak with Pokémon's developers and we asked them what they thought of the Twitch phenomenon. You can find that interview here.
