A few days after the release of Super Smash Bros 4 for the Nintendo 3DS, a brand new mode called ‘Conquest’ was made available. In this mode, different character match-ups run for certain duration. During that period, if you want to play as one of the characters in the online matches, it will increase its usage percentage.
During the end, the character that has the highest percentage will generate rewards for the players who picked it. This mode has given rise to a particular issue because the percentages are always visible, hence gamers will choose a character with a commanding lead. In order to make ‘Conquest’ fairer, the makers have issued patch version1.0.3. With this update, a few balancing tweaks have been introduced while the results are kept hidden till an event is over. Head over to NeoGAF in order to take a look at a fixed Conquest screen.
In the meantime, Super Smash Bros 4 for Nintendo 3DS seems to be doing well. Nintendo’s financial highlights have revealed that in the 6-month period leading up to September ’14, around 3.22 million units have been shipped worldwide.
