Spectator Mode for Super Smash Bros. Adds a Whole New Level of Fun

Yesterday, Nintendo director Masahiro Sakurai revealed over Miiverse that the highly-anticipated Super Smash Bros. will be featuring a Spectator Mode. This is incredibly exciting, as it means you will be able to watch players all around the world fight and make bets with in-game gold. You will be able to make informed wagers by checking out the player names, rules, win rates, odds, fighters, and stage- and why not do so with a little help from your friends?

The Spectator Mode will add a whole new level of fun for players, and more so for owners of CHAT-PAK! Imagine watching a thrilling fight and being able to chat with a friend and comment on the match the whole time. “Being able to cheer someone on is what really makes spectating matches fun." Sakurai said. "This time, 1st and 2nd place will get prizes in four-player matches, and spectators can bet the gold they win on Bonus Chances.”  

It doesn’t matter what game you and your children are playing on the Nintendo 3DS, the CHAT-PAK offers something no other 3DS accessory can offer- a truly inclusive social component. The possibilities are endless with the Chat-Pak; it is compatible with the over 150 million FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies in homes across America so communication is still possible even with friends who don't have their own Chat-Pak yet; parents will be able to keep in touch when in the neighborhood, on vacation, or whenever they are out of site; internet or cell phone connection is not necessary to chat with your friends- simply have them set their Chat-Paks to the same channel and code!

Kids and Video Games

There is a lot of debate and contradictory studies pertaining to the effect of video games on children. The general consensus is that with moderation and age-appropriate options, playing video games have minimal negative effects on children. Here is a more elaborate look at the discussion.

When playing more violent games, studies describe negative effects from increased aggression, decreased inhibition to violence, and increased blood pressure. However, the rate of juvenile violent crime is at a historic low, and many of those studies have been criticized as being inconclusive or methodologically flawed.

Positive studies tout improving hand-eye coordination (surgeons who play video games are faster and more accurate in laparoscopic surgeries), stimulating imagination, and improving cognitive thinking, but many of those benefits can be better achieved outside video game play in pursuits such as sports, arts, music, hobbies, and other creative endeavors.

If one thing is true is that games can be very isolating and inhibit social development. However, one approach to address this deficiency is to increase the social element of video games by involving siblings, family, and/or friends. Look for games that allow for two or more players, including sports games, racing games, and fighting and combat games. In competitive games it's helpful to have the ability to handicap more proficient players. Some games are more cooperative, allowing you to play or work on the same team. They are a few party games dedicated to the multiplayer experience that are usually lackluster solo, but may be good possibilities for a family game night.

With the CHAT-PAK, your children can enjoy a multiplayer game with their friends from as far as 4 miles away! There is so much more to learn about one of the Best 3DS Accessories out there, so contact us today by calling 954-399-0694.

CHAT-PAK Inaugural Blog

Welcome to our Blog! Allow us to introduce ourselves! Chat-Pak is the first accessory for the Nintendo 3DS built for wireless voice communication between multiple players. It attaches easily to the Nintendo 3DS, is simple to use, and keeps you connected to friends and family up to 4 miles away!

The concept of the Chat-Pak was born during a family road trip creator Wayne Phang embarked upon with his children. "While caravanning with my sister’s family on a 17 hour road trip to the Tennessee mountains, my kids were playing their portable video game and using a walkie-talkie to chat with their cousins  in the other vehicle. The game took on a new life as they trash-talked each other while playing," he said. "My kids turned to me and said, 'Dad, it would be really cool if you could build us a radio that can attach to our video game so we can chat with our friends when playing.' Then it hit me, they are right...that would be really cool! And just like that, the CHAT-PAK was born!"
