Quote :: The Nintendo 3DS handheld may very well be used as a Wii U controller for the upcoming Super Smash Bros.

This possible functionality was discovered by Twitter user Kyle McLain, who tweeted the following photo, along with the message "Am I crazy, or does this say that if you connect your 3DS with your Wii U, that you can use your 3DS as a controller?" The top screen does indeed say "Connect to Wii U" and "Connect the 3DS to the Wii U to use your customized characters and use the 3DS as a controller."

At this time, this functionality appears to be compatible only with Super Smash Bros., with no word on whether or not it would extend to other games.

Nintendo has not yet confirmed whether or not this functionality will indeed be used.
