Is this possible? I unfortunately don't have more than one 3ds with Smash installed, so it is impossible for me to check. Thanks.

Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems
You can use Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems as controllers, as long as you have a copy of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS for each system.
The mention: "for each system" implies that multiple 3DS/2DS systems can be used simultaneously.
