According to NeoGAF post , current model 3DS users will not be able to post to Miiverse or use the internet while playing Super Smash Bros, claiming that those features will only work on the New 3DS hardware.

Backing up that claim, is a Twitter post from the Super Smash Bros. Community, written in Japanese, translates to - "Miiverse cannot be run while this software is being played, so posting screenshots to this community is not possible. When using this software with the New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS XL, Miiverse can be used while playing."Gamers using the current versions of the 3DS will still be able to save in-game screenshots to the SD card, which can later be uploaded to Miiverse. It appears that updated specs for the New 3DS will allow it to handle that task while running the game. IGN has reached out to Nintendo for comment.For more information on the New 3DS, including screenshots and improvements, check out our wiki page
