TL;DR Version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full Feature list (Warning: Long Read, please check the above posts for a shorter version)
8-Player Smash: In a major first for the franchise, a special mode lets eight players fight simultaneously in local multiplayer. This option appears only in the Wii U version, and lets players compete on even larger stages to accommodate all the characters.
amiibo Figures: When a player touches an amiibo figure to the Wii U GamePad, the character joins as a “figure player.” The amiibo figures can gain levels to become stronger and add equipment as they gain experience through battling. Players can have amiibo fight one another, and amiibo will bring you presents from the battles they fight in.
Custom Stage Creation: The touch screen of the Wii U GamePad makes it easier than ever for players to build their own stages and eventually share them with friends and other players around the world using broadband Internet access.
Controls: Players who own the Nintendo 3DS version of the game can use their Nintendo 3DS systems to control the action on the TV screen, in addition to the many other control options available.
Importing Fighters: Fans of the Nintendo 3DS version of the game can immediately benefit from the fruits of their smashing labors. Players can import custom Nintendo 3DS fighters to the Wii U game, along with their customized equipment, costumes and hats.
Special Soundtrack Offer: Everyone who buys both the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U versions of Super Smash Bros. and registers both games on Club Nintendo by Jan. 13 will receive a two-disc soundtrack of music from the games.
Mewtwo: Like the soundtrack, this series veteran fighter will be made available as free downloadable content in spring of 2015 for anyone who buys both versions of the game.
Modes: The Wii U version of the game offers many new modes and different ways to play that keep players coming back for more:
Smash Tour: World Smash is a fighting party game that looks like a board game. Players use items, spin a wheel and advance around the map. Up to four players can compete at once as they navigate the board and gain fighters and power-ups they can use in a final battle.
Special Smash Mode: Players can customize battles with unique parameters.
Coin Battles: Players compete to collect coins from other players.
Stamina Matches: Players fight until their hit points reach zero.
Classic Mode: One or two players fight through a series of battles and advance as long as they survive. Many random events can shake things up, and players can adjust the intensity settings. The more difficult the game, the greater the rewards.
All-Star Mode: Like in the Nintendo 3DS version, opponents appear in chronological order. Only this time, the newest fighters appear before the older ones, and two players can battle through this mode together.
Event Mode: One or two players take on set character- and theme-based battles. Clearing stages helps players see the way forward.
Masterpieces: This menu gives players a peek into the past lives of some of the Super Smash Bros. characters. Players can play cut-down versions of the characters’ greatest games.
Stages: The Wii U game offers more stages than any game in the series. The expanded Big Battlefield makes its debut in addition to the traditional Battlefield Stage. The Great Cave Offensive, based on the underground labyrinth found in Kirby games, challenges players to avoid potentially lethal danger zones – or throw their opponents into them. The Jungle Hijinxs stage, based on Donkey Kong Country Returns, lets players fight in the foreground and background. Blast barrels shoot players from front to back and vice versa.
Tunes: The game includes hundreds of music tracks, songs and jingles that players can listen to and settings to customize what music plays during game play. Players add songs to their library by collecting CDs that appear while smashing or after completing challenges.
Movies: When players clear Classic or All-Star modes, they’ll be treated to a brief movie featuring whichever fighter they used. Every fighter has a movie, so it’ll be a challenge to view them all.
Ridley. Yes, Ridley: Fans have been clamoring for Ridley to appear in a Super Smash Bros. game for a while, and now they’re getting their wish. But true to form, Ridley appears in an unexpected way. Players will find him in the Metroid series-inspired Pyrosphere stage, but he does more than just hassle players. If one player attacks Ridley enough, Ridley will join that fighter’s side and attack others. Players (including the one on Ridley’s side) can KO Ridley to earn a point toward the match result total. And if Ridley consumes enough energy, he will become Meta Ridley and all the more vicious.
Characters: The Wii U version offers 40 characters and the use of Mii characters from the start. Each character’s moves match those found in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, so players who hone their skills in the portable game will have an edge over opponents in the console version of the game.
I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. The amount of content is almost overwhelming. I was happy with Smash for 3DS until I saw that Nintendo Direct.
@bunchanumbers: Both are heavyweights Championship and they ain't got nothing against MS and Sony but MS however has an edge since they have Sunset and MC Collection. Nintendo and MS are the clear winners.
This year for sure. Nintendo has gone in with both guns blazing. I knew it was going to be good after the E3 event. Had no idea it would be received this well though.
10/10 confirmed. The 3DS version got and 8. This version STOMPS the 3DS version. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Oh, and let's all give a round of applause for that announcer. He was amazing.

That guy kicked ass for a half hour straight. Bless his heart.
Believe it or not I may have to main Bowser Jr. Or a Koopa Kid if applicable.
I watched that whole thing live, hoping to see a bundle. Was there one? Nope, of course not. **** you, Nintendo. I guess only Mario Kart gets that type of treatment on launch.

That man should be in more Nintendo Directs. He deserves a medal.
I'll try my best to master Pac-Man and Shulk. But I'll admit, Bowser Jr. looked really awesome. And The Kooplings...Aw man. I'm going have a blast in 8 player.

Serieusly, a WiiU Smash bundle in times for the holidays would be the best thing Nintendo can do for themselves lol. Just slap 8 players possible on it and that's it, sold out. :P
So...Since Mewtwo is DLC, does that mean we'll get more DLC? Maybe like Bayonetta?
I'd buy that for a dollar!

I know, right? It's not like the Wii U needs help with sales or anything. Too bad though, they'd rather nickel and dime you, forcing you to spend the most possible.

I'm praying for Bayonetta. I mean Snake was unique and Bayonetta with being Nintendo, She deserves more credit for giving Nintendo great score on Bayonetta 2 and in return, make her part in SSB.
I'm still sticking to my buddy, Pikachu and Sonic. mewtwo Praise the sun, Mewtwo is my Main Pokemon since Melee.
I might have to buy a Pikachu Amiibo and train him like a Pokemon. Then unleash him on the unsuspecting world.
Other than Nintendo fucking up voice chat (again), I loved it.
I can't believe Mewtwo is coming back. Now people can stop bitching about him being gone.
The sheer amount of content is incredible. It looks like Bayonetta 2 has competition for GOTY.
Agreed, those will likely be the top two for WiiU GOTY.
The Mewtwo part is a bit...."odd", but the rest sounds pretty cool.
Gonna be a sweet month for Ninty if they play their cards right!
Yeah, surprised no one else is looking at this part. For you to get him free, you have to have the 3DS and Wii U version.
@m_machine024: I thought there is a ssb WiiU bundle?
There's a GC adapter and GC controller bundle but not a bundle with the WiiU console itself I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe they said that the whole voice chat thing was for connection stability. With rumors of the 3DS version's lagging, they need it.
Everyone else, pack it up, and go home. Stop trying. There's no point. You're not going to get better than this.
Man the 3DS version is so obsolete now. Who is actually going to play that version after they get it for Wii U?
Bayonetta 2 is best game on that platform.
This is a field filler on days I don't feel like playing Bayonetta 2.
Hipster look doesn't suit you champ.

Heads up, you can't claim one unreleased game is better than another, also unreleased game.

The **** I don't: Both of those games essentially have a demo. Bayonetta was gameplay brilliance by a studio that actually has depth to their gameplay, the other is a Nintendo game. It's not much of a contest, much of an argument, it's a rout in Bayonetta's favor.

Nah. Bayonetta is good, great even, but here, it's an easy rout like you said, but not necessarily in the order you think.
But hey, differing opinions and all that. At least we can all agree Wii U has the best games at the moment :-3

We don't even agree on that, the PC exists.
Bayonetta 2's combat is technically brilliant. Smash Bros? pfft yeah if you completely ignore a whole bunch of other fighting games. Including one coming this winter.

I mean of the consoles. PC's stratospheric brilliance effectively puts it out of the discussion because why bother with it existing, then.
Smash Bros. is also technically brilliant. In its own way. Not as a fighter, or not as a conventional one anyway. But that's the thing about it, I guess, you can enjoy it any which way you want. Don't even try to pretend you won't play a **** ton of Smash, have fun with it, and probably clock in like a 1000 odd hours.
