Systems: Wii U/3DS

Release date: 2014

Developer: Nintendo, Sora Ltd., with collaboration from Namco Bandai

Previous entry: Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii) (9.5 Editors choice)

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will be the fourth and fifth games in the fan favorite Nintendo brawler, as well as the first handheld entry to the series, which only grows more popular with each entry. Super Smash Bros could very well be the shot in the arm the Wii U needs to pick itself up!

Hot off Neogaf, Sakurai recently did an interview with a french publication. Link above.

The takeaways:

-One team is working on both games, there is no "lead platform" but they did consider 3DS exclusive at one point.

-Both games will have the same characters, looks like no version exclusives there.

-Sakurai is not opposed to DLC, he just isn't thinking about it while he's making a complete game on it's own. Little more hesitant on patches.

-Single player will NOT be structured like the SubspaceEmissary, disapointed the cinimatics from it made their way online (welcome to 2005, Sakurai)

-No promises, but he does enjoy introducing new combatants with the same kind of cinematic treatment Megaman, Wii Fit Trainer and The Villager recieved.

-"You cannot disable stage damage...It may as well be PSASBR!" (Shots fired)

-The time for considering new charecters has past. Sorry Geno fans.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Each version will have the same characters

-Stages will be different between the versions, with the Wii U focusing on home console environments and the 3DS following suit for portable worlds

-Unfortunately, this difference means the game will lack cross-play

-Versions will still have some connectivity between them, with an as of yet unexplored customization element at play. Suggestions are that it won't affect power of attacks, as much as directionality.

-Tripping has been removed (huzzah!)

-Speed of the game will be somewhere between Melee and Brawl. Director wants to strike that balance between those who prefer the pace of melee with the accessibility of Brawl

-Not sure how the fact the 3DS version gives each player a separate screen would be used.

Mega Man

Longtime request Megaman enters the fray, bringing along a whole armoury of Robot Master weaponry he's acquired over the years. Known weaponry includes the Super Arm, Metal Blade, Crash Bomb, Leaf Shield, Hard Knuckle, Spark Shock, Top Spin, Flame Blast, Slash Claw, and Flame Sword, pulling from throughout the classic series. His weaponry is rounded out by his natural abilities, such as the chargeable Mega Buster, sliding, or the Mega Upper which looks suspiciously like a move from another Capcom Legend.

The Villager

Does this look like the face of mercy? The animal crossing villager comes to town, and he is ready to pay back some pain. He carries around all sorts of paraphernalia to attack with, and is always ready to pick up more souvenirs, such as Samus's missiles, Mario's fireballs, or any other projectiles and use them for his own carnage. He also does one hell of a balloon fighter impression.

Wii Fit Trainer

One of the more....interesting new combatants, the Wii Fit trainer has come to put the Nintendo all stars through their paces. As a health nut, she moves gracefully and many of her moves are based off of the Yoga and other exercises Wii Fit has players do.

Smash Bros. petition calls for Reggie Fils-Aime to be playable character.

[spoiler]

Mario

The face of Nintendo has been part of the fight from the very beginning, and is the standard by which all other combatants are measured. Easy to use melee and some explosive fire make him a force to be reckoned with.

DK

When you choose DK, you'll not choose wrong. The original heavyweight is back to monkey around for another few rounds with pure physical strength making this well dressed ape deadly.

Link

The Batman of the Nintendo world, he has a well balanced move set with an item for every occasion. Doesn't mean you should take his swordplay lightly, however! The hero of Hyrule will always fight with everything he has.

Samus

The original first lady of gaming returns sporting an updated look from Other M. She is never caught without her accessories, you know how they say missiles are a girl's best friend. Samus is not a fighter you want to let out of arms reach.

Kirby

Is he a marshmellow? Nobody really knows, they just know that he has a very particular set of skills...those of his opponent! Even without them, he brings an array of moves from his own series that make one perilous pink puffball.

Fox

Ace pilot of the Star Fox team has seen his share of battle, and he's just as quick on his feet as he is in an Arwing. His ability to keep you at just the range he wants with ease makes him one sly opponent!

Pikachu

This little electric rodent is famous the world over, and anyone who chooses pikachu finds that he can choose a target and never let it get away with living for another match. Lightning quick, he'll never let prey escape.

 [spoiler]

Bowser

The Koopa King returns with his signature brand of terror, and weight to throw around the ring. Sharp claws and red-hot fire breath tear his foes to pieces, as the king koopa gains another throne as king of the ring.

[/spoiler]

 [spoiler]

Sporting an updated look from Kid Icarus uprising, the talkative cherub returns from brawl to hand down Palutena's judgement. His arsenal has been updated with arms, and orbitars from the 3DS shooter.

[/spoiler]

Skyloft: Different screenshots show very different scenes, perhaps the new Isle Delfino

Castle Wily: Not much known, Moving platforms to either side. Possible appearence of fan favorite Yellow Devil somewhere in the game

Animal Crossing City: Has a town view and a city view. Not known what the difference is, or if they're even the same stage.

Generic Arena: Did you want more generic than Final Destination? Is this even going to be in the game?

Battlefield: Same as ever, floats among ruins reminicent of Sky Sanctuary from Sonic. Same day/night cycle as Brawl.

I'll buy both too. :D

I hope they announce more characters soon.CountBleck12

Like Snake? :D

Sony's version of Super Smash wasn't the same... Even though I didn't play it, it just didn't look as good.:P

Which characters do you guys want? Has Diddy Kong been confirmed?

Diddy is as good as confirmed. :P

I want Dixie Kong prehaps, and characters like Ghirahim.

They should put Barry Burton from REmake in.:lol:bugbag

Why? :P

Because it would be funny.:lol:

I hope they remove Kirby. Kirby is the toughest fictional character I've ever seen. He could own Kratos.:|
