Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

According to Amazon, Smash Bros. 4 3DS could be coming on August 26th. It's probably a placeholder date, but still. I personally hope it releases a bit earlier, but I kind of doubt it will.

I guess the Beam Sword will also have blue and green colors and I guess the Fire Bar will also count as a Beam Sword. Also I think the Ice Climbers might be shown on Thursday since Japan is getting that NES Remix 1 and 2 retail disk.

I guess that's cool. I have a feeling the Ice Climbers won't be shown this soon after that Direct, but we'll see.

We saw this stage in the Direct but, it's nice to know more about it.

I think we already knew all of that though. But it does seem like a cool stage, have they ever done a stage where you can go to one side and appear on the other in Smash Bros. before?

I think Sakurai is trying to tell everyone that Bandana Dee won't be playable. Since he did not say much though it may mean that the Ice Climbers or Rob will be show tomorrow.

I have no idea what he's trying to say there. But I would be disappointed if Bandana Dee were a playable character anyway.

I think Ice Climbers will be revealed tomorrow, if not some other retro character.

I kind of knew that the Ice Climbers were not going to be shown since we got 5 characters this month. I guess it's cool how Yoshi leaves behind a rainbow though.

That's a nice effect, isn't there a similar one for Peach when she uses a certain move? I wonder if they're going to be adding rainbow trails for certain moves on characters. Probably not though.

I guess it cool to see all of the Mega Man's. I would have rather seen details about how Mega Man's final smash works though.

Yeah, but I think we can already tell basically how it works from the Direct a few weeks ago. It's still nice to see them though.

It cool that Midna is also in the 3DS version.

Hopefully all Assist Trophies will be in the 3DS and Wii U versions, but maybe not. They also don't seem to have outlines in the 3DS version, it's only the characters, which makes sense. Midna is still a cool Assist Trophy in general though.

I thought they got rid of the tether recovery since Olimar got a new recovery. I nice too know that it's still in though.
