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

Zero Revolution wrote:^ Same here, although I have played it. Something I wasn't really expecting is how great it looks. I guess in screenshots and trailers, it just doesn't look quite as pretty, but on the 3DS itself (especially in 3D) it actually looks amazing. So I'm pleasantly surprised. As for the game itself, it feels slightly closer to Melee on how it plays, and that's a plus for me. I wasn't a fan of how Brawl felt, although I did like that game, I preferred Melee because of it. But from what I could tell this tops both. (of course assuming that the rest of the game is good too ) But just from how it feels playing, I love it.

Also, Nintendo just confirmed you can use your Nintendo 3DS as a CONTROLLER on the Wii U version of Smash Bros! Awesome! I mean, I'm sure I'll just use Pro Controller or GameCube Controller if I get the Wii U version, but I'll definitely want to try it out, that seems really cool.

It is a bit underwhelming to see the roster end up like this, but there's still plenty of interesting newcomers. The gameplay seems amazing so far from what I've seen as well, so I must say that I'm pumped!

Of course, there's DLC as well, so I wouldn't rule the roster to being completely final at this point. Sakurai has been known for being extremely unexpected.

I prefer how Melee plays a little bit more than Brawl. I did play the demo, I don't feel too much of a difference but I think it plays great. It seems to lean slightly more on the Melee side.

This is what the title screen will look like for the overseas version. In this mode, the game aggregates global wins among specific teams during a limited time and determines the victor. If you choose a participating fighter from the With Anyone option, you'll automatically participate in Conquest. We'll be running Conquest in beta for a while. Also, Conquest data where players seem to be losing on purpose will be removed from the calculations. And lastly, there's no point in working on this mode too much on your own, so don't overdo it…

Sakurai wrote:Announcement: Originally, the pic of the day was only supposed to continue for about two months, but I've ended up posting pictures until even today. The 3DS version has already been released in Japan, so I would like to talk about how future posts will be handled. First, I will not talk about hidden features until the game is released overseas. On the other hand, I definitely will talk about them after the game is released abroad. In addition, I am planning to continue making posts at least until the Wii U version is released. I haven't decided if I'll go by the Japanese version release or the release of versions abroad, but the point is that I'll continue posting for a little bit longer. Pic of the day won't focus on introducing new information anymore in the near future, but I hope to entertain you with interesting and funny photos like I originally intended to. Thanks.

First, regarding the roster, Sakurai mentioned that even though many characters are included, there are some who worry about those who didn’t make the cut. He specifically addresses the absence of the Ice Climbers as well. It seems they were running in the Wii U version, but due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game. There wasn’t as high a priority given to series that are unlikely to have another installment at this time.
On the topic of different release dates for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS, Sakurai mentions that this was for debugging, which was necessary to avoid there being considerable differences between the two versions. If both games had a shared release date, a launch in 2015 may have occurred.
Finally, Sakurai shared a tidbit about the trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 3DS. Akihiro Toda – known for the texts in the Mother series – wrote the descriptions.
