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

^ Well, you can't say for sure yet, as we don't know it's a stage based on the Great Cave Offensive yet.

If it is though, awesome! I love that game from Kirby Super Star, since it was more puzzle-focused. Also, it says below the picture it has rules that are rare in Smash Bros. What could that mean? Having to find treasures to win or something?...

The Global Smash Power rankings will get interesting with more players involved. Connect online, and keep updating your status. This screenshot is the result from the last Conquest challenge.

This is cool and I just played in a random double battle online as Mario a while ago and got 6 points.

^ Would you mind telling me how Conquest Mode works, then?

You fight as one of the 2 characters that's picked for Conquest Mode that week and you win gold when it's over if you fight with that character and do while in battles.

Simply touch them on this part of the GamePad. This particular screen is dedicated to activating amiibo, but you can also tap your amiibo on the GamePad at the character-selection screen to let that character join the battle. Once you do, the trophy of your amiibo character transforms into a Figure Player (FP)!! FPs fight and develop on their own.

It's going to be crazy doing this yourself and I think trying to beat a level 50 amiibo with a regular character will be a true test of skill.

I'm going to make mine really powerful, hopefully you can battle them online, so I can have everyone lost against my Amiibo. XD

There'll probably be a specific thing to have the amiibo character fights I'd imagine, like a Special Rules thing for online.

They also accumulate damage, and a grave gets erected every time a Flying Man falls in battle. And of course, only up to five Flying Men can appear at a time.

Only one Flying Man has ever shown up for me but, I think Sakurai means that up to 5 can pop up through the match one after the other until there all taken care off. The Flying Man are a nice throwback to Earthbound though.

Woah, that looks like a cool stage. I really need this game. XD

Actually, some stores near me have listed it for release today, even though it definitely released last Friday. That's very strange, but considering no stores had it even on display when I checked after it's release, maybe Nintendo just didn't stock my area? I mean, I'd assume they'd just say out of stock if they truly ran out of copies, they wouldn't just change the release date completely. It's kind of strange.

I'm glad the trophy shop is in the Wii U version since I spent so much gold in the 3DS trophy shop. It's also cool how it looks like a real toy store. Lastly this is the first time the Toon Ganondorf, Needle Kirby and KK. Slider trophies have been seen since there not in the 3DS version.

The Doc is back!






















Dark Pit crashes the party!























It's to see Doc and Dark Pit in HD and I enjoy playing as Dark Pit more then Pit since his attacks do more.

What's the point in updating us on characters we already know are there? Whatever, it's nice to see them on the Wii U version I guess.

Also, the Trophy Shop in the Wii U version looks really cool.

So fighters, with the game now released worldwide, how are you faring with your home-run distance and Global Smash Power? I wonder if Ganondorf gives you some advantage.

I don't really care about the Global Smash power but, Ganondorf helped me clear one of the challenges and I still need to use him for the last Home Run Contest challenge. Also it's strange how Sakurai brought up Ganondorf since he has not been added to the website yet unless he's being added later with R.O.B and Mr. Game and Watch but, I don't see them adding more pages until next week since Dark Pit and Dr. Mario's pages want up last night. Then again then might just be speeding up the 3DS hidden things so that they can talk about Wii U only things soon.

Even though this will only appear as a trophy, this was made from the ground up. Designers really are amazing. Zero's here too!! There are also trophies of Roll and Proto Man.

Tgat cool how Bass and Zero have trophies in the Wii U version since there not part of the 3DS version sadly. I also can't wait to see the Proto Man and Roll ones.

Oh cool, Mega Man trophies. I kind of expected them to be there, but it's nice to actually see them, and in HD. The Wii U trophies seem a bit better than the 3DS ones.
