8th April, 2014 – A new Nintendo Direct video revealed numerous
details about the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for the Wii U and
Nintendo 3DS systems. At the start of the video, series creator Masahiro
Sakurai announced that the Nintendo 3DS version of the game is planned
for this summer, with the Wii U version targeting winter 2014. Both
games will be available in stores and on Nintendo eShop for their
respective platform. Sakurai also detailed many of the stages and items
in both versions, described the games’ online functionality, revealed a
new mode exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version and announced fan-favorite Greninja, a Pokémon from the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y
games, as a new playable character.
To view the Nintendo Direct in its entirety, visit http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/04-08-2014/#/video-ndirect. Today’s announcements included:
Launch windows: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is planned for this
summer. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is targeting winter 2014.
Silky smooth 3D: Most gameplay elements of the Nintendo 3DS version of
the game will run at 60 frames per second, all in stereoscopic 3D.
“Smash Run”: Exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version of the game is a new
mode called “Smash Run.” In this mode, four players have five minutes to
enter a dungeon and explore the surroundings, fight enemies and obtain
power-ups to enhance their fighters. Once the five minutes are up, all
four fighters enter a battle arena using their newly equipped items and
power-ups. Enemies encountered in the Smash Run mode are from a wide
range of game series. Multiple Nintendo 3DS systems and games are
required for multiplayer modes.
New challenger!: Greninja, the awesome final evolution of Froakie from
Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, joins the roster as a playable character
in Super Smash Bros. for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Oldies But Goodies: Many of the classic characters from past Super Smash
Bros. games that are returning in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and
Nintendo 3DS have new powers and abilities. Four characters that have
appeared in previous games, but had yet to be announced before this
Nintendo Direct, include:
Zero Suit Samus: That’s right, Zero Suit Samus is back, but this time
she is her own fully playable character, separate from suited Samus. In
the new game, she is given jet boots to make her even more powerful.
Sheik: As with Zero Suit Samus, Sheik is another character that appeared
in previous Super Smash Bros. games, but will be a unique playable
character for the first time in the new Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games.
Sheik has new moves like Burst Grenade and Bouncing Fish.
Yoshi: In previous games, Yoshi stood on two legs and hunched over, as
if Mario was going to jump on top of him at any moment. This new version
of Yoshi stands completely upright, making him an even stronger
fighter.
Charizard: After appearing from a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. Melee
and becoming playable by using Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros.
Brawl, this fire-breathing Pokémon is now a selectable character.
Online play: Both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of Super Smash
Bros. will offer online multiplayer gameplay with other players on the
same platform. Players with broadband Internet access can battle it out
with anyone else who is online and also has the game.
When playing with random players online, two modes are available: “For
Fun” and “For Glory.” In “For Glory,” only Final Destination stage
variations are available. There are no platforms, elevated areas or
items in this mode. It is a nice, clean battle between characters. In
“For Fun,” all stages are picked randomly and all items and power-ups
are available.
When playing with friends, full customization is available – players can set the rules, stages and items however they want.
Variety of stages: While the cast of playable characters is the same in
both versions of the new games, the stages where the battles take place
are vastly different, depending on which system a player chooses. The
Wii U stages are primarily based on past home console games, while the
Nintendo 3DS stages draw from handheld games for inspiration.
Boss characters, such as the Yellow Devil in Wily Castle will make
appearances in some stages. When bosses appear, fighters will have to
battle the boss, as well as one another. The boss can even be used in
strategic ways to damage other fighters.
Almost all the stages in both versions of the game will have a “Final
Destination form,” an alternate form of each stage that is inspired by
the relatively simple layout of the much-loved Final Destination stage.
Items, Trophies and Pokémon: Items, Assist Trophies and Poké Balls all
return in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. New to the games
are Master Balls, special Poké Balls that contain Legendary Pokémon
like Arceus and Xerneas.
Get connected: There will be elements in Super Smash Bros. that link
both versions of the games. More details about this will be revealed at a
later date.
Custom moves: In a series first, players can now customize move sets
when playing locally or online with friends. More information about this
feature will be announced in the future.
