[WiiCube_2013]

This topic serves to cover all of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U talk in one place.

Nintendo has recently revealed that there's normal and special bundles up for pre-order, and as such, pictured details below.

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

The controller to be used via the GameCube adapter (an exact replica of the original NGC controller) is available for pre-order within all three regions and looks like this.

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

Amazon.com product page has also revealed that there will possibly be the Stage Builder (like in Super Smash Bros. Brawl) feature as well as a Board Game mode.


"Whether you're creating stages on the GamePad, competing in challenges crafted by Master Hand and Crazy Hand, or outwitting your opponents in a brand new board game mode, there's no doubt that the ultimate Smash Bros. game has arrived."

I thought it had digital triggers? then it isn't an exact replica of the gc controller
can someone shed some light on it using a reliable source?

You're thinking of PDP/Hori lookalike NGC controllers.

PDP

Hori

nah, I thought they all had digital triggers?
If not, then YOU SIR, just made my day
now back to sleeping off my cold :-)

 

[WiiCube_2013]

The only one that skips the exception is the Wired GameCube controller for the adapter because the others sadly have digital triggers (terrible decision by PDP/Hori).

Im so glad that the stage builder has been somewhat confirmed. I know we only have the amazon source page but that has made me feel somewhat better about getting the wii-u version too. Board game mode could be fun too if implemented right. The only thing im hoping for now is a decent single player mode that lives up to how good the subspace was in brawl and ill have everything i need. Bring on december 5th!

 

[VinsCool]

Yeah cool

 

[chavosaur]

I've heard rumors of a possible mode where you play as Master/Crazy hand and frankly, that's pretty damn cool to hear about.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Wow only 30 days to go now until it's released in US! Dammit and Europe still needs to wait 'till December 5. :-/

IGN posted an article with 100 screenshots of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/10/20/feast-your-eyes-on-over-100-smash-bros-wii-u-screens

This screenshot looks really nice:

By the way, Nintendo's doing a Nintendo Direct specifically for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on October 23!

Fanboys getting pissy about having to buy two Smash Bros. games to get Mewtwo in 3,2,1...

Mewtwo is overrated Besides, that proves that the game will have DLC, so....

 

[grossaffe]

let's not gloss over that we'll have freaking 8-player simultaneous smash! My Drinking Smash Bros parties are about to get even more epic.

 

[chavosaur]

Wonder if that means this leaked image actually had legitimacy...

Yeah, that part is nucking futs, topped with the fact that the online mode won't suck and be a lagfest either.

 

[ieatpixels]

so is that all that was new in the smash stream, mewtwo?

 

[MarioFanatic64]

I think it's awesome that we finally have 8-Player Smash though the most people I've had playing Smash with me at a time is two.

As a personal downside I'd hoped there would be more stages in the Wii U version... and that the Past Stages weren't all the same ones from Brawl...

so is that all that was new in the smash stream, mewtwo?

Oh, no. There was a lot of new info. The Mewtwo announcement was just at the end of the presentation so it's the last thing on everyone's minds.

Is that directed at me? Because I'm far from disappointed, I was actually quite satisfied.

Nah, just anticipating the inevitable posts. The game looks effing awesome.
