Smash Bros. Coming to 3DS and Wii U

[Demon_Skeith]

Nintendo confirmed today that a new version of Smash Bros. will be coming to both the 3DS and the newly announced Wii U. This announcement was audibly the most well-accepted of anything Nintendo said. Nothing was shown and no further details were revealed, but we'll keep you posted on the news as it develops.

Epic news.

I literally could not breathe for half a minute. A hand held SSB... HOLY SHIT!!!!! I'm extremely excited. :3

 

[Demon_Skeith]

I knew it would come to the 3DS. I only wish they gave more details.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

Agreed.

some bad news people:

At Nintendo's E3 press event, Nintendo honco Satoru Iwata revealed that Smash Bros. was heading to the Wii U and the 3DS. There are no screenshots of the games. Nothing. That's because work on neither title has begun.

According to Smash Bros. designer Masahiro Sakurai, "Honestly, at this point, we shouldn't be announcing these games to the general public, but since we need to assemble developers for the games, we made them public."

Sakurai added that work on the games has not started, and their future is dependent on the ability of those recruited to work on the titles.

Sakurai heads up new Nintendo subsidiary Project Sora, hence the interest (and need) to recruit development staff. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was developed by a variety of studios, including Monolith Soft and Game Arts.

so currently, we won't see either of these games much before 2015.

I am so excited, I want to see the new Smash Brothers and Mario games.

Hurry up Nintendo!

*deep breath*

Ok, I'm calm now.

Well, this is amazing news- a new version of a great game, and it's portable now....but will they be able to find developers? and will it come out soon after the wii comes out, or not for a long time?

 

[Platehead]

Oh WOW, portable SSB. It'd be interesting how multiplayer could work on that. I reckon we're gonna need quite some patience, cause it's going to be on a completely different platform, and in the existing games, there are already enough loopholes in the programming that can be abused.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

Not 2015 DS, Jesus Christ. >_> More like 2013.

There isn't going to be anything substantial at this point as the developer is still working on Kid Icarus Uprising at the moment. Until that's done, there isn't going to be any work on Super Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U.
Right now it's more of a guaranteed concept than anything.

I just shat myself from excitement. I'm gonna pick up a WiiU just to play this game! Hopefully they'll improve the story mode even more. Can't wait to duke it out with all might friends. >
