During the Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct event today, Nintendo announced Masterpieces, a mode that allows players to explore the fighters' origins by playing bite-sized versions of classic Nintendo titles.
Masterpieces plays out like a boss rush, with a time limit for each game. The titles range from Pilot Wings to Wrecking Crew, F-Zero to Metroid. The games are designed to be accessible, with quick startups and pre-installed save data. It's unclear just how much of each classic game will be included in Smash Bros for Wii U, but there's a quick link to the Nintendo eShop for anyone who wants to purchase the entire package.
