The overall theme to today's Nintendo Direct was regarding Smash Bros. for the Wii U, and all fifty facts (plus a couple of extras!) are listed below. Did you have a good feeling about most of these already, or were you stunned about some of today's reveals? Let us know in the comments below!

1. The fighters in Smash Bros. for 3DS will move over to the Wii U version with the same moves.

2. The resolution difference between the 3DS and Wii U is major. The Wii U version will have higher resolutions in HD.

#13- I hope that you can edit the amount of health you have.
#49- Extremely disappointing and pretty pointless

That was one seriously badass Direct...and it made it pretty clear just how shitty the 3DS version of Smash really is by comparison (I especially loved the condescending soft voice the announcer always used referring to the 3DS version). Credit to Nintendo: they actually brought their A game for once. The new stages in particular look great.

[marvel_moviefan_2012]

I am actually impressed with how much work they have put into this game. I am almost starting to get a little hyped for it.

[Adrock]

That was one seriously badass Direct...and it made it pretty clear just how shitty the 3DS version of Smash really is by comparison

Yeah, by comparison. It's still pretty loaded.

[ClexYoshi]

Nah, I don't think the announcement of the Nintendo Direct is worthy of Super Saiyan Coach. I'm sure there will be plenty of news on Thursday that will warrant that .gif. For now,

I think Nintendo earned their Super Saiyan Coach.

[Spak-Spang]

Come on,


Let's not bash a portable version of a beloved game.  It looks great, and plays great.  But there will have to be compromises.  And Nintendo seems to be willing to dedicate some extra time and download content to this game.


The stuff that I liked most are probably the same as everyone else.


1) DLC confirmed.  New stages and characters are possible.  This is great, and it means that we can be loving Smash for a long time.  My guess is, that only characters that can be done on both the 3DS and Wii U version will be downloadable...so many no Ice Climbers.  A good way for Nintendo to handle the DLC would be through buying new Amiibo statues.  Get a new character and some new stages and items.  But they should also allow for non-amiibo users to get the downloads.


2) The Stage Editor returns, and it is easier and looks more fun than ever.   I loved the idea of the stage editor in Brawl because you could make some seriously silly death traps.  Hopefully, this one will still give you plenty of options. 


3) Voice Chat is perfectly implemented.  I don't want to slow down my fight.  But I love quickly talking to my friends about stages and options.


4)  8 Player Brawl!!!! 

[Wah]

There's nothing wrong with the 3DS version of the game! THE ONLINE WORKS!
But let's face the facts of cause the console version's going to be better... It's a god damn console game compared to a handheld! Who do you think would win?
 
Jeezus....

[Luigi Dude]

I think Nintendo earned their Super Saiyan Coach.

[Enner]

I expected the Wii U game to be superior in content, but it is staggering how much more stuff there is in the Wii U version.


The Mewtwo DLC and the features that won't be ready at launch worry me. The latter because it might allude to the game launching in a more raw state than I would like. The former because Nintendo might bungle on how they offer it to those who choose not to buy both version of Smash Bros. 4. Given how Nintendo has handled premium DLC recently (Mario Golf 3DS, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors), I expect them to have a fair offer for Mewtwo.

[Shaymin]

Because Smash Wii U had to make holiday, this game is coming in molten. If you took a drink every time they said "this feature is not ready yet", you were at least buzzed.

[lolmonade]

My only disappointment in this direct was that there wasn't a reveal video for you know who.
 
I'd be more inclined to get the 3DS version now more because of the soundtrack offer than Mewtwo, to be honest.  I'm not complaining about an addition of a new character, and i'm sure they'll offer Mewtwo as separate purchasable DLC (with others), but those soundtracks sure are appealing.

[Ceric]

42. The Wii LAN adapter will be compatible with the Wii U.

That really isn't anything new.  Especially since I've been using one since the launch.

43. Automatic notifications are here for the latest Smash Bros. updates.

Also not new.

Most of the others are pretty interesting.  I will say 8 Player Smash is probably thanks to the 3DS version.

For 'Number 32' it wasn't mentioned in the video that you could use two adapters. Is this confirmed somewhere else?

[marvel_moviefan_2012]

Yes on the official website, here is the article. http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry10.html

Also mentioned in another thread but there you go.

[xcwarrior]

So much amazingness and all on the disc.

And this is why I think it's a travesty that annualized game make you buy season passes after you already dropped $60 on a game, and the game is only good for 12 months.

Well done Sakauri. Now where's the time machine to Nov. 21?

KINDA PUTS THE NO ICE CLIMBER THING INTO PERSPECTIVE NOW, DOESN'T IT NERDS.

Nice, thanks!

After the whole "can be used in games that support the Pro Controller" debacle, I wanted to be sure.

[Mop it up]

Not bad, there's less filler here than I was expecting.

having Pac-Man alone makes up for cutting any character BUT Mario at this point.
