Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U made its official debut appearance during the E3 Nintendo Direct.
In addition to returning characters such as Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, and Samus, the new challengers shown off were Villager, the protagonist of the Animal Crossing franchise, and Capcom's Mega Man, who fights with the powers of many classic Robot Master villains.
The 3DS version features cel-shaded graphics, while the Wii U version employs a more detailed, realistic HD visual style.
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U is scheduled for release in 2014.
UPDATE: Smash Bros adds the female Wii Fit trainer to the cast of fighters.
Just some random thoughts from myself.
Mega Man! What a perfect addition. Nice to see Rush and various power-ups in the mix too.
Did anyone else get the sense that when Tom Nook picked up Villager's Smash invitation that he intended to follow him? Nook needs to get paid!
I am, however, still baffled by the existence of the 3DS version (I just don't understand why anyone would want to play that series on a tiny screen).
Smash Bros has never really been my cup of tea, but I enjoy the spectacle of it and am looking forward to future announcements.
So they haven't revealed an official title? We went from 'Melee' to 'Brawl' to ... ?
Mega Man, yes!
I really wish the graphics of the 3DS game were the Wii U game, it looks great and the perfect style for Smash Brothers! Unfortunately, the Wii U version looks like Brawl, except maybe not quite as dark, but still, it's way too sterile. Plus, every stage looked like Brawl!I definitely like the art style of the 3DS game and an HD version of it in the Wii U game would have been great. Still, I also like the art style of Smash Bros. for Wii U which seems somewhere between Melee and Brawl. It has more detail than Melee, but doesn't go for super realistic textures like Brawl (e.g. Mario's ridiculously detailed denim). Maybe it's the palette like you said.
Not a good sign, not a good sign at all...

The gameplay was my biggest issue with Brawl anyway, and it'll probably be a while before I get a good idea of how the new one plays and what modes it has.
You see, Brawl was my first SSB game, so I'd love if it stayed in that sort of direction.Seriously, man, you and me are fucking done professionally.
And I also love the more realistic textures, especially now that we're on an HD console. Keep the cell shading for a system that couldn't handle it otherwise.3DS comparable to Wii, if not more powerful. That said, 3DS can handle the more realistic textures. Sakurai's team just decided to go the cel shaded route.

I was also one that had some tears when I saw that Megaman was announced. I laughed at myself afterwards because it's kind of a stupid thing to get teared up about. Still, even more excited for this game now and will probably get a Wii U around the time it is released.
There is a full video of Sakurai using Mega Man to battle a Nintendo Rep using Mario. Not a single trip up. It's not guaranteed but they just may have cut that silly feature out of to game.(http://i.imgur.com/eFrgVQD.jpg)
And I couldn't tell in the trailer but the game is certainly faster than Brawl. It's not Melee fast but its certainly faster paced than Brawl.
