super smash bros

Get in on the action for the next two days before they move on to the Pokémon Omega Ruby demo.

Nintendo's got a Direct livestream planned for October 23rd that supposedly shows us fifty new things in Wii U Smash. My body is ready.

We've known for some time that the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. would be different from the 3DS version, but Nintendo's been pretty quiet about what changes we'll see. Thankfully, Amazon's spilled at least some of the beans. Looks like we're getting a stage creator utilizing the GamePad, Master and Crazy Hand challenges, and a board game mode.

Nintendo announced a November 21, 2014 release date for Super Smash Bros for Wii U today, with Amiibo figures for Mario, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Fox, Samus, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Pikachu, Kirby and Marth at launch. Another set will launch in December that includes Zelda, Diddy Kong, Luigi, Little Mac, Pit and Captain Falcon. The Amiibo figurines have a suggested retail price of $12.99.



Meanwhile, Nintendo also announced that Captain Toad's treasure tracking adventure begins on December 5, 2014. No delay here!

Youtuber Master0fHyrule put together this comparison of veteran character final smash attacks between Brawl and Smash 4.

Though its unconfirmed for the US, a 3DS XL Smash bundle is looking pretty likely thanks to this Walmart Ad spotted by NeoGAF user Kriken. Why you would get a 3DS bundle now, with the New 3DS on the horizon, I don't know, but at least you can have a sweet Smash old 3DS.
