Every Super Smash Bros. game has become a staple of a Nintendo console's library, and the fourth iteration will prove no different. Now on both home and portable, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS & Wii U are almost guaranteed system sellers. Having first been formally announced at E3 2013, the anticipation has built up more and more until today, April 8, when a Super Smash Bros. Direct was released, detailing the specifics (60 fps for 3DS version!) and giving release periods (see thread title).

With Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS coming out in the coming months, the time has come for a fresh start and a new thread. The old thread is here.

No, Waluigi is not playable. Please understand.

Online modes

Smash online with anyone, friend or not
Smashing with friends lets you use customizable movesets

For Fun - items, no Final Destination, only wins count
For Glory - no items, Final Destination Only, wins and losses count

Global Smash Power - determines how many players you are better than, as opposed to your rank overall.

Amiibo
Much like Skylanders and Disney Infinity, you can put little figurines near your controller and they come to life. They will be non-playable characters that will adapt to gameplay.

3DS Exclusives
Smash Run - Multiplayer Metroidvania where, after five minutes of exploring and getting power-ups, you fight each other.

MIIVERSE POSTINGS
From Monday to Friday, Sakurai will post a picture on Miiverse (later on smashbros.com). These can range anywhere from 'New character: Pac-Man' to 'Mario standing'. You never know what he'll post next, and that's half the excitement!

THINGS NOT TO DO IN THIS THREAD
Casual vs. competitive bitching. It's only a video game, guys. Also, we have a designate Project:M thread.

Oh, and talk about the first three games as well.

Adding Greninja instead of Hawlucha is the only bad thing I've heard about this game so far. So it looks pretty good!

Are you going to be able to play online with more than one person? It'd be nice to fight with 4 humans but still be able to play with my brother.

And with that we can go back to discussing pseudo-confirmations of Falcon and Wario, Alfonzo edits, and the City Trial Metroidvania.

I didn't watch the stream but this sounds like a really good way to keep things chill and a good compromise between E-SPORTS and the rest of us. Of course I'm getting the 3ds version only since I don't have a Wii U, so, really, who's really going to care there.

You may want to update the OP to indicate that Zelda, Shiek, Samus, and ZSS are all distinct characters now.

Honestly that alone is probably the smartest thing they could've done for online play. Don't get me wrong, people are still going to cry for years and years about how Melee is better but I feel we've grown to tune those voices out.

Pokemon-wise, I just want a Grass starter in to balance the others out. Venusaur or Chesnaught would be just as good. If Blastoise joined in as a Mega, that'd be just fine.

You could do as such in Brawl, so chances are pretty likely.

I think Smash Run is the thing I'm the most excited for. I spent hours and hours playing City Trial in Kirby Air Ride, and it's great to see a spiritual successor.

There will be no more Pokemon, other than maybe Jigglypuff, but I'm doubting it

Really curious to see the changes to All-Star mode, considering ATs factor into them heavily now.

For those complaining about the heels on ZSS, they existed in Other M and were terrible, but at least they're now somewhat functional by being jets.

The Palutena fake-out got me good, and when the newcomer trailer showed the cloudy sky I expected it to be her because of it.

Love wire-frame Mac. Great costume, not just for unique look but for it's callback to the original arcade entry.

Same reason Charizard is in instead of the other gen 1 starters; the internet loves him more.

Presumably to give a representative from the most current generation. As for why Greninja specifically, well Greninja rules.

They're distinct. There are no more transformation characters (Shiek and Zero Suit Samus are distinct from Zelda and Samus, too.)

Everyone is a distinct trainer. There are no character that transform like Zelda/Shiek, Samus/ZSS, and Pokemon Trainer.

I'm personally hoping for Palutena and longshot-pick Bandana Dee.

Yeah, I know, no chance in hell on the latter. But he's been in all the recent Kirby games, has a pretty fleshed out moveset in Returns to Dream Land, and would explain DeDeDe losing his Waddle Dee projectile sponges.

No more form change characters, so each character can have a full and powerful moveset. Also probably caused issues with the 3DS version, I remember from a Kotaku article suggesting the Koopa Kids that multi-characters were giving them issues.

I also wouldn't put Elecman as being the only assist trophy for Megaman. Sakurai has said in a few interviews Capcoms been very easy to work with and open to stuff - where as normally 3rd party coordination can be difficult because meeting what they want while also trying to do your own thing. The fact we saw the Metools and other Megaman forms shows Capcom is pretty onboard with anything, yet not a Badnik in sight!

You'll get a DLC costume if you're lucky. Nintendo has made it clear for years now that it has never cared about Raichu.

Glory mode being FD-only is kinda lame since the tournament scene hasn't played exclusively on FD in...well, ever. Battlefield is more common, even in Melee.

Also the fact that you can be banned in For Fun mode because you overly targeted certain players is the most :psyduck: thing.

At least there's some variety with the FD now.

With everyone talking about which Poke they would have preferred, I would have loved Sylveon, but Greninja is alright.
