    First game didn't have one of course but then came Super Smash Bros. Melee and then Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

    Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS are coming out very soon. I wonder if they keep these lame ass names or will they come up with something like SSB: Rumble or whatever.

    I don't know, Super Smash Bros. Fo(u)r seems fine to me.

    It's only a week and 9 days away, so I don't know. It will probably be an Apple thing and people will just add a word to the name to reference it.

    They better change the names of those games. Of course Nintendo has an odd history of adding dumb shit to the names of their games (64, Wii, DS, U.) At least adding Super to the title works and sounds badass.

    That's no longer true. Both versions are coming out later this year, in the fall/holiday season.

    Anyway, I agree that it's very strange that they don't really have any title beyond "Smash Bros. for Wii U" and "Smash Bros. for 3DS". I genuinely thought they would finally reveal the title at E3 this year, so now that they haven't, I just don't understand what they're doing.

    Wow, I was under the impression that it was called Super Smash Bros. U for some reason. I guess it is kinda strange that they haven't given it a subtitle. Maybe they are trying to reboot it?

    In marketing it's Super Smash Bros. For WiiU/3DS. I would be totally fine with SSB:Revengeance with guest character Jetstream Sam though.

    Nope, pretty sure they already confirmed that they won't be changing the names. They're terrible names, but I guess it makes sense for them to keep them.

    @thunderslash The subtitles are " For Wii U " and " For Nintendo 3DS. " On the box art and everything.

    Why not Super Smash Bros U and Super Smash Bros 3D if they need to keep the console association in the title for whatever dumb marketing reason.

    So do you think they have some design for box art ready for retailers? That box art from June 10th looks almost final? And can't they add something else by maybe a month before production?

    No. SSB for Wii U and SSB for Nintendo 3DS are their final names.

    They're silly, but it makes some sense. They want to differentiate the versions, make it clear to average joes which one is which, and drive home the point that YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GET A WII U TO PLAY THIS FANCY VERSION, PLEASE.

    Oh man this really sucks. Doesn't change the game in any way of course but still very lame choice of name. For a series that is as crazy and full of fanservice you expect better. I rather a stupid name rather than a lame or lazy one.

    Yup, no actual subtitle beyond "For WiiU" and "For 3DS". Such a bummer. There are still plenty of perfectly useful synonyms out there...like SUPER SMASH BROS. ALTERCATION

    A title like Smash Bros Riot would have been awesome. :(

    Wait, I know, Super Smash Bros. Brouhaha!

    Smash Bros. (Wii U) & (3ds) Cause that's the system you bought it on. In case you forget. Thanks Nintendo.

    It'd be kinda cool if the title was simply "Smash." That's what my buddies and I always called it when we were ready to play it.

    Yep. All you had to say was: "Wanna play some Smash?". Then everyone runs to get the only two Gamecube controllers we had.
