@pyrodactyl: I mean, Mario Kart 8 is kind of a big deal.

Super Smash Bros. Coming Out This Year
People still care about Smash Brothers?
...that was my second thought too. It might be a sign I'm jaded about the whole thing but I am not feeling the hype at all. Its like the announcement on The Last of Us on the PS4: Nice but not a surprise and pretty far from "OMG!" territory.
People still care about video games? And on a website about video games no less? That is shocking. :P
Hello hyperbole.
Looking at this message board over the last several weeks (maybe even months) people are obsessed about other things. The only mention of Smash Bros. was that "Project M" thing. Forgive me if I thought people had moved onto other things. Forgive me if I am skeptical about people going "This is awesome!" because as far as I could tell no one here was thinking about it.
As someone into the smash scene, trust me when I say people do care about this. Just because one message board don't talk about a game don't mean no one is.
@joshthevaliant: you can't use custom characters online though, so its basically useless
What a weirdly edited video.
How so?
Poor choice for them to release this on the 3DS first in terms of sales. If they released it the other way around, it may have been an incentive for some people to go out and buy a Wii U.
How is exactly is that? The 3DS version will likely act as a "demo" and raise awareness of the franchise among the Internet jaded and Nintendo newcomers alike after the mixed Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
The full game will not really act as a demo, considering the only real differences between version is supposedly visual fidelity. I say it's a bad move because a ton of people already own the 3DS, who will probably have zero interest in picking up a Wii U if they already own the game on a device they own. Unless the 3DS version is garbage, it will probably satiate a vast number of peoples desires for a new SSB. But if it released the other way around, it could have been a great way to incentivize people to buy a Wii U and play it there first.
@corruptedevil: I guess you could take that stance. A For Lulz mode would be potentially interesting, but it would be in a Just Cause Multiplayer or a Salty Bets sort of way. Playing with settings and shenanigans in local multiplayer where everyone knows it's gonna be weird seems like the best way to implement it.
Strike that: allowing you to save multiple custom profiles and share them online in the Miiverse seems like the best implementation. Fingers crossed.
It's crazy that's it's coming out way earlier on 3DS considering the character parody etc. :/
You also think they would want to push the Wii U version more??
It'll encourage people to buy both games. If they launched on the same day, I wouldn't get the 3DS one. As it turns out, it looks like I'll have to buy the 3DS one as well because I'm not that patient.

One thing to keep in mind is that SSB is a pretty popular 'couch multiplayer' game. Unless you're part of a group where every one of your friends has a 3DS and a copy of Smash, you're still going to wish you had the WiiU version. Heck, you might want it anyway, because sharing the same screen is way more fun than everyone being separated across the room.
Keeping the 'couch multiplayer' point in mind, I'd actually argue that the 3DS version will largely only appeal to the hardcore gotta-play-it-now Smash fan (who may well buy both). For everyone else who remembers the fond days of playing Melee with their friends, I'd think they would scoff at the notion of playing it on a handheld.

When I stated that the 3DS version acts as a demo I am definitely speaking more to the fact that Smash Bros. has historically been a local multiplayer game. The 3DS will serve as a cash cow for Nintendo and a testing ground for balance changes implemented in the WiiU version later. If the 3DS version is totally fucked, Nintendo can pass the buck and say the "real version" is due out this Fall. That would obviously be stupid, but it is a strategy nonetheless.

How are these two situations even remotely comparable? This wasn't a reveal announcement. And yes, plenty of people care about Smash Brothers. Pretty silly to post a comment like that, considering that almost everyone commenting on the article would have to care about it to some degree.
Ah yes final destination mode where everyone who uses it is automatically flagged as an asshole. Seriously why is the community for these games so damn toxic.
Why are you so opposed to giving people more options? Don't like that mode, don't play it.
SIMON BELMONT: he would be awesome he could have whip attack as normal special and hold to manuver whip in all directions, he could grappel opponents and items far away and throw them or slam them his side special could bea different attack each time interchangeable by using his up taunt which changes weapon could be fist smash character to do so and could throw holy water,cross boomerang and down special could be dlames come out from all under him and up special could be an axe his down smash could be him wrap his whip around his arm for a deadly down punch upwards smash could feature a fiery uppercut that can be charged for more power as well as a recovery move that allows him to double jump and grappling the edge with his whip like link he could have final smash as 1000 whips hitting opponents also hit attack button continuously makes him whip others very fast like meta knight hed be pretty epic!
SON GOKU:
thatd be awesome just take out his flying and instead have him rely on short bursts of flying and also have hime use instant transmission to dodge and appear behind or as a teleportation give him fast attacks a kamehameha for special a spirit bomb as a charge attack like samus he can have destructo disc for side b his smash attack down would send opponents flying downwards and stick to the ground like donkey kongs pound move that leavs opponent stuck in ground his up special could then have hime launch opponent upward and have him teleport up to do downward smash up to four consecutive times unless opponent recovers have him charge up aura the more damaged he is his shield could be orange like dragon balls color he could grab opponents and then throw them down or accross the stage(gets stronger the more damage he takes)also can take only one senzu bean as a taunt to give him a 25 percent health only once per match could have smash attack of super saiyan 3 goku or super saiyan 2 or super saiyan 4 depending on how much damage was recieved suring the match if high critical damage(very rare) u get stongest super saiyan 4 form you fly infinitely and are always super powered aura and attacks much stronger(strength increase depends on form he would be epic!
@gonzalo_barriga: This isn't Miiverse, dude.
