I also have to confess, though briefly on the Wii.

Tonight's Nintendo Direct runs for 30 minutes.

Lifelong Nintendo fan, never played it either lol. I guess the genre doesn't appeal to me.

Anyone unsure about the game will be able to make an informed decision very soon - we're going to get an extensive look at the game tonight.

The presentation will be all over the net to watch in the morning, if watching live 11pm to 11.30pm doesn't tickle your pickle.

Graphically it looks sweet, will be interesting to see if they add/reveal anymore crossover characters, in the same vein as Sonic and Megaman.
Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza would be pretty sweet.

Instant purchase for me. Loved Melee and kind of liked Brawl

Smash Bros was the reason I kept my wii for about 2 years without playing it "just incase"!

3DS version released Summer 2014 and Wii U version Winter 2014.

That seems like another wii u mistep from Nintendo. Surely it would have been better to have a joint release. The hype for a new smash bros will have died down considerably by the time it is available for the wii u.

Murray · 8 Apr 2014 at 23:16

I agree, it seems stupid to have split releases.

I'm a bit bemused by that decision, surely it should be the other way around? Release it on the console that needs to sell units first not the one that doesn't.

Zefan · 8 Apr 2014 at 23:19

Maybe they're figuring that it will sell on 3DS regardless of release timing, but the Wii U release would do better with a release initially boosted by Christmas sales? Probably completely reverse logic but hey, who knows, this is Nintendo after all

Indeed, the 3ds hardly desperate needs smash bros to boost sales.

Its nice that they realised people like to play the game competitively but the For Glory mode being Final Destination only? really? They didn't want Smash Bros to be played competitively before and now they are trying to tell you how to play it competitively
