Years of wailing have paid off: Nintendo just announced a new entry in the Super Smash Bros. series is coming to the 3DS.
Not only that, it will also launch on Nintendo's next home console, the Wii U.
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata made the announcement on stage at E3, where he also revealed that the 3DS and Wii U games will be cross compatible in some way, though as the game is still only very, very early in development not much more was revealed.
Still, portable Smash Bros. in 3D? That'll do nicely.

expect to see that next year...
Or The Year Thereafter
Or indeed after several companies release tons of shovelware. Again.
Or when the world ends. Again.
I predict it will keep getting delayed multiple times over a 2 year span.
Amwesome
orgasmic news.
THE game i was sure to never see on my 3DS. and they confirmed it !
craps me pants
Looks like Nintendo took my advice on cross-compatability
Gives Nintendo a 1Up for being such a good listener
I had the biggest smile when Iwata announced this. I cannot wait for this!
(Hears announcement about new Smash Bros.)
YYEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!
(Hears that no trailer is made yet)
...STILL YES!!!!
This makes me wonder...where´s pikin 3?
"Coming into your hands"
...That was unexpected O.O (might wanna edit that. anybody?)
P.S. AWESOME NEW SMASH BROS AHGBAJGJABJGAADA
Ahem,
F*** YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smash 3DS. Finally a reason to buy the 3DS. Now give me three more reasons and I might actually buy it.
I'll get the wii U version since smash bros. is better suited for home consoles for easier local multi-player.
I'll be sticking with the Wii U version. The thought of playing it on a handheld doesn't feel right.
How will I know where to play it!?!?!?
This couldn't come soon enough...
I'll take both
They've already shown that the system will support 5 player multiplayer but will it support 8... Honestly I'd trust it on either platform but don't expect for at least 3 years considering Project Sora hasn't even finished Uprising.
I think I just went into a coma. TWO NEW Smash Bros. games?????!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Ooooooooooo xD
stunnninnnggg!!!
but i would expect it ...the 3ds is suprising us every day:)
"Years of wailing have paid off"
Well, years....Brawl was only a short time ago. It wouldn't be good if we got a new version every year!
But I am happy that it will be back, and I am really hoping for a big graphical leap (speaking about the wii u version)!
Awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Smash Bros but I do enjoy them and will probably pick up the 3DS version. My brother is going to freak though, he's spent countless hours playing Melee and Brawl.
I love how crazy the crowd went as soon as he said "Smash Brothers".
Finally, a smash bros for a handheld... even after all those people told me it would never happen it's finally here!!! And from the looks of the picture it looks like Mewtwo will once again be joining the fight.
@3Dgamer
That's a picture of Melee, methinks.
New Smash Bros., you say? Awesome. I wonder what look Samus will sport in this one, Prime Trilogy or Other M... perhaps both will be offered? That would be swell...
All styles for Samus would be cool. I like where this is going. I knew they would make another one. I was smart for selling Brawl when I did months ago.
The picture is Melee but I would like to see Mewtwo return.
The picture is Melee but I would like to see Mewtwo return.
Awesome.
I wonder how it would look like on the 3DS? .-.
i hope they have DLC!
The cross play that was hinted at is just freaking awesome!
I am crying tears of joy after hearing this wonderful news.
Good idea to have cross-platform play, but I think I'll stick with the Wii U version. Hopefully we'll find out more soon.
Cross play is probably the most exciting feature I've seen with the WiiU. I would be very excited if you saw the kind of connect-ability PS3 and Vita will have.
If the gameplay is melee-esque, this will be a day one buy for me. Long live Melee.
Could it be, a Smash Bros with decent online at last?
@Sushi You aren't picky, now are you? (Admittedly, you have a point, but the way you presented your opinion is what I'm picking on here.)
Regardless, I'm happy. I'll probably end up getting both games since I'm a huge Smash Bros. fan.
just like v8 ninja i will buy both versions
Oh boy... I really don't think the Cpad is ready for that kind of abuse though I LOVE the idea of portable SSB. I may just wait for the console version but... we'll see.
Booouuuh. Smash Bros clearly is a stationary console franchise. They do a big mistake there.
From a marketing standpoint, it's actually not that dumb limit the full Pokemon experience to handhelds. If the they unlock Smash Bros to handheld, Nintendo's home consoles will lose a big system seller in the long run...
@Traxx
No... stop typing, this rules.
Also, who wants to bet there will be exclusive characters for both the 3DS and Wii U that can ONLY be unlocked (on the other) in you have both editions and sync them together? Damn it, looks like I'll have to get a 3DS after all, curse my love for this ONE game!!!
Nothing can describe how happy I am right now. Cannot wait to hear the character roster.
Can't wait, Hope you can make your own characters (Like Miis)
I was so high in that moment , that I thought I was dreaming.
That one, ill be preordering for 3ds as ASAP! Oh, and "Traxx", you have no Idea what you're talking about. It will be great. And last, those of you without a profile picture, GET ONE! C'mon! Any picture of Link or Mario will do.
We need custom characters. Make a mii or something, equip it with a move set, and then exchange and trade them over Nintendo wifi. If done right it could work out really well.
This is going to be so awesome. I love playing brawl so this will be even better. I'm looking very forward to the new stages and characters they.have. And I like the sound of crossing over to the 3DS. The possibilities are endless.
i am writeing this on my 3ds and this is the second best thing i have herd of. i am a big smash bros fan i play melee and brawl on my wii and i love them. i also like to play them with my brothers... my smash brothers lol... this news is awsome!!!
