Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Four

The Wii Sports Resort island looks like it will pretty disorienting.

I love all those expessions, CANNOT wait for the "FREE FOR ALL!"

The Kirby picture is clearly a first glimpse of a Mario Galaxy stage. The similarities are very close. The only other thing it could be is the Final Destination stage.

Peach is thinking: "My gosh, Luigi is hot!".

@DarkKirby that's a good joke

Why is Kirby not the best? Look at the SPLENDOR!

Wonder who the next announced character will be.

Few things in the world are as awesome as Kirby being Kirby.

The Pyrosphere stage. Love that stage on DOA: Dimensions

@miss_dark: part of the tradition of the series is that they usually use exact copies or clones of the places from the games they're representing in stages. With only minimal improvements. Graphics usually stay "last gen" if they can.

I thought they literally ripped the models of stages from the games they originate in. As in skyloft being the very model used in skyward sword. In brawl several of the trophies are from the actual games they appear in. Also peach is shocked in that last pic because of a curious placement of luigi's hand which the camera rightfully cuts off just enough to allude to what is going on. Mario must be pretty angry somewhere.

I hope we get Lucina.

@DarkKirby LOL!

@DarkKirby

"Lucky Daisy."

@robertman2

Exactly, not Marth, Lucina.

@ThomasBW84

Both the WiiU and 3DS versions have the same maps right? Wuhu Island looks amazing!

The first one gets my vote. You gotta love fighters' expressions on a plane

I love Peach's HD design! She looks taller/ more grown up.

@DarkKirby And look where Luigi is staring. That's what he is thinking about. And the kirby one is my favorite.

"Luigi, you look amazing"!

"I tip my crown to you".

I saw that Shocked Peach and Luigi yesterday on the official website...
I need to play this game now...

@WinterWarm Nope. Stages are the primary difference between the two versions. They'll have the same characters, but stages will not be the same.

@DestinyMan they hinted at the titles having seperate releases with the 3ds giving them trouble with certain characters like ice climbers. I doubt they hold back the wii u version which desperately needs this title.

The Kirby one is the best one, no question.

There Really should be a Mario Galaxy stage

Kirby, because that one just looks neat, I like night sky backgrounds, and was uploaded on my birthday!

Princess Peach with the crown in hand.. = Awesome.. though it was tough.. to choose between that and Kirby.. (I do love Kirby)

@Yosher Happy late birthday!
Anyways these pictures look pretty awesome! Though the Kirby one excites me for a Galaxy stage.

No hope whatsoever for the 3% that voted "don't like any of them" lol. That plane stage is friekin awesome! So is the Metroid stage...

i should hope the roster is larger than Brawl's. Brawl had a pretty nice roster.

Yep, this is going to be a solid classic!

Despite the lack of some 3DS love, I can't help but love the Pilotwings/Wuhu one, if only because this is going to be the new Delfino Plaza.

Yes! A Super Mario Galaxy stage would be awesome!! Fighting in little planetoids and you can jump/float on different ones some of them with enemies. Or maybe a big planet and you can move around the planet or even upside down! It would be great.

It would be great if they released the main themes of the SSB4 and MK8 trailers so we can endure the wait.

I need to stop looking at these...too many new stage spoilers, but it's so hard to resist! I voted for the pyrosphere stage.

Other M is so underrated...

The Wuhu island map looks amazing!

Umm, the title says "3ds screens", but I couldn't find any :<

Kirby: "Poyo poyyo!"^X

^X"It's hammer time!" Or "mallet" depending on how you view it.

Hoping for Peaches trade mark "Down B Attack"!

This is getting more and more disappointing, and by that I mean the screenshots and character revelations; it was OBVIOUS that olimar and luigi were going to be in smash 4, olimar due to the release of pikmin 3 and luigi because he is mothereffing luigi and also an smash bros. founder, and now this, peach (one of the most obvious characters to return). What's the next big reveal? I REALLY REALLY WONDER if zelda, ganondorf or yoshi will be included in the next game.

The only thing worth noting about these announcements is the fact that they keep revealing more stages, and that's it.

The Kirby one, definitely. I can only imagine what that attack is named... Galaxy Hammer, Big Bang Wallop, Shooting Mallet are all quite fitting.

Ehh a little disappointed with the graphics. It just looks like brawl on dolphin emulator, nothing special. Wish they made it way better looking since the Wii U has more power than what there showing

Peach: "Luigi, there's something behind you..."
Luigi: "Aw, crap."

Starting now I'm gonna try and make more effort in avoiding reveals, though. The Smash Bros. Dojo did Brawl a huge disservice by revealing eeeeveeeerrrryyyythiiiiiiiing before launch, which left very, very few surprises (if any). So I'll try and avoid that.

just bring the damn games for the wii U!!

@BAGBOY this game is so far away, so they're revealing characters slowly. I really don't know what's the trouble. You don't want Luigi or Peach in? All in due time.

@dumedum If you read the comment with utter care and attention, that's not what I originally meant at all. I didn't say I don't want them in, on the contrary, they are classic nintendo characters and therefore, they are MANDATORY in smash 4, my complain is that they keep revealing characters that EVERYBODY on the planet know will make a return on the next smash brothers game; and I know the game is still in development, but unlike the pokemon company, their reveals are pretty lame and boring (except the first trailers and announcements they made at e3), the next character to be revealed to make a return will be yoshi, WOW, didn't see that coming like, at all.

If they revealed that sonic and snake will remain on the roster alongside megaman, the new pokemon replacing lucario or pokemon trainer, the BIG reveal and screenshots of chrom finally taking on marth in smash brothers or isaac and little mac switching from assist trophies to fighters, THAT would be announcements everyone expect to be legendary.

Maybe Peach and Luigi saw Mario getting his butt kicked by a tag-team of Bowser and Mega Man?

Peach: "You mean all this time Bowser WASNT taking me away from the mushroom kingdom castle so you and mario do plumbing?"
Luigi: "We do plumbing?!"

I can not help but to read every comment and it is wasting so much of my time...
But in any case, It was a hard pick, I enjoy all these characters but the one with the plane and the one with peach/luigi where the best in my opinion. I noticed there was a small quarrel over the character revelation, The creators are revealing the characters fittingly. actually I think they might be going a bit to fast. The game comes out next summer! Let's leave the entertaining surprises for that time. Am I correct in saying this? What do YOU think?
