All my want...
YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! This is AWESOME! So many expectations about this game... New characters.... New courses...... New ETC. ETC. ETC.!!!! And hopefully a better story mode....
I WANNA WII U!!!....GOOD THING I HAVE A 3DS!!!!!
Gonna get both the Wii U & 3DS version!
This is the only reason I'm going to buy a wii u, and wind waker hd...and zelda hd...etc
omg plz i want so bad
i have the brawls one and i rather choose the wii u one
I won't buy the wii U till this comes out
anyone is worried about the system online for this game?
WHY? WHY!! Why Nintendo can have a system online like the others systems!? I am not denigrated Nintendo, I was always a fan of this company since Nintedo 64; but , with the Wii (no games for fan, not online open world for games like smash bros,) i was hope than the wii u changes the direction, but now , I don't have hope no more
What I want:
Good Online Multiplayer
Better Map Editor
More unique skins with Achievements to unlock them
Waluigi
Megaman! So excited for this!
Wish I had a Wii U now. Actually, really jealous for those who have one.
it's not a tentative title. That's what it's called.
abe should be playable!!!
WOW!!! I love the new characters and the other characters look AWSOME!!!
what's with the Wii Fit trainer in the first screenshot?!
Toon Link puh-leez!!❤ And Tetra!!
@Rojopojo
She's a confirmed, playable character. (Though, you probably already know this).
Can't wait. If you plan on getting this follow/friend me on Miiverse! My NNID is Prof3ssorMGW.
If your a Smash Player w/ Facebook then you can message me for matches (while at the same time staying updated on SBB4 + tournaments) here: http://www.facebook.com/SSBWIIU3DS
I want to play as PIT, Samus, Mega Man, Bowser & Luigi (Ghost Hunter)
Is it just me, or does this seem to be... more cartoony then brawl. Not that I really care, just an observation. e.g. Mario.
Isaac for Smash Bros !
alright so stoked for this game but there's a slight problem I have and its that people want all these characters in the game that no one really knows. They should keep all the characters from brawl and focus mainly about Nintendo characters like(bowser jr.,toad,etc.).Also they should have like a little bit of characters from other game companies like sonic, knuckles(sega),
pac-man(Namco)...and I get that its supposed to be about the all these fighters from the universe or what not but they should focus on characters that are popular(Mario, Luigi, sonic, Megaman, pac-man, etc.) People want characters from all these games no one ever heard about and I hate to play the game with a character I don't know.it ruins the fun of the game.I hope when super smash bros universe comes out the character roster would be fun for everyone.
Maybe they will keep the original sercet characters like Luigi Ness Purin and Captian Falcon! But I hope to see Toon Link with a unique move set from Big Link and a different Final Smash. Same with Tetra if they can.
I hope we see a lot of new characters i also want online multiplayer
Marth Toon link Sonic. Rank online multiplayer IM GOOD
@smash123 having paper mario and classic sonic would be nice 2. Wh0 the quackerduck wants Wii fit trainer ?
Watch the language -Lz
@Action4jackson why would you want classic sonic if this game is 2d so if they add sonic why would they add classic sonic but i hope paper mario is in the game so good idea
All these game will leave me with no money I'LL HAVE LESS MONEY THAN NEEDED TO BUY THESE! This is terrible.
I hope Sonic is in this game.
@atc100 Sonic has to be in the game for it to be complete.
sonic is in
i have a request for super smas bros for 3ds and wii u its 2 characters leonardo from teenage mutant ninja turtles but do the artwork from the nickelodeon series and i want a character that returns is lucario from pokemon i love you nintendo thank you! the leonardo character thats going to be a new super smash bros character a newcomer.
PLEASE ADD TAILS NINTENDO!!!
Nintendo bring back characters from mele like Roy or doctor mario
Ganondorf has to be in this game
You should also add in animal the muppet
Omg can't wait Hurry up with release date grrr
This game looks awesome
YOW-ZEE!!! We're gettin'-a Smash Bros. direct this fine Tuesday!
Smash is the king of fighting games! Great cast of characters, stages, and fans. There newcomers are ok ( little mac was the best new one beside megaman ) and there still adding more! With so many outside characters making an appearance, who's next! I personally wanna see Simon Belmont from castlevania, if megaman can make it in, why not him? ( zero from megaman x series is my second character I want in )
@Rojopojo I like your avatar.
i just hoping that falcon will be back on the new super smash bros Wii u so please if you can take out mister game luggage and put falcon back on the new game coming i gonna appreciated that very much fox is not completed without falcon so please falcon needs to be back MR. Sakuray don't forget about falcon

Sakuray don't forget about falcon
The problem with this game is that the wii u isn't worth it, I want super smash bros but nothing else. I might not be getting this one
Gonna save up my eShop Balance ($41.29) for Christmas! Only $18.70 short of purchasing it on the Wii U eShop since it'll be $59.99! It'll be worth the wait once I save up some cash for a $20 eShop Card within a few months time!
@Fade Very true.
@Fade That's just really wrong. Wii U has a few great games and more is coming.
Pff. The Wii U was worth it just for Mario Kart 8 alone for me. I get plenty of enjoyment out of the system. In fact, I play it quite a bit more than I did the original Wii.
I after I get the 3DS version I'm preordering this before it can go out of stock.I've been so pumped to play this since it was announced.
The Hype is real a week to go!
my nnid is tommyrox893 I have this game somebody add me?
I absolutely love this game. Definitely, the best Wii U game so far.
I MOSTLEY PLAY AS VILLAGER AND MIIS I LOVE THIS GAME
A few more days before Mewtwo arrives
Bit of a safe bet, your top ten. Not many third party games included.
I would have removed Wind Waker since its not really a Wii u game and replaced it with Lego City.
I'm laughing abbot at the people who thought this website is created by Nintendo. I was happy with the roster as soon as Roy was added.
Super Smash Bros 4 Is Awesome!
The best fighting game EVER.
I like SSBU and SBB Brawl
I know people
:/ hahahah carzy me
crazy* spelling mistake
The one main thing the Wii U Version has over the 3DS Version is the superior graphics. The Wii U Version comes with its own Pros and Cons, as there are more (and arguably) better stages, especially with Battlefield, You can create your own stages like in Smash Bros Brawl, has rather fun mini-games, even a board like game featuring your Miis. Heck you can even battle on the Wii U through your 3DS.
Aside from not having my personal favorite features such as Smash Run from 3DS, this game should have the same amount of fun you may find on the 3DS Version.
