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

Sonic's ring count will be 0 once he touches Bowser's spiky shell.

Yay, more 3DS screenshots! The 3DS version is looking so good! I just knew they'd pull out the 3DS's full power for SSB!

I like this format better, as it keeps Sakurai's comments.

Happy to see Bowser in action, ever since they added him he has been my favorite.

That picture of Fox getting struck by Link looks gorgeous.. I'm really liking that red/black low health/strong hit effect. Hopefully it isn't too obnoxious though.

I like the first photo - very God of War arena. Best looking one Ive seen so far.

Ensure it doesn't look like a real gun.

Still, seriously? What year do you think it is? I'm not so much surprised as much as still upset, we are talking about Nintendo who discontinued messaging services THAT STILL REQUIRE FRIEND CODES TO USE because people were sending others "inappropriate content". Snake having only explosives when it is actually explicitly stated in the Metal Gear games he prefers guns over any other form of combat, how long are you going to treat your audience like idiots Nintendo? Not that it makes a huge difference unless there is a gun specific character that's getting screwed over, but whether the gun looks real shouldn't matter, this is a game with swords, bombs, lasers, and is about beating up other characters, yet a gun is "going too far"?

@DarkKirby Er... is it because of that they designed the gun like that? I think not...

@DarkKirby They don't want it to look like a real one probably because children will play this and real guns are easily fired. People don't have bombs, and usually not swords which a kid would hardly be able to use.

Do you know the difference between something realistic and comic mischief?

Hm...the 3DS screens look pretty blurry, I'm guessing due to the being in a size they were not intended to be in.

The ray gun looks pretty cool though, the older models were kind of bland looking (the all silver look doesn't work as well for zoomed out views of the battlefield).

This might be a good reason to buy a Wii U... And Mario Kart 8 is also a very good reason too

@DarkCoolEdge

If your children can't tell the difference between video games, movies, TV, and real life, you aren't raising your children properly. It is the parents responsibility to explain the difference.

I don't agree with everything in that video, but the main point I do. I haven't rewatched it in some time so be warned the video might have profanity.

@Hyperstar96

I hope I misunderstood as such, but I have my doubts.

Game looks good on 3DS!

Imagine how good it'll look on the actual screen!

@DarkKirby This. FREEAKING HALO merchandise is in the toy section of most walmarts and targets now. A rated M FOR MATURE GAME is in the TOY SECTION of stores. I blame parents for not doing research and companies like walmart and target for placing adult items in the toy section within a young child's reach.

@DarkCoolEdge shadow has guns

@2Sang umm what?? So you think Walmart is responsible for the children's experience in their stores but its not nintendo's responsibilty for the childrens experience in their games-its the parents? That seems hypocrytical. You do realise this game will either be E or T rating?

@DarkKirby if it looked more like a real gun it would probably make the rating go up for nothing.

@ThomasBW84 I tend to copy the Miiverse image on my iPhone (then email), works ok but can't vouch for the image quality.

@DarkCoolEdge Children play Call of Duty games all the time.

@SheldonRandoms LOL did you make that?

@DarkKirby I love Penn & Teller. That was a great show. Too bad we don't have more libertarians out there on TV dispelling myth from facts.

I guess the console war's legacy still carries on...

The Bowser pic literally ducking Sonic is my fav out of the rest shown. Toon Link is next. Now please confirm JigglyPuff please so I can be a happy 31 year old kid again.

Sometimes I wish the 3DS version was cancelled early into development...it's gonna lower the Wii U version's sales. A lot.

I'm glad they went with different stages for each version. If link doesn't catch that train it could be messy.

@FilmerNgameR Nope, though it looks like something I would draw XD

Oh no! Not the Demon train!!! It always gives me the shivers! >~<

@Melkaticox
Why would they cancel the 3ds if it is going to have more sales then the Wii u?
Honestly I think it will depend on what people are looking for. I have both Wii u and 3ds XL and I don't really have enough money to by both. I am leaning towards the Wii u version because the graphics are better (I'm slightly picky about that) and the controls will prob be same as last time. Then again I love playing online mode and I can't imagine how great the 3ds online mode will be (if they have it). The last thing is that the Wii u version will probably cost more money. 3D land for 3ds was 40$ and 3D world for Wii U was 60$ so I'm expecting a similar difference in price. It will be a tough decision... Hopefully I can get enough money by then for both.

All we need now is combo's, ultra combo's!

I miss Samus. Anybody remember Samus?...

@Undead_terror

this isn't exactly tekken or street fighter

I will totally be buying both, but the Wii U version is definitely the must-have for me. I only need the 3ds one so I can play w/ friends at work. ^_^

I prefer the Wii U version. Looks so beautiful!

@Benjelo thayv alredy sed that only the WiiU ver has the Online play 3DS only has local wierless play i seem to remember them saying that really erly in

Gotta love the Ray Gun's new look! Wonder if it has any kind of (new) special effect now though.

@Austroid We all KNOW she'll be in there. I hope she'll get her own new game announced in the near future. 3ds and/or Wii U! And I hope it'll be like prime, with first person controls like Wind Waker HD: twin sticks with gyro assist for pixel perfect aiming and sense of tension, without having to stand up to play. And of course optional pointer controls.

Is it fair to say that SSB3DS graphics are better than the one in SSBB?

@DarkLloyd Well it could be neat to have a special bar in which you can use it to making a damaging combo or a fatal attack like SSBB.

My vote was solely based on how you titled the picture, Nice job to whoever comes up with them.

@Shambo I meant as far as pics of the day go, we haven't seen her for weeks; let alone be the main focus of the pic.

But the fact she hasn't had a new game in 3 years works too. When Zelda has had more games released within a few years, you know something's off.

@Austroid or, as often, they could be keeping the best for last. The trilogy is over, has been re-released, and other M was imo great, but not that warm welcomed by others... So maybe they're just waiting a bit. One can hope... I'd like to have had a proper Metroid game by now on 3ds as well...
