Much current attention is on Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, which is now just a week away from release in the West. The Wii U version isn't far away, however, considering that many expect it to arrive in November; some money is on retailer leaks for 21st November.
It's interesting that, overall, we know relatively little of the modes in the Wii U version, which may feel rather distinctive from the portable iteration. There's plenty to learn yet, in that case, and Masahiro Sakurai has used his Pic of the Day on Miiverse to unveil a new stage exclusive to the home console version. It's based on one of the minigames from Game & Wario in which you must hide from 'Mom' as she checks up on her little boy's room. Rather humorously, if you're caught in her sight it seems that the stage will become a far more dangerous place.
Pic of the day. Here's a stage exclusive to the Wii U version: Gamer. Don't let Mom find you while you're duking it out!!

If Mom does spot you, she'll scold you and blow you away!! ...I've never seen a fighting action game as chaotic as this one.

Let us know if you like the look of this stage, and what else you hope to see in the Wii U entry.

I'm glad they used that game. It was easily the most popular game of Game 'n' Wario.
LOL awesome. I can't wait for Smash U!
Awesome glad there's a new Wario stage. Just like with explaining the difficulties in porting Melee data Sakurai seems to unintentionally reveal his characters when he wants to keep them a secret. He should just show them all, we know them already
that is sweet, i wish it was on the 3ds one as well. that is one of my favorite mini games of G&W
@Mega719
But what if we don't! 0_o
@AJWolfTill now you do. Look at any site and you would know
It would be madness
"Gamer" was the only mini-game that actually used the gamepad in an interested way in Game & Wario. I'm glad that Sakurai included it as a stage.
Wow, 5-Volt's a stage hazard? She's creepy!
All hail Virtual Boy
Second picture on the right!!
Cool, I liked the "gamer" game on Game and Wario (game 3x)
I found the 9-volt stages to be almost too nerve wracking, I like the 18 volt version better, it feels more like classic Wario Ware Inc.
Hahaha! XD
Um, a little question, how come 3DS stage announcements didn't get covered, while almost every WiiU stage gets an article?
(My memory is blurry - and slightly counter-biased - so feel free to prove me wrong)
This game will come out no later then November 21st. If they go a week later (November 28th), they will release on "Black Friday" in the states and we all know that they won't do that. If they go past that date, they will be in December with less then a full month until Christmas to sell their much anticipated "system seller" game and figures. If this comes out in December, it will be a missed opportunity by Nintendo for sure.
@Mega719
I meant what if there ARE characters in the Wii U version that aren't in 3ds.
For example what if the Wii U version has an asynchronous multiplayer game mode involving the bosses that have been teased and semi-confirmed?
Just maybe gamepad users can control Ridley's or Metal Faces attack patterns to tear up the stage 0_o
Can't wait to see Viridi flinging reset bombs at the other players : P
You had to pick gamer did you sakurai?
@AJWolfTill that won't ever happen and it was never confirmed Metal Face has any role in the game. That was just a joke in the trailer like Villager's trailer has many residents from his series yet they don't all have a significant role in the game. This is supported by the fact that Wii U and 3DS has the same Xenoblade stage
Lol, my kids hate that part of the game. They say it's scary. Funny stuff this is!
that's prity awsome lol looks like it'l be fun to have Survival or Stock matches on this stage
So my "Mom" is in the game to fear me in Smash U? LOL
That's so cool
They should bring Gamer as a separate downloadable title to the eshop. I have G&W on disc, but only for Gamer and the pictionary-style multiplayer game if I recall correctly - it's been quite a while. As separate downloads for, say, €5 & €3 respectively, these would be much easier to recommend.
@AlexSora89 My guess is that we haven't seen all the Wii U stages yet. And I'm pretty sure the Wii U version is going to have tons more content than the 3DS one, and that likely includes stages.
Why in the pic of the day the description is text and in the week of SSB are screen caps? It just freaks me out!
Gamer!!!!!!!! Loved Game and Wario and Gamer is easily the best of the bunch. Really looking forward to this stage once the U version comes out!
Nobody is safe from the Mom, not even the Villager.
...That mini-game. It's about as unsettling as a legit horror game. Silent Hill stuff here, bro. Mostly because it takes me back to the halcyon years of playing games after dark only to duck under the covers in a picosecond at the sound of the merest of footsteps.
I love how THIS is the mini-game that Sakurai chose, because really, what else would you prefer?
2spooky
Yes!
thats awesome loved that game in Game&Wario
Amazing
9-Volt's helmet should have been a Mii hat in the game.
Gamer was my best game from Game & Wario, i really hope they release it as a separate digital game at some point as alot of people slept on G&W so missed this gem.
New favorite Wii U stage.
@Tsurii897 come on you tease, what else did you read?
How many Microgames does the Gamer bit of Game and Wario have ? Looks like the answer is only 20 sadly.
Love this stage idea! I like the representation of Game & Wario
I will be so interested in playing this stage. I wonder if she will also break the window to catch you, that always made me laugh. Well that and when she glares at your bedside while you "sleep".
I love GAMER!!!!! GREAT CHOICE FOR A STAGE!!!!
@Iggly The funny thing is that he's hiding from her in both of these pics
Just smiling...
So happy the other fighters got caught and have to suffer the wrath of Mom...
The stage looks very small and boring (besides 5-volt or the mother).
Looks like a fun stage despite never having played Game & Wario.
Oh hell yes
Are they gonna have her get up off the floor from watching TV, run over to the side of the bed and just sit there, starring at the competitors while they're fighting? lol. You all know what I'm talking about! So creepy! haha.
I was actually thinking about this being a stage a few days ago!
Haha,nice! Can't wait
This is great. Based on one of the few Game & Wario attractions I really dug.
@dkxcalibur im pretty sure its already been confirmed to be coming out on november 21
Does this remind anyone else of pink Floyds the wall???
@Spoony_Tech My kids hate that part of the game too. Hahaha I even recorded them playing that particular mini game on Game & Wario. I'm not even going to tell them that this stage is on Smash Bros now! Surprise and SCARE the heck out of them! Hehehehe
@Rafie I'm not telling my kids either lol!
