Nintendo has confirmed two new features that are coming to Super Smash Bros. later this year.
The first is Tourney Mode, which will launch as a free update in August. This is made up of two modes - Community Tourneys let players complete for the highest points in a certain amount of time, while Regular Tourneys have more detailed rules and only happen at certain times.
The other big feature was actually spotted a while back in the game's code: YouTube replays. Similar to the Mario Kart 8 upload feature, this will be exclusive to the Wii U version of the game and will allow players to post replays of their matches to the popular video sharing service. As you might expect, a Google account will be required to use this free feature, which is coming "at a later date".
Nintendo is supporting Smash Bros. with a host of fresh content - both free and paid - this year. Are you keen to try out these features? Let us know by posting a comment brlow.

I've kind of lost the excitement for tourney mode. It seems like it was announced a long time ago. I'll still play it it just doesn't have the same hype as it did before.
The Youtube feature is great but, like in Mario Kart, I'll probably never use it.
Is the YouTube feature coming in August too?
My son will be probably make use of tourney mode but I won't use the YouTube one
yeah for youtube feature!
Man, I thought there was going to be offline tourneys like there was in Brawl. Don't really care much anymore.
Offline tourneys will always be a thing. This just gives more room for casual players (which, in turn, may hurt in person tourneys). I think the easy-Youtube-upload is a wonderful feature. I can't say that I'll use it, but...
@Fazzie_Bear Nintendo just says "at a later date".
amiibo tourneys pls
@Haiassai Will they, though? I'm still waiting for the patch that adds local tourney mode, and they didn't even mention that aspect today.
It would be great to have youtube upload built into every game as standard in the Wii U menu. Like, ya know, that other console..
Another update in August may mean some new characters and stages might also drop in August. Personally I hope they add Wolf, Snake, Ice Climbers, and Young Link in some form. Then they came make new characters for winter time.
