Would be nice if I can just have 7 CPUs to fight freely & not have to rely on Classic Mode.

8 Rosalina and Lumas....which Luma is mine ahh!

Wowza

Awesome!

THANK YOU DADDY SAKURAI

Woah.

Imagine Ice Climbers here.

The Original 8 not unlockable in the 1st Pic. Nice touch.

Lucky timing. Also good to see those huge stages finally viable.

(Victory crouch intensifies)

Is that all 8 original fighters doing their N64 taunt?

aw yeah

ADVENTURE MODE OR WE RIOT

Aw yeah! Now I just need 7 friends.

Meh, now I need to make more friends... :P

It will be a really crazy mode.

The Direct was amazing. Can't wait to try 8 player smash (and can't wait to do it with my most anticipated character Mewtwo!)

You know, I bet I could find a reason to Settle it in Smash with 7 people.

Back in my day we only had 8 characters on the starting roster!

Fun Fact: This Iteration of Smash has 2 Mario's, 2 Link's, 2 Zelda's, and 2 Pit's. How about they team up in 8 Player Smash.

Yay! I'm going to get it!

Nice, thanks sakurai! This has always been one of my most requested features ever since the n64! Now, if only ridley was playable...

This will be so fun and chaotic. I hope I can do it against 7 CPUs.

THAT MATCH IS AN HOUR LONG

This party game just got an upgrade, something fierce! And I love it. Number 1 party game Nov. 21st!

the hype is real. By the way MEWTWO IS ON THE WAY!!!!!

Imagine if they kept the ICs. 16 Ice Climbers fighting at once would have been hilarious

Mewtwo in armor alt!

Seeing these comments, make me cringe so hard.

oh my crud, its butiful. how can we play like that?

wow

Throwback!

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life of gaming. THANK YOU, SAKURAI (and everyone else in his team of developers).

Sweet! This is going to be incredible!

This is awesome. Once again you met my expectations and raised the bar. You truly are a video game legend.

It's cool to play some octo-number of combatants duke it out!

Suddenly the concept of 24 chorus men on the one stage sound ridiculous...Im starting to believe they cannot be playable

@Knucles. No it's not, Mario's 64 taunt was the one where he grows.

Please add Lucas as DLC.

Yes! This is what I've DREAMED for!!!

Thx for giving the Mewtu DLC for owner of both versions for free!! :D

This looks intense!!

Awesome Times Eight

FOX ONLY ,NO ITEMS, BIG FINAL DESTINATION, LEASER ONLY

Sakurai is the BEST developer of all time. Thank you so much!

Cool pic with the 8 Originals

I already pre-order. Now I need 8 amiibos to create 8-player Smash masterpiece anytime I want

The first pic of the first 8 not unlockable characters of the first smash, and the second one with 8 newcomers for the new smash bros.

Not sure if I'd like to play with other 7 people at the same time. Appreciated, though. @Mark you forgot 2 Samus as well.

Watched that extravaganza and it was amazing! I was especially hyped when Mewtwo was revealed as DLC, since I've wanted Mewtwo to return for a long time. Thanks so much, Sakurai. You and your team really did a great job with both games. Your effort is commendable.

Notice how all the characters in the first pic is the starter roster from the original game.

Cool

Now a the original 8 Smash Fighters Me, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox and a Pikachu can a fight it out to a see who's a the best! are you guys excited?

Nice reference Sakurai to Smash 64 with the 1st pic!

Well, does this mean ICs have a lesser chance of getting in as DLC?

I love Super Smash Bros. for Wii U!!!

THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE

Did anyone notice that in the first pic it shows the original 8 characters back in the N64, and in the second one it shows only newcomers

The Original 8! Love it! Thank you for this awesome game Sakurai!

original 8! NICE!

The original 8

Glad seeing Pic of the Days is getting more active now that the Extravaganza hyped a lot of people.

Please Sakurai... Bring us back Wolf, Lucas and Ice Climbers...

I know this is an odd thing to say about a game but . . . "Hubba hubba."

Fantastic reveal for a fantastic mode. Literally couldn't be happier about it's inclusion

Why Sakurai? Why did u have to make Mewtwo only obtainable by purchasing both games. Some of us just want 1 and its too much money I have 4 other games I want out there costing me over $200 its a rip off having to pay $60 for the same game for a character im getting the wii u version only so if you are going to give mewtwo out do it another way please. Club Nintendo Members get downloadable code?

Omg thank you Sakurai this is like the best smash of them all

That Nintendo Direct was the most epic thing I've ever seen. Makes me even more excited for the Wii U version's release!

Mario Circuit from Mario Kart 8 is a stage!... Hey! Am I the only person who cares about that?

awesome this is a mode ill enjoy

I've had Deja Vu, lol. Can't wait to get some friends and "SETTLE IT IN SMASH!"

I love the direct. Is the announcer the same one from Smash Bros., because he's freakin hilarious. I can't wait til November 21st and I'll be trying out that new 8 man-smash mode.

YOU ARE SO BOSS SAKURAI!!!!!!

play as all da koopalings YEA BOI

there have been so mamy times someone in my group is the fifth wheel. Thanks for solving this problem nintendo!

Yes. I am looking forward to this very much. This is gonna be sweet.

What I really want to know next is if we'll be able to play 8-Player Smash on custom stages. Because in brawl I made a box stage with only a little opening at the top so we could play until we reached 999%. Please let us know if 8 player smash will be supported for custom stages!!!

What about "Big Final Destination"?

The Hype is getting THAT much bigger!!!!! So epically awesome!!!!!

make lots of characters for DLC

Oh man, this is SUPER AWESOME!!!!

Looks amazing!
