it's official i'm getting the wii u version too

mewtwo is FREE if you have both versions, don't worry about not getting him

Mewtwo is gonna be available to everyone, you little gremlins. You'll just get him free if you have both games

I can't wait to try 8 player mode, it's going to be nuts!

OMG!!! o0°

Sakurai, I love you. Thak you for Mewtwo! the games looks fantastic!

so we do get eight players after all! call it!! #mario party 7 style!

oh my god! only 4 more fridays until super smash bros. for wii u comes out! lucky for me i already paid it off. booyah!!!!

Brilliant and I used the phase Duke it out on my Donkey Kong post yesterday ;)

OMG......MEWTWO.... ?!?!?

is there a special community for the miiverse stage?

Hype! Hype! Hype!

The Original Eight and the Newcomers lol.

Thanks for the awesomeness today!!! You rock!!! \m/ ^·^\m/

I'll watch it after a good night sleep. Zzzzzzz

Oh, man! I CAN'T WAIT! 8-player fighting mode looks really fun (and hectic). The other modes will be fun to explore. Not to mention all the hours I will play in plain-old Smash! But... will I still be eligible for that free Mewtwo if I buy the 3DS game before getting a 3DS? XD

Words cannot express how awesome that Nintendo Direct was! This game is going to be fantastic. I cannot wait to play it!!

The Direct was pretty awesome, I'm finally excited again! But eh... why were you teasing that Duck Hunt picture a few days ago if you weren't going to reveal the character?

My future Smash Bros. parties are going to be significantly more awesome.

Well done sakurai! Thank u for making this game so awesome! Ur the best game developer ever!

cant wait for tht ultimate battle with mewtwo,lucario,greninja,charizard,pikachu and jigglypuff

That Direct got me hyped, whether you can see it or not. Hm... 8-Player Smash... think of the 8-Player Mii matches people could come up with now.

I'm ready for a Koopalings + Bowser Jr. only Battle! Let's do this and have fun!

8 Person Multiplayer?! This is going to be chaotic as hell!

It's going to get crazy.

My body is ready! My wallet isn't!

But will it work online?

I hope we get the newcomer reveal video for the teased character today!

8 Player Smash is offline only. Probably lag issues.

the narrator guy has the best voice in the world!

Sakurai, you're a god! The 50-facts video was absolutely thrilling and the voice-over was totally hilarious :D 8-player SMASH is just freaking awesome! Can't wait to start smashin' on my Wii U!

8 IS GREAT!!!!!!

the 50 things you need to know extraveganza makes the 3ds version look so boring and now it makes me think,“why did i even buy this?”

Sakurai, seriously, you've outdone yourself with this game! Still disappointed that Snake & subspace emissary is missing but I think there is enough content to keep it going!

Finally. My main fighter has been revealed.

Well I didn't want Mewtwo anyway...........:(

SSB for Wii U, now truly the only fighting game where everyone can have a turn! settling it in smash has never been this crazy! can you imagine the wild get-togethers and lets plays with this mode?

Lucky me being the one person here without a WiiU.

crazy spheres.

Amazing

OMG 8 Fighters that's crazy and very funny ^^

btw what is the significance of that rocky vally that the fighters are in? it was in the mega man trailer, the greninja trailer and now the bowser jr trailer. is this maybe a new stage?

My friend doesn't believe there will be 7 player battles for some reason because the direct never mentioned it. I think he's wrong. Can you confirm that 7 player battles are a thing?

I can't wait for 4v4 teamfights on a stage like Hyrule castle or Paluntenas temple! With a brawler at front, a swordsman supporting him, and two ranged fighters in the back!

And THIS is a reason why there are 8 colours per character (except of Litte Max who has 16 colours), not because of Bowser Jr.

MEWTWO STRIKES BACK WITH SWAG!!!!!

Master Fortress,Mewtwo 8-Player Smash lol. This direct was awesome.

Well this is truly a great DAY!! /announcer voice. xD But seriously, thank you so, so much for all your hard work in bringing this to us, Masahiro Sakurai. ^_^

I'm happy with the miiverse stage ^^ I remember coming up with that last year so it's cool seeing it in the game. I just dont know what to think about the MewTwo thing because there has been no announcement on how to get him if you dont have both versions. I'm not buying a entire game for one character that's complet nonsense. I'm sure there will be a way to pay for him if you dont have both

THIS GAME IS THE BEST OF ALL! I WANT TO PLAY WITH 8 PLAYERS!

So good new things !! But a bit sad to have been spoiled for so many things. :(

Does the second image show a time limit of over an hour?

I can barely fit four people in my room. ._.

I like how the 8 characters of the pic, are the ones from smash 64

now give us dual audio support

After seeing yesterday's live stream, this is what I can say... The Wii U version is 54 reasons better than the 3DS version! Which people will now say the 3DS is holding back the Wii U version! Oh yeah, do the happy dance, do the happy dance...

Thank you Sakurai, thank you Sora Ltd, and thank you Bandai Namco.

Yesterday's Nintendo Direct is OMG Wow Too much Hype Excitement Over 9000 Unbelievable Holy Moly Mondo Dude *Cries Too cray cray with 8 Players!

1.How do we connect 8 remotes? 2.Is big battlefield also for 2-4?

There's your game of the year right there.

thank you so much for the free-dlc of mewtwo but i can't wait for him!!!!!!!

I just watched the Direct!! This is so epic and amazing! I want this game sooo badly!! Take my money Nintendo!!! *_*

Yay! Now I just need enough friend to play 8-man smash with! Or friends in general...

8-character brawls, a better initial roster than 3DS's, much more music, partially playable Ridley, Smash Tour, Bowser Jr. video reveal, bigger stages, stages that take place on 2 planes, figure and art sharing, voice chat, extensive number of trophies, and best of all, MEWTWO AS FREE DLC! Sakurai, though you may make some odd decisions at times that tend to border on stupidity... YOU ROCK!!!

I expect having too much fun in this game !!!!

8characters!! At the same time all the while in crisp full HD graphics No other game does this in the gaming industry and its only on WiiU baby ...it Truly is a good time to be a WiiU owner!! XD

By the way, I just thought of a 55th best thing to add to the jaw-dropping 54 new things in Smash Bros. for Wii U... ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF NEW 3RD-PARTY CHARACTERS JOINING THE FIGHT! Meaning Snake is benign to the series, and Rayman stays just a trophy for collective purposes! Oh Yeah! Do the happy dance, do the happy dance, do the happy dance!

One of my favourite parts of this video was - 10:40 - more music in the wiiu game IN FACT ITS NOT EVEN COMPARABLE!!!

I was laughing my butt of when i saw a tweet of somebody throwing their 3DS with Smash Bros in the garbage next to some dusty napkins and a empty can of Orange Fanta. But seriously this game is gonna change everything. Thank U Sakarai

This hype man, I'm really feeling it. So stoked for the (future,) Mewtwo DLC too.

YES YES for the wii u!!!

how much will be mewtwo?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK! AND A SPECIAL THANKS FOR THE LAST THING SHOWN YESTERDAY! THE GAME IS NOW PERFECT!!!

1 vs 7... xd

This is incredible ! Many thanks to you Mr Sakurai and your teams (both SORA and Namco-Bandai) for the very hard work ! For the pleasure of the players ! This game is the most complete, impressive and massive in video gaming history !

Dear Sakurai: Just want to let you know that there is a bug error on smash 3ds. How it happens: you start a match with nothing, but 4 cpus...after the match go to character customization, and go to test...then during the test your character doesn't want to move at all, but can L+R out. Thats is the issue I encounter just want to let you know Sakurai, Yours truly OnyxKnight.

Mewtwo!!!!Mewtwo!!!!mewtwo!!!mewtwo!!! I am so getting a 3DS for Mewtwo!!!! Haaaa!!! ⌒.⌒

The original 8!! It makes me happy to see how far these guys have come.

Mewtwo's back.... Ok... I guess... Ridley OFFICIALLY deconfirmed.... That sucks... 8 player Smash... Neat!... Direct... Overall pretty good!

Sakurai? What about the other stages?! When there's 8 fighters on a stage, don't bother betting your coins on who will win at this point. There isn't much space between the fighters! There's more than likely a good chance that it'll be a close call! It's gonna be even scarifyinlly tricky to know which enemy you should be attacking given the fact that you could be hit by 3Players Man it's cramped!!

SO COOL 10/10 I MIGHT PUT ALL 8 ORGINAL CHARACTERS TOGTHER! MARIO , DK , LINK , SAMUS , PIKACHU , FOX , KIRBY , YOSHI

@Onixknight its ok! No one cares about the 3DS version no more ⌒.⌒

I take that there can be a team battle of 4 vs 4! Is that a possibility?!

creator of stages!yeah!

Yeah now none of my friends will have to sit out.

8-Player Smash is gonna be really interesting to say the least... When are we getting the dog's trailer?

8-player smash is just incredible with no Resolution downgrade!

Thank you, Sakurai. I can't wait to play as Mewtwo and vs 8-player

Oh, Lotus, good point! Those are the original 8! This game is Epic! I'm so excited to get it.

MEWTWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought this was the end!

The Donkey Kong Country stage still should've been playable if you play 8-player smash because 4-players could be at each side.
