I'm so hyped right now, i want it, NOW

When I first saw this, I almost broke down in tears! Thank you so munch, Sakurai!

THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks easier to loose track of your character! With having eight people playing at the same time. Plus, some people may not have enough spaces for their rooms. Well thats my own opinion, I guess.

This is AWESOME !!!

That was an incredible direct! Sakurai, you and your team have really outdid yourselves. You deserve a long vacation after this is finished.

8 players !!!!

MEWTWO IS BACK!!!!!!!!

If the Wii U version will have 4 more characters in the start roster, will it have less secrets characters or could it have 4 new characters? I hope it have new characters, I need Wolf back.

Actually the greatest thing ever. Really REALLY looking forward to the Wii U version now.

Adding 8-Player Smash sounds Outstanding.

MUST HAVE RIGHT NOW!!! I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES TO PLAY IT! I'LL BUILD A TIME MACHINE! BRIBE ANYONE NECESSARY! I'M EVEN WILLING TO PUT MYSELF IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION UNTIL NOV. 20 AT 11:30 P.M. SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG!!

My friend and I at my last party did a 4 player Jigglepuff battle because it was stupid. And now it shall be an 8 player Duck Hunt Dog battle.

Now l see why they didn't add Ice Climbers...

I'm so glad to see that! More battles for more players!

how is this posible it's amazing

Uhm, when I played SSBB I and my friends did the 4-group dance. Now we will do a, uhm, 8-group/Kirby dance. Yeeeeey.

Who thinks battleing with 8 people is really hard?

November 21st can't get here fast enough!

I HAVE LITERALLY DREAMT OF 8 FIGHTER BATTLES....*curls into fetal position* *whispers to self* so much hype...so much hype...so much hype...

This can destroy 7 friendships at once! :O

8 players that is awesome

Mr. Sakurai, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of heart for all you've done this past year and a half and even longer. These POTDs have been wonderful and informative to many. The Nintendo Directs and new character trailers are wonderfully done. Heck, the trailers aren't even required in the long run, but you and your wonderful team did them anyway because you're all awesome.

Mewtwo Strikes Back

wow this is amazing

FATAL 8 Way!!

8 players. Ice climbers. Nvm..

Calling it now, next game, 10-player.

This is great because there's 10 people in my family. THANK BASED SAKURAI.

8 Player Smash... That is all.

I wonder if wii u version is "definitely" going to be the best-selling as melee.

Does the 8 player Smash support computers? If so, then it would be interesting to, for example, do a team match against all the Koopalings. (before you go saying my math stinks, I mean 1 on 7 and not counting Bowser Jr. himself)

@SpookyVolt As if! Smash build friendships. Mario Party destroys them. Besides, now I can take on all seven Koopalings at once!

tournaments will b awesome!

There were 8 slots in Melee, but only in multi-man melee.

Hey look newcomers and original 8

Greatest Smash Bros..........EVER!

That's... Amazing! We will finally be able to play all together without waiting! 8 Player Smash <3

simple enouph,right?!?!

i was excited for OR AS but now this too :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Better think about 7 vs 1 in team battle, don't forget to use handicap to work.

cant w8 m8

Sure, there are a few things that I'll be disappointed about, like Ridley just being a type of stage hazard and the Ice Climbers being unplayable due to the 3DS' limitations, but I'll eventually get over them (though the Ice Climbers will take a bit longer to get over). And besides, the parts that I'm extremely happy/excited about, like 8-player Smash and Smash Run, more than make up for it.

Fire emblem vs pokemon characters.

See, I love how Sakurai blows the lid off things with Mewtwo and people are going "SO KEWL!...now put ______ in." Talk about ungrateful; everything is spoiled and you're not happy. And they better change Mewtwo's moves so it isn't a total wuss (AGAIN) or I'm not downloading it. And he said it's available to those who have both versions; he never said people with one version can buy it.

I'm not gonna play as mewtwo (I'm only getting the wiiu version) but.... HYPEFOR8PLAYERS

MEWTWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

8 people spaming taughts!

well when this game comes out the wii u salles SHOULD GO THRU THE ROOF EPIC GAME!!!!

MIIVERSE STAGE AND STAGE BUILD FOR NINTENDO 3DS AS DLC

Oh, and...8-Player Smash is going to be so fricking AWESOME!!!

What I saw yesterday made my entire week. Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U will probably make my entire year.

Long story short, I and many others appreciate all the hard work you and your development team have put into Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Even when we tease you by making jokes about various things, at least you know it's all because we love you like a part of the family. <3

Sakurai, I know it's a lot to ask and I'm sure you won't listen to me, but tic would be really nice to have more characters in this game and I know how hard creating new characters must be, so maybe you can just add more alternate costumes like Alph and the Koopalings? It would be really nice to see characters like Lucas and Wolf return as alternate costumes!

This is going to be madness.

does this mean... 7 CPUs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL HALL SAKURI

Mario (Player 1) Donkey Kong (Player 2) Link (Player 3) Samus (Player 4) Yoshi (Player 5) Kirby (Player 6) Fox (Player 7) Pikachu (Player 8) ALL OUT SMASH!

I'm Just gonna make a bunch of random stages

But really if you could add just one more thing Sakurai, I'd love to play as Princess Daisy, I know how hard creating brand new characters must be on you, but if you could at least make her an alternate costume for Peach like Alph or the Koopalings that would make me sooo happy, but you've done so much already so if you don't want to do this then I understand thanks for all the work you've done

What

Yes MEWTWO XDDDDD

Holy...

WHAAAAAAAAAAT IS THIS 8 PLAYERS

Eight players...is...just...BRILLIANT!!!

8 player smash will be chaotic and thank you sakurai

Chaos shall ensue!

Technically Daisy is a character! Alt for Peach. Also you can make a Daisy Mii I'm just saying.

Does anyone notice that in the first picture its the veterans and 2nd picture has newcomers ö
