This looks nice, better than the 3ds version. I'll probably not play smash tour that much but 8 player smash...don't get me started o how much i'll use that mode!

Sakurai is playing as Kirby, which he made, and his rival in this picture is Palutena, and he also made Kid Icarus uprising. Funny huh?

Can't wait to try this out to see what it's really like. Sounds interesting.

I'd go for 8 player immediately.

That's really cool! The faint images of the stages are awesome!

WEEEEEEEEEE ssb4 is AWESOME!!!!!

@johno, it's because in the wii u version, jigglypuff is a starter character.

classic mode in the WiiU version is way better then 3ds version

I get a Fire Emblem vibe from this and I approve of that! Still kinda weird because this classic mode is so radically different from the previous classic modes… Personally, I prefer how the 3DS version handled it better, it still felt like classic mode but with a tad more freedom, but who knows? Maybe this version of classic will become my favorite… Guess I'll have to wait and see

now that's a cool Classic Mode, even it shows the stages at the bottom of the floor

Have you got minecraft

so let me guess, the final destination form (omega form) of brawl's port town aero dive is just the same but with no stops. am i right?

Neat! So... is it like a gigantic fan or something?

Such a classic!

I realized that we can see the stages on the floor.

ADVENTURE MODE! ADVENTURE MODE! ADVENTURE MODE! (I mean the adventure mode from melee, not Subspace Emissary)

Every time I beat someone as Donkey Kong, I'll say, "Banana Slamma!". #Bringbackthedonkeykongtvshow

It awesome

Dude thats awesome!

This is an AWESOME format for classic! Thanks Sakurai for bringing Mewtwo back! I hope this game is "Game of the Year" because this is JAMPACKED with content!

I love Luigi's trophy in the second picture when it flies away!

JIGGLYPUFF CONFIRMED!!!

Wait -- I thought the 54 Fact Extravaganza said you couldn't pick your opponents...? I'm confused.

THAT IS AWESOME!

Also, are the rivals randomized or does each character get a specific rival?

This seems alright for the classic mode on Wii U it looks fun! ^__^ =)

I don't even need to look at the stages. I will just go to the spots with 7 characters!

now i get it!

Ah this new classic mode will be fun because now i can enjoy it with co-op mode!

Great pic of the day! By watching the direct, I didn't really get Classic Mode. Now I do.

that's neat

CO OP sounds cool but I can't be the only one that wants it online

Careful sakurai. Don't get carried away with 8-player capability. Smash was built around 4-players and it was the core of smash for 3 gens and shouldn't be changed. If people enjoy 8-Player matches to much, they'll never play 4-player game modes or anything. I see nothing classic about this. Bit of a fail. Watch yourself, Sakurai. Don't stack Smash bros. just for it to crumble down hard.

WOW! INCREDIBLE!!! no but seriously I'm gonna love playing Classic mode co-op

I remember seeing that on the 50 must see things direct, It's gonna be sick!!!!!!!!!!!

so the potd-s are just reshowing everything from the direct?

10/10 Best game ever!!!

This is some great info! Now I don't have to worry about dealing with large team numbers. This clears up some questions, and possibly some of the confusion as well! Thanks Sakurai!

since were talking colleceams I think its time to say THIS IS SPARTA!!!

can i have mewtwo its my b day!

Thanks, Sakurai! My trophy has been collecting dust for the past 13 years.

MUCH better than the 3DS version!!!

cool

Palutena = Rival

That's cool.Can you go just attack your rival in the beginning?

LOL thats so cool

7 opponents on 9.0 difficulty....so this is what death feels like.

That Is So Amazing

Like I said before, you have made this game so awesome and could possibly be the best game of the year. When I said I wanted Ridley to be playable, I was talking about the original one (other m was a clone of the original) and I know the other m model is used as the pyrosphere stage boss via 50 Fact Extravaganza but I see him as a very good choice and ssb needs more villains. Please consider this.

8 player SMASHING, if you know what I mean...

This is awesome! Im going to be playing this a lot

Kirby: I've almost won! I just gotta beat.... OH NO ITS LIL' MAC GG I LOSE.

this is an EPIC CLASSIC MODE

where is zelda

who mario?

you bring something awesome everyday you deserve all the credit

This rival aspect seems very interesting. Looking forward to trying this out.

better than melee

thats really cool that u can change the difficulty.

DEMO!!!

@peki. ridlet is a species not one character. think about it.

In the first picture, did anyone else see the custom part on the bottom of Rosalina's trophy?

I'm so excited, but I don't know whether I should get this game or Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Saphire because they share the same launch day.

Please, no demo. Thank you.

lol playing kirby

@Peach) Get Smash Bros. U. Better replay value.

Story mode miss u ;(

...and after all of the fighters are gone, a wild MASTER HAND appears!

Whats That yellow pixleated thing with Luigi. also (L)_

I really like the whole choose-your-own-opponent(s) idea of the new Smash games.

@Greenz) Ridley IS NOT a species. Ridley is the same character that has been restructured, "repaired" and revived over and over again.

Saw this on This Direct last thursday and already made a reactions on youtube. Classic Mode on Wii U looks cool, and the mode is awesome.

This Classic Mode certainly has that "child playing with his toys" vibe.

Im so exited for this game! i wonder who is that guy whit the nes zapper???

is the rival thing like battle royale?

So it's kind of like StreetSmash, then.

Guess I'll call it ssb4 coliseum

i can't wait to play this when it comes out

Nifty. #OneWord #NiftyGizmo #YeahThisPostIfYouAgree

This looks really interesting. I'm glad this mode isn't a clone of the 3DS mode, otherwise it'd feel like something I'd already done. One of the best things about the 3DS's Classic was that it was so much shorter than Brawl's, which was long and incredibly redundant to do with everyone. Hopefully this mode won't overstay its welcome either since we have to do it at least 49 times.

I like the more skill oriented mode

i love it that Stage Builder is back but i dont have a wiiu

This'll be great.

vivement qu il sorte.

defeat the rival first

This Classic mode is messed up. I prefer the 3DS version.

That is really neat how they've revamped modes like Classic. And made it feel quite different from previous games. I like having to choose who you wanna fight. And its great that even 8 people can play together in this mode now. Overall it sounds great and I can't wait to try it out.

Ok: The max l go to is 5-player smash. Take out the rival as soon as l see him. Put my personal greatest fighters as my team. End on 8-player smash.*

asome

So it's like Pokémon Rumble U

Classic Mode looks totally rad and awesome! :D Can't wait to play this mode as usual and beat the heck out of the fighters besides my favorites. ^^ Thank you Sakurai, your team (Sora Ltd.), Bandai Namco Games, and everyone involved in making this mode and everything else in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U really special. :) This is gonna be a fun game! :D

As a Wii U owner, I feel compelled to go over to my friend who has a 3DS and rub it in that the 3DS version was a sales pitch for the Wii U version. :3 #HatersGonnaHate
