- Release: To many fans' surprise, the Nintendo 3DS version will be coming out BEFORE the Wii U counterpart. No exact date was in place, though, leaving some fans disappointed. But still, expect the Nintendo 3DS version to release worldwide Summer 2014 and the Wii U version Winter 2014.
- Technical Aspects:
- All fighters will be running at a beautiful 60 fps. To make sure the gameplay isn't slowed, Assists Trophies will only be running at 30 fps.
- Not only that, but both consoles will be able to interact with each other but Miyamoto shared no details on how.
- Differences Between Versions:
- As we all were aware, both consoles will be featuring stages unique to each game. Other than that, no really new information was released.
- Stages:
- As previously mentioned, both consoles will have different stages so if you are somebody who is looking for a new kind of challenge, try playing both games.
- Stage Bosses will return once more. But one that got everybody excited was a certain shadow of a specific character that was seen. Who? Well, all I'll say was the stage seemed very Metroid-y. You'll have to figure it out from there.
- For the new game mode For Glory (talked about later on), all stages will have a Final Destination-inspired design.
- Assist Trophies:
- Plenty of Assist Trophies were shown in a montage during Direct, not only ones that were previously announced such as Waluigi from Mario Tennis, Ashley from WarioWare, and Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Assist Trophies haven't made many changes but still expect a lot chaos to ensue.
- Items:
- Plenty of items new and old were shown, such as the famous Bumper showcasing its new design.
- Pokeballs also make their return with a new inclusion: The Master Ball. These new items from the Pokemon universe have the same concept of their red and white brethren but hold more legendary Pokemon, such as Reshiram, Palkia and Arceus.
- Online Play:
- Nintendo has decided that for online play, you will no longer be anonymous and instead have your Nintendo Network ID visible to other players. No only that, but you can now be reported and even banned temporarily from play, much like Miiverse. The reason for this is to make online play easier and more fun for everyone.
- Also included for Online Play are three brand-new game modes: For Fun, For Glory and Smash Run.
- For Fun: A simple and easy multiplayer battle royale. All stages are available for choosing, all items are on and only your wins are recorded.
- For Glory: A tough multiplayer mode for only the veterans. This mode pits you against anywhere between one to three other fighters on Final Destination or a Final Destination-inspired arena with no items and only your wits. both wins and losses will be recorded.
- Smash Run: Exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS, this game mode pits you against three other players to gather up power-ups to improve your fighter in a certain time limit before going head-to-head-to-head-to-head. These power-ups are similar to those found in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
- Fighters:
- Concepts:
- If you enjoyed turning from Zelda to Sheik in Brawl, well no longer will you be able to transform. Sorry, guys.
- Returning:
- Yoshi: Back with a straighter spine, his dinosaur is ready to fight once more.
- Zero-Suit Samus: Out to prove that you don't need a suit to be powerful, she's been equipped with jet boots and a new move-set.
- Sheik: Everyone's favorite ninja is back and awesomer than ever.
- Samus: New Final Smash
- Lucario: As he takes more damage, his attacks will be more powerful. Also, MEGA LUCARIO!!!!! OMG!!!!
- Captain Olimar: You will only be able to summon three Pikmin at a time and it will follow a color-based system. Also a new move.
- New:
- Mega Man: Finally, players see all of his moves and his Final Smash: 5 generations of Mega Mans coming in for a MEGA KILL.
- Little Mac: After much speculation, it's revealed that Little Mac's Final Smash will be him turning into Giga Mac, much like Bowser transforms into... Giga... Bowser... Wow, so creative... Also, an alternate skin was announced.
- Charizard: The most famous Pokemon of all time has finally ditched the Pokemom trainer for his own spot in the roster. Expect a move-set much similar to Bowser and cross your fingers for a Mega Charizard X Final Smash.
- Greninja: The most unexpected pick of fighters, Greninja leaves the Kalos region for the brawl. Bringing in his water moves and his stealth, look out, Sheik. There's a new ninja in town.
