It's been almost a month since Nintendo released their Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Direct online and everyone is still talking about it. From big announcements such as 8-player Smash to small things like improved co-op on Competitive mode, this Direct was packed full of new information. But it was the announcement at the end of the presentation that made fanboys' ovaries EXPLODE: Mewtwo would be returning to Smash Bros. but only as DLC for those who bought both the Wii U and 3DS version of the game. This essentially CONFIRMS DLC for Smash 4. So, if that is the case, then what else should be DLC?
1) Alternate Costumes
While most people don't exactly play Smash Bros. for the alternate costumes, it definitely provides some extra fun into the game, as it sheds a new appearance of our favorite characters. So, it would be no surprise that they should add exclusive, brand-new alternate costumes into the game, right? Keep in mind that Little Mac has the most alternate costumes out of all the other fighters, boasting a large 16 different costumes. Looks like this may be a good opportunity for everyone to catch up.
2) More Big Stages
During the Direct, we learned that for 8-Player Smash, there will be certain stages that will be available for that mode. These stages are actually going to be larger versions of those stages, such as the new Big Battlefield, an expanded version of the Battlefield stage. Because there are only CERTAIN stages available for this gameplay mode, why not have exclusive Big Stages available? Allow large (or even larger) maps such as New Pork City,
3) More Items
If Smash Bros. wasn't already know for it's genius formula, great mechanics, and roster of fighters, it's the items that can really make any battle either a nightmare or a great time. What we need is more items! Bring on items such as the Ice Flower from Super Mario, or even something ridiculous like an NES catridge. Either way, more items will enhance the gameplay and when you combine THAT with 8-Player Smash... Well, mercy on your soul.
4) More Exclusive Characters (and Stages)
When you think about it, Nintendo has some pretty cool looking exclusive out right now such as Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, and coming soon, Splatoon. So... why haven't they tapped those IPs and say,"Hey, let's put these guys in our game!" For characters, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF FREAKING GOD AND BAYONETTA AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER. SHE CAN BE A ZERO-SUIT SAMUS CLONE FOR ALL I CARE JUST PUT HER IN THE GAME. Also, please Sakurai, add a Splatoon-themed stage for Smash Bros. 4. Do you even know know how AMAZING that would be?!?
Anyways, this is just a small list of what needs to be added. I hope you all enjoy playing Smash on your Wii U and hope that they do add these changes because trust me: it'll be worth it. Hope to battle you all soon enough!
