E3 2013: Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct - Super Smash Bros.

The game director for the Super Smash Bros. series, Masahiro Sakurai, gives us a more in-depth look at the new upcoming Super Smash Bros. Game for the 3DS and Wii U. We get a better a better look at both versions of the game as well as the changes in the new game both visually and gameplay wise. Some older characters have updated looks and new moves to set this game appart from previous entries.

Sakurai also talks a bit about some of the new characters such as The Villager, Mega Man and the Wii Fit Trainer.

A bit of good news from this is the confirmation that both the 3DS and Wii U will have the same roster of characters but will have a few unique stages depending on which version you get. Like the 3DS will have more handheld themed stages and the Wii U will have more home console theme stages.

E3 2013: WiiFit Lady Joins Super Smash Bros.

If you thought the inclusion of Mega Man in the next Super Smash Bros. was crazy. Wait till you see this one.

Mega Man being in the new Super Smash Bros. is super awesome but if you've followed SSB news from even back in the day, you'd know that Mega Man could have potentially made it in Super Smash Bros. Meleealong with Snake and Sonic. Snake and Sonic didn't make it due to time constraints but Mega Man had a different reason. Inafune said that he would have been glad to include Mega Man in Melee but only if Nintendo approached Capcom about it. In Snake and Sonic's case it was the opposite as Kojima was the one who approached Nintendo and SEGA was down for putting Sonic in there. In short seeing Mega Man in the new Smash Bros. is awesome but is something that we've been expecting for a long time now.

On to the real reason for this post. Nintendo is getting a bit crazy now with their games which I like and this new character for Smash Bros. is super crazy. It's the WiiFit lady. Yeah, no words can express whatever it is that we're all feeling right now.

E3 2013: Super Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U

Just like they said, a new Super Smash Bros. game has been revealed for both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

At first glance it looks pretty much the same as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, graphics wise, if not cleaner. I expected the 3DS graphics to look a little better but if the gameplay is equally awesome then I won't be complaining.

Enough about the formalities. Aside from the announcement of a new Super Smash Bros. itself, the next most important detail about this announcement are the new characters. The Villager from Animal Crossing is now a playable character. So that's cool.

Psyche! A new guest character has been revealed for the new Super Smash Bros. and that character is the blue super fighting robot, Mega Man! Seriously, I shouted out loud here in my apartment that I think even the neighbors freaked out a little. My favorite video game character in the new installment of my favorite video game series. I'm just so happy right now.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U is set to come out in 2014 which is perfect since all my money will probably go to new video games or possibly a PS4 this holiday season. Maybe even both.

New Super Smash Bros. Trailer Confirmed for E3 2013

Masahiro Sakurai tweeted that a trailer for a new Super Smash Bros. will be shown during Nintendo's E3 Nintendo Direct. During which Nintendo also sent confirmation to Official Nintendo Magazine that there will be two versions of the game, one for the Wii U and one for the 3DS.

This is big news, especially for me, since Super Smash Bros. Melee was the reason that I chose a GameCube over a PS2 back in the day and Super Smash Bros. Brawl being the main reason why I got a Wii. I spent over 800 hours in Melee and enjoyed Brawl quite a bit. I've been looking for a solid reason to even consider getting either a 3DS or a Wii U. So far, the games I want for those both platforms are Project x Zone for the 3DS and Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U. This new Super Smash Bros. might just seal the deal.
