Thank god Nintendo actually is doing online better

Luigi is a beast.

Wii U release date confirmed: November 21 in North America

The rest of the world gets it two weeks later on December 5 (Europe) and December 6 (Japan, Australia)

The North American release date is the exact same day as the release date of Pokemon OR/AS. Because of this, I might not even play Smash U on day one even though I'll pick them up together.

One more thing I missed earlier was an Amiibo announcement

We already knew that 12 characters would get Amiibo release alongside Smash U: all 8 of SSB64's default-unlocked characters, WFT, Peach, Marth, and Villager

Today the second Amiibo wave is confirmed to release in December: Diddy, Zelda, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Pit, Little Mac

I'm pretty sure we knew this already, but Nintendo said the 3DS version will get an Amiibo update later. The New 3DS and NFC adapter for old 3DS models both release in 2015 in US.

In not-Smash-related news, Captain Toad's game is releasing here on December 5, the same day the rest of the world gets Smash U. It's the second game that will support Amiibo, although we have no idea how it uses them yet.

what's different about them

what's different about them

now you are always guaranteed to grab the ledge and will displace whoever grabbed it first

Makes edge guarding a lot harder. Also significantly improved done characters recovery like lucario

[Hiro]

what are "done characters"

[TooB]

characters that are done.

[Samus Aran]

probably a typo of "some characters"

Yesterday, Nintendo's online store "revealed" in its product description that the Wii U Gamecube adapter works like a Pro Controller or Classic Controller in all Wii and Wii U games

today, they announced exactly the opposite, claiming that listing was a total mistake and that the adapter supports only Super Smash Bros

I think clown car is a pretty neat character idea and I like the gimmick that all 8 of its costumes are different characters to feature the koopalings without bloating the roster like MK8 did

I think they have a good and very unique moveset

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i despise nintendo
