Whaaaaat the console version will be better than the portable? No way

From what I'm seeing mewtwo will be free if you have both versions but likely available for purchase if you don't

A summary of some of the other announcements:
[spoiler]The game runs in full HD 1080p
There's quite a focus on bigger stages for 8P. I like a lot of these new stages.
Palutena's Guidance is like a replacement for Snake's codec and has KI:U-like conversations with Pit
Ridley joins the battle... as a mix between stage boss (like Yellow Devil) and AI partner (like Flying Men)
Returning features from Brawl that were missing from 3DS: item frequency, coin battle, stamina battle, special smash, My Music, CDs, event mode, masterpieces, trailer videos, stage builder, tournament
Basically all of the solo content can now be played with two local players: classic, all-star, stadium, trophy rush, etc.
The main new game mode is a board game called Smash Tour
Wii U version includes almost all of the music from the 3DS version
You can play with a friend against strangers online
There's voice chat online, but it's disabled during the actual matches supposedly to prevent network lag in gameplay.
There are several features which will not be available at launch and instead are future updates.[/spoiler]

With 8-player matches, there's a technical limitation in that you can't use more than 7 Wii Remotes or more than 7 Wii U Pro Controllers. This isn't Nintendo's fault, that's a limitation to the Bluetooth standard itself. Other than that (and of course the 1 GamePad limit), you can play with any combination of controllers - even with 8 gamecube controllers if you use two adapters.

Some things that were not announced include:
Any Wii U exclusive fighters
Break the Targets
"Tower of Smash" or whatever else some popular leaks claimed would exist

Fun fact: if you don't own any other Nintendo hardware, the minimum price at MSRP to play 8-player Smash is $600. $300 for a Wii U, $100 for Smash game+controller bundle, $20 for another gamecube adapter, and $180 ($30 x 6) for Gamecube controllers. I've personally given Nintendo so much money for accessories over the years that I own more than enough controllers to support 8 players.

this is more offensive than typical dlc though because if you just want mewtwo in your wii u you have to spend a whole extra $40 for the 3ds version lol

I imagine there's a good chance of Mewtwo being available also as a separate paid DLC

[Samus Aran]

looks like im only getting the wii u version

also who gives a fuck about mewtwo

lol yeah i like the character but he was p. bad in melee

not really tbh

i liked him

[YPrrrr]

He was really probably the worst character in melee

But it will be fun having him back

[Mando Pandango]

pichu was the worst. this coming from a pikachu player

[Samus Aran]

i hated pichu too lol

[Hiro]

also holy shit there's way more stuff in the wii u version lmao the 3ds version is a $40 demo

did anyone expect otherwise??
but yeah here's hoping nintendo comes to its senses and sells mewtwo separately for like $3
also maybe i'll pick up a 2nd gamecube controller converter, though i only have 5 controllers i think i know other people with more

[YPrrrr]

pichu was the worst. this coming from a pikachu player

initial tier lists actually had mewtwo below even the character that hurry itself lol

I completely forgot about pichu what a terrible idea

[strongbad]

kirby -> pichu -> bowser -> ness -> g&w -> mewtoo

in order from lowest to higher

mewtoo could be worse lol
kirby and pichu are so bad though

[Nyerp]

fuck your tier bullshit mewtwo just feels awful to play as

kirby is supreme

[Thyme]

fuck your tier bullshit mewtwo just feels awful to play as

kirby is supreme

agree2both

[YPrrrr]

Melee kirby was truly awful. Every other iteration he's pretty good. He was just pretty amazing in the original so theytoned him down too much. Now he's nice and balanced.

[6M69I69B9]

man that fucking presentation made me so fucking hyped to get a wii u even if all of those are pretty much extras. 

i want a wii u only for ssbwiiu now

i don't even know anyone who has one around me ;_;

well- at least i...uh...have the 3ds game...

and holy shit mewtwo

but ill admit lol i never really liked his controls

but man

nintendo is dioing a good job spreading this shit and hyping the crowd

[6M69I69B9]
