Smash Bros. Topic

I think the November 21st date is real for a couple reasons:

It is right before Black Friday, which Nintendo would be crazy to release it afterwards.
It is around the Christmas season, not too early and not too late.
It is a Friday, which Nintendo usually releases their games on Fridays.

@Archu- I totally agree, just thought I'd share it, since it's the fourth time the 11/21 date has come up.

@Stitch- That's exactly why it makes so much sense. Also last year, on November 22nd, Nintendo released Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds & Mario Party: Island Tour all on the same day, that's two big 3DS games and 1 big Wii U game. With Pokémon OR/AS coming out on November 21st as well, they could be looking to repeat that.

Sakurai addresses Ice Climbers’ absence in Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS and more in new Famitsu column

In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Masahiro Sakurai published his latest bi-weekly column. The Smash Bros. director goes into a number of topics in his piece.

First, regarding the roster, Sakurai mentioned that even though many characters are included, there are some who worry about those who didn’t make the cut. He specifically addresses the absence of the Ice Climbers as well. It seems they were running in the Wii U version, but due to the required hardware power, the team couldn’t make them work in the 3DS game. There wasn’t as high a priority given to series that are unlikely to have another installment at this time.

On the topic of different release dates for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS, Sakurai mentions that this was for debugging, which was necessary to avoid there being considerable differences between the two versions. If both games had a shared release date, a launch in 2015 may have occurred.

Finally, Sakurai shared a tidbit about the trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 3DS. Akihiro Toda – known for the texts in the Mother series – wrote the descriptions.

^Indeed it is! Is it gonna be your new wallpaper?

September 19, 2014 Update: Pic of the day. Well, I'd better post some pictures from the Wii U version once in a while, right? We've brought back the Castle Siege stage from Fire Emblem! - Masahiro Sakurai, Director of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U



September 19, 2014 Update (2nd pic): Most of the games in the Fire Emblem series have a different unique setting and have fields without much height, so it was hard to narrow down what venues to focus on. Castle Siege and Colosseum are two stages that aren't exclusive to specific games in the franchise. - Masahiro Sakurai, Director of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
