– Trigger a special attack that’s paid for with your earnings
– Need cash in order to block
– Getting change requires you to run around the ring, which is like a breather moment for both sides

– Seems that players move and fight with the touch screen
– Stand on one of the corners of the rings to exhort the crowd
– At certain points, you’ll also be able to transform into different heroes
– These include a salaryman robot and a middle-aged aunty robot

Next Super Smash Bros. not planned for spring after all

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments

Update: Nintendo has provided the following statement:

“There seems to be some buzz online today about the launch date of Super Smash Bros. We would like to clarify that the speculation about a Spring 2014 launch date for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U was the result of a misquotation in an interview. The original article has since been rectified and we have no further announcements to make at this time.”

Original: So much for that supposed spring release for the next Super Smash Bros. German outlet Nintendo-Online has received confirmation from Nintendo that the game doesn’t have a set timeframe for launch.

Yesterday, talk of Smash’s release date surfaced after Bernd Fakesch, general manager of Nintendo of Germany, said it would be out in addition to Mario Kart 8 in the spring. Mario Kart 8 is still on track for spring 2014 – as it always has been – but that’s not the case for Smash Bros.
