A brand new update is now up for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS following its maintenance, and with it comes a new batch of DLC.

We’ve known for a while now that the brand new Super Mario Maker stage would be making its way to Super Smash Bros. as downloadable content, but also included in today’s update is a stage making its return from Super Smash Bros. Brawl – the Pirate Ship stage.

Along with the brand new Pirate Ship stage – which is available as DLC exclusively on Wii U – the Duck Hunt stage from the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. is now making its way over to the 3DS version.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper update without more Mii Fighter costumes. Included in the brand new update and DLC are seven brand new Mii Fighter costumes, which are:

• Business Suit
• Fox Set (StarFox) (Gunner)
• Captain Falcon’s Outfit (Brawler)
• Toad (Brawler)
• Viridi Set – Kid Icarus (Sword Fighter)
• Hunter Set – Monster Hunter (Sword Fighter)

As usual with the Mii Fighter costumes, you can buy them individually or as a bundle for a discounted price.

Here’s the breakdown:

Super Mario Maker stage

3DS – $2.49
Wii U – $2.49
3DS/Wii U – $3.49

Pirate Ship stage

Wii U – $1.99

Mii Fighters

3DS – $0.75
Wii U – $0.75
3DS/Wii U – $1.15

Be sure to download the new update if it isn’t done automatically when you boot up the game to gain access to all of today’s new content.

Devil’s Third has added a new Ignition mode in multiplayer, footage of which is below.

In Ignition mode, there are two teams: attack and defense. Those on the attacking side need to place and detonate a bomb while the defending group naturally must prevent it from going off. The team with the most round wins will take the overall match.

EDGE recent put out a special issue featuring the 100 great video games of all time. The list is below, though the full magazine can be ordered here.

This is how EDGE says it determined its list:

“In compiling the list, we worked to simple criteria: all formats – console, PC, portable, coin-op, touchscreen – were eligible; we could include only a single entry from any series that features straight-up sequels; and each game had to stand up today rather than making the cut for reasons of nostalgia or historic significance.”

And here’s the full lineup:

100 – WarioWare Inc – GBA
99 – Spec Ops: The Line
98 – Papers, Please
97 – DriveClub
96 – Braid
95 – Super Hexagon
94 – Her Story
93 – Super Monkey Ball
92 – Final Fantasy XII
91 – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
90 – Katamari Damacy
89 – Animal Crossing: New Leaf
88 – Resogun
87 – Puzzle Bobble
86 – F-Zero GX
85 – The Sims 3
