GameStop posts “Karissa The Destroyer” video, explains how the publicity stunt was done
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Videos, Wii U | 6 Comments
Earlier this month, one GameStop location over on the West Coast held a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U preview event. That’s when the story of “Karissa The Destroyer” began. Karissa was thought to have taken down several top Smash Bros. players, but we quickly learned that the entire thing was likely staged.
We now have definitive proof that the event was nothing more than a stunt done by GameStop. I won’t spoil the “secret” of how the store managed to pull it off – just watch the video below!

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U – UI + control tidbits
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Some interesting Smash Wii U facts are starting to pop up all over the place and while they’re not all big headliners, some of them are definitely worth sharing! Here’s a round-up of what we’ve found so far (we’ll update the post if any other interesting ones pop up):
- Japanese New 3DS’s have been confirmed to work on the NA version of Smash Wii U, so we can assume there’s no region locking on 3DS’s as controllers
- After playing someone online in For Fun / For Glory, you can send them a friend request
- The random name generator in the game has a few cool entries, “FILS-A-MEK” and “PLAYITLOUD” are entries that may pop up when shuffling for a name
Not huge news by any means, but definitely neat little additions!
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshots (11/21/14)

Not a whole lot to say today, it’s launch day… Well, if you’re in the Americas at least (as Sakurai points out):
He continues with some information on control schemes:
Here’s a look at the controls screen for the Wii U Pro Controller. We needed to match the default settings for all controllers for buttons such as L and R, but there must be players out there that want to use the ZL and ZR Buttons for shielding. You can set the controls closer to the GameCube controller if you set the B Button for standard attacks and Y for special moves. Set up your controls however you like in Controls.
