Fight your friends or CPU fighters on your favorite stages with your preferred rules in Smash mode. Up to four players can play.

Rule Settings


The number of Kos you get doesn’t matter—it’s all about being the last fighter standing. You start with a set stock of lives that decreases by one every time you get KO’d. If your stock drops to zero, you’re out of the battle.


This rule setting is only available in the Wii U version. The player who collects the most coins within the time limit wins. Hit enemies to knock coins out of them, and then pick up the coins. You’ll lose some coins if you get KO’d.

Special Smash

Special Smash is only available in the Wii U version. In this mode, you can set various rules for a Smash battle. You can set fighter health to Stamina mode, equip fighters with items, make all fighters move at high speed, and more.
*Special Smash cannot be selected in online battles.

Today’s Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshot provides another look at the Boxing Ring stage. It also serves as a reminder for today’s presentation!

Here’s the shot and text from Sakurai:


Though the 3DS version of Smash has been out for some time now, I think it’s funny in a weird Nintendo way that so much effort is being put into censoring the roster for those who decided to wait. Today’s screenshot is a look at one of the secret fighter’s reveal cinematic:

Update Just received a PR email from Activision confirming the October 28 release date.


The Legend of Korra: A New Era Begins could be launching in North America next week. Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and GameFly are all listing an October 28 release date. Activision has yet to officially confirm a final date, strangely enough!

You’ll find the first screenshots from The Legend of Korra: A New Era Begins in the gallery above.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
