Digital Foundry’s latest technical analysis is dedicated to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. The site put together a comparison of the two games as well as some frame rate tests – all of which can be found below.

Digital Foundry ultimately concludes, “the fourth entry in the Smash Bros. series is a true technical milestone for both of the Kyoto giant’s leading platforms.” The Wii U version manages to provide a consistent 60 frames per second experience in 1080p, while the 3DS version also takes advantage of its hardware and almost never falters, even when 3D is enabled.

Austin and I are back for another Just a Chat! Zelda Wii U is the focus here, as new footage was unexpectedly shown during last night’s Game Awards. There’s also a bit of talk about Wii U’s lineup as a whole in 2015.
