We’ve talked about the Mewtwo custom moves glitch in Super Smash Bros. a tiny bit, but now we have another video that showcases all sorts of craziness that ensures when you try it out in the Wii U version. There are really no words that can adequately describe what can happen, so I’ll just let the video below speak for itself.

Accomplishing the Mewtwo glitch can be done by importing a Mii onto your system, viewing them in the character select screen, backing out, selecting Mewtwo, and choosing “random”. Mewtwo will then take on the special moves of the Mii you viewed last. It can lead to a variety of scenarios!

Source Gaming has put together a complete translation of Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai’s latest column in Famitsu. As we mentioned last night, this new piece is entirely about downloadable content. Read on below for the translation.

In the Users’ Eye section of this magazine, “Sm4sh for 3DS” was the top scoring game of 2014 with an average of 9.58! Personally, I’ve never seen such high marks before, and I would like to thank you for your incredible support.

As I have mentioned in this column, Smash is made up of the incredible hard work and sacrifice of myself and others. I, too, acknowledge, that developing the Smash games is the best way to satisfy the most players worldwide.

A new Q&A from Natsume sheds some light on things including the Virtual Console, Medabots, and remakes.

First up, here’s what was shared about the process of getting a game onto the Virtual Console:

The titles for Virtual Console are handled by Nintendo. The publisher and Nintendo discuss which classic titles would be a good fit and have the best potential to sell. Once a title is agreed upon, Nintendo and the publisher work together to bring that title to the designated system, with Nintendo doing the bulk of the work.

Speaking of the Virtual Console, another fan asked if we’ll ever see the two Pocky & Rocky SNES games (which would hit Wii U if they were to happen). Sadly, Natsume isn’t expecting any of the company’s other SNES games on the Virtual Console because “Nintendo’s interest has moved onto other classic systems.”

At this point, it’s unlikely we’ll see any other Natsume SNES games coming to the Virtual Console, as Nintendo’s interest has moved onto other classic systems.

Nintendo’s amiibo figures have done incredibly well. Strong demand for the figures have caused sell-outs in quite a few cases, and some have been find to locate in store.

James Honeywell, head of consumer marketing at Nintendo UK, admitted to MCV that amiibo popularity and resulting shortages caught the company by surprise. However, Nintendo will be looking to “do a better job of satisfying these needs in the future with more stock”.

Honeywell’s full words are as follows:

Right from the outset we hoped that Amiibo would be strong, but even our expectations have been smashed. With a unique line-up of iconic characters that are loved by so many people, it really has been unprecedented. We hope to do a better job of satisfying these needs in the future with more stock, and, while there are always going to be some times when we can’t on certain characters, I suspect that is also part of the appeal. What we hadn’t anticipated was the number of collectors wanting to get them all – this has seen demand exceed supply in some areas. Although, if you search around, you can still find some of the more hard-to-find Amiibo sitting on shelves.
