Well, that didn’t take long. A glitch has already been found concerning Mewtwo that can be done on the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros., giving Mewtwo a custom moveset, YouTube user Mankalor shows.

For those of you that have already received Mewtwo, I’m sure you may have heard or noticed by now that he doesn’t have any official custom moves, so what’s done to achieve a custom moveset is Mewtwo seemingly inherits moves from a Mii fighter that’s transferred from the Wii U version of the game. Check out the crazy video below and watch what happens when you give Mewtwo moves he’s not meant to have!

What an episode have we got for you here today on this episode of the show on our website. If you like Donkey Kong Country 3 you should skip listener mail because Jack gets incredibly critical of it, going so far as to call it a game Rare must have developed during their bathroom breaks. Still, Austin has impressions of Affordable Space Adventures, so that should make up for it. Unless he’s right.

I suspect he is. Here are today’s chapters:

Shenanigans

1) Picture of the Day.
2) Game of the Week: Zoda’s Revenge: Star Tropics 2!

What we played

3) Austin needs no qualifications for space adventures. (Affordable Space Adventures)
4) Jack dedicated himself to tears. (MOTHER 3)
5) Austin walks through the valley of the shadow of death (Super Ghouls n Ghosts wrap-up)

Shenanigans Redux

6) Freetures (Because they’re free)
7) Mighty Switch Force music break

Listener Mail

8) Donkey Kong Country 3 is Rare’s “bathroom break” game, according to Jack.
9) Would we be down for more clay?
10) Project H.A.M.M.E.R., Halo DS, and more: Our favorite cancelled games.
11) Why is Art Academy for Wii U taking so long?
12) Diarrhea-like random questions.

Shenanigans Finale

Update by Brian: Cutting Room Floor, a website that specializes in unused/cut content, has been able to verify the authenticity of the Ryu sound files (thanks Anthony):

Of course, this doesn’t necessarily confirm that Ryu will be included as upcoming Smash Bros. DLC. We’ll just have to wait and see how everything pans out!

According to a poster on Reddit, who is claiming to be a part of the 3DS modding scene, there has been code discovered buried in the latest update to go live for Super Smash Bros. that would lead some to believe more characters will be to come in future DLC. It would appear that sound files have been interpreted as clues for two possible future additions.

One file is a Victory sound for Roy from the Fire Emblem series. The second one is also a sound file that includes the Ryu music from Street Fighter II. At this stage this is purely speculation as Nintendo has been known to leave unused data in games in the past.

We are sure we will see more DLC in the future for Super Smash. Bros. but for now this is just a rumor.

There’s a small but notable option hidden inside the Wii U that most system owners are likely unaware of. Essentially, users can either enable or disable a USB storage device’s sleep function while the Wii U is turned on.

The setting can come in handy for those who have an external hard drive connected to the Wii U. NeoGAF’s HUELEN10 explains the benefits of keeping the option disabled:

Let’s say you are playing a game in where you don’t save often and the drive spins down. Then, an epic cutscene comes up and the game saves before a boss and instead of doing it and moving on, the game gets delayed, possibly even choppy, while the drive is spun up again to save your game. The threshold for some drives is as little as 5 minutes too, and spinning your drive up and down like that over the course of hours for multiple times is very less than optimal.

If you’re interested in accessing this setting, follow these steps:

1. Boot up your Wii U.
2. Go to settings.
3. Go to data management.
4. Press and hold down on the D-Pad for half a second.
5. While holding down down on the D-Pad, press and hold the + and – buttons and keep holding them until you see the prompt above.
7. Select disable; you will be advised that this setting might consume more energy.
