Smash Bros. 3DS listed as “coming soon” in Nintendo PR
Nintendo will be showing the first “images” of the next Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS at E3. The company’s promise should be a sign that development has progressed quite a bit. Release dates for both titles are still very much up in the air, but perhaps there’s a sign from the Big N that we’ll be seeing them sooner rather than later.
Nintendo recently published a set of facts covering the 3DS’ two-year anniversary. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Super Smash Bros., and Pokémon X/Pokémon Y are all listed as “coming soon”.
Take a look:
· Almost all of the existing library of Nintendo DS games can be played on the Nintendo 3DS systems.
· The Nintendo eShop offers access to hundreds of new and classic 2D and 3D games, video content and more.
· Over 700 games available or on the way for Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL since launching March 27, 2011.
Only on Nintendo 3DS:

Is this something or nothing? It may be the latter, but at least this is a glimmer of hope! Heck, at least Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about Smash Bros.
