Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS

Now today’s screenshot is a tease and a half! Sakurai talks about the demo on the Japanese eShop perhaps coming outside of the region?


and that’s not all:

The only mode available on the demo version is Smash, but I also left open a feature called Tips. Just remember to tap that button. You’ll figure the rest out once you do.

 

With the demo now officially live in Japan, the internet has tonnes of gameplay footage for us to feast our eyes on. We’ll post everything we find after the jump so it’s all in one spot (be warned though, a few more embedded links than usual!)

No surprises here, today Sakurai has another pair of 3DS screenshots again focusing on more menus:

And here’s the results screen. It shows what you gained in each stage, but you won’t be rewarded until you clear it all. If you mess up in the middle, you can lose some of them too. The fighter icons are special attacks, and icons like the shield are equipment. The icons that say Mii on them are hats and clothes for Mii characters. Icons that show characters on a stand are trophies, of course, and the coins are gold you earned.

What better way to get hype for the Japanese release with more menu tidbits! Sakurai takes apart another menu today that touches on some 3DS specific features:

Some of you may consider this to be spoiler territory, so you can find the images after the break.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS was among the first round of titles confirmed to be supporting the New 3DS’ c-stick. However, we’re now hearing that the game won’t make use of the Circle Pad Pro on normal 3DS systems. A page on Nintendo’s official Japanese website specifically confirms this.

An image has popped up online showing a new Final Smash for King Dedede in the new Super Smash Bros. games. The shots reveal “Dede-Burst” – a move that sucks others in and attacks them multiple times with the hammer. Sound rather neat!

As the 3DS release draws closer and closer in Japan, Sakurai has been really doubling (or in this case tripling) down on screens! More Smash Run shots today:

Those red things in the picture are called danger zones, and if you touch one, you’ll get penalized by respawning farther back in the stage!! The danger zones disappear after someone else touches them, so fighters following those in the lead will have an advantage. You can still find speed boosts throughout the stage, so it’ll be a heated battle ’till the end!!

and another:

Here’s another final battle called “Climb!” Obviously, those that can jump or fly higher will have the advantage, but they also have to avoid the danger zones!! It gets pretty challenging if you’ve boosted your speed too much, as well. Everyone really gets into this when playing multiplayer.
