3 character slots, 2 or 3 stage slots found in latest Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS patch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 192 Comments
Each time a new Smash Bros. patch is prepared, fans do a ton of data mining in hopes of finding some hidden secrets. There wasn’t anything too shocking in the game’s new 1.1.1 update, though a couple of interesting tidbits were recently discovered.
First, three empty character slots have been added with the patch. Six stage slots have been found as well (split between omega and standard versions). Regarding stages, two may have been for the Pirate Ship given their placement, so this is a bit unclear right now. Therefore it could be a total of two or three stages.
In the images above, all of the Marios are for character placeholders. Meanwhile, Tikibuzzes are stage placeholders. Note that there were only two character placeholders before the new update was issued.
What do these findings mean for the future of Smash Bros. DLC? Only time will tell!

Posted on 8 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
A brand new update is now up for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS following its maintenance, and with it comes a new batch of DLC.
We’ve known for a while now that the brand new Super Mario Maker stage would be making its way to Super Smash Bros. as downloadable content, but also included in today’s update is a stage making its return from Super Smash Bros. Brawl – the Pirate Ship stage.
Along with the brand new Pirate Ship stage – which is available as DLC exclusively on Wii U – the Duck Hunt stage from the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. is now making its way over to the 3DS version.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper update without more Mii Fighter costumes. Included in the brand new update and DLC are seven brand new Mii Fighter costumes, which are:
- Business Suit
- Fox Set (StarFox) (Gunner)
- Captain Falcon’s Outfit (Brawler)
- Toad (Brawler)
- Viridi Set – Kid Icarus (Sword Fighter)
- Hunter Set – Monster Hunter (Sword Fighter)
As usual with the Mii Fighter costumes, you can buy them individually or as a bundle for a discounted price.
Here’s the breakdown:
Super Mario Maker stage
3DS – $2.49
Wii U – $2.49
3DS/Wii U – $3.49
Pirate Ship stage
Wii U – $1.99
Mii Fighters
3DS – $0.75
Wii U – $0.75
3DS/Wii U – $1.15
Be sure to download the new update if it isn’t done automatically when you boot up the game to gain access to all of today’s new content.

Yacht Club Games doesn’t have much to say about rumors of Shovel Knight in Smash Bros.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 12 Comments
Rumors recently circulated about Shovel Knight potentially coming to Smash Bros. It’s not yet known if there’s any truth to the speculation, and as expected, Yacht Club Games doesn’t have much to say on the matter.
When asked by iDigitalTimes about the rumors, the studio’s Sean Velasco simply said: “No, we don’t have anything to say about that.”
Velasco again touched on the Shovel Knight amiibo as well, and explained how this is something the studio is prepared for.
“We’re the first third-party amiibo being made. Nintendo, they do this thing where they go to developers and tell them what’s next. We brought up amiibo, and they gave us a run-down of everything. We never thought we could do a third-party amiibo, but that’s what Nintendo’s plan was.”
“We already have a pretty big merchandise wing at Yacht Club. We make shovels and shirts and toys and things. We already had this set up to make something like this, and it was right in our wheelhouse. We’re manufacturing and distributing the thing ourselves, but Nintendo is there with oversight. They’ve helped us out every step of the way. We’ve been working on this deal for a year now, so it’s exciting to be able to tell everyone ‘here it is!'”
Rumor: Sources say Shovel Knight is coming to Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 49 Comments
If the latest rumors are to be believed, Shovel Knight will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS as a DLC character.
Nintendo Life heard the apparent news from “multiple sources within the video game retail sector”. However, Shovel Knight’s inclusion in the games has of course not been confirmed (or denied) at this time.
The announcement about Shovel Knight being added to Super Smash Bros. could be made within the next month or two. Development is said to be going well, and the character – who would be getting its own amiibo – may release sooner rather than later.

Voice actor sparks speculation about Professor Layton coming to Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 32 Comments
Update: (8/23): Bumped to the top. Miller has now posted another tweet saying that he has “no idea” if Layton will be in Smash Bros.
Original (8/22): In July, the IMDB page for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS was edited to include Christopher Robin Miller. This is the voice actor behind Professor Layton in the English version of the games. A couple of weeks back, a fan asked if the listing was true, which he denied.
Another fan once again asked Miller on Twitter today about being credited on IMDB for playing Professor Layton in Smash Bros. Interestingly, he indicated this time around that he did actually voice lines for the games.
There could be a few things going on here. Perhaps Miller has his wires crossed, and he’s incorrectly thinking that he voiced lines for Professor Layton in Smash Bros. Or maybe he’s joking. Another possibility, while it would be somewhat surprising due to the nature of NDAs, is that Miller let some information slip. What do you guys think?
