Super Smash Bros. for 3DS could be getting downloadable content – at least for stages – if a recent discovery is anything to go by.

Check out the following text that was found in the game’s ROM dump:

Set the stages that won’t appear, even when selection is set to random.
All Off
All On
Turn all stages off.
Make all stages available when using random stage selection.
See stages you have downloaded.
See all regular stages.
Select OFF to exclude this stage from random stage selection.
Select ON to include this stage in random stage selection.

Fans are saying that this matches the stage selection in additional rules perfectly. You’ll also see the missing square in the image above, which is just like in the stage selection screen. There’s speculation that this is where you’ll be able to select DLC.

The signs are certainly there, but if/when Nintendo confirms DLC for Smash Bros. remains to be seen.

The Ice Climbers are not included on the final roster for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS/Wii U. However, there does appear to be some last remnant of them in the 3DS version.

A glitch has been discovered in the Japanese release that results in a “Nana, Popo” chant. This can be heard by playing as Villager and defeating at least two Dr. Marios at once with 100% damage.

For what it’s worth, it doesn’t look like the glitch can be replicated in the US version of the game.

In today’s screenshot Sakurai talks a bit about Master Hand, the Smash Bros. staple waiting for challengers at the end of Classic mode:

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS managed to sell 944,644 copies at retail for its Japanese launch. According to sales tracker Media Create, that figured resulted in a sell-through rate of 93.45 percent.

Initial sales of Smash Bros. 3DS compare favorably to its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. That title sold 819,6467 copies at launch with a 94.37 percent sell-through rate.

Nintendo is celebrating its 125th birthday today having been established way back on September 23, 1889 (just turned 12 AM in Japan a few minutes ago). Congrats to the Big N!

As many of you know, Nintendo wasn’t a video game company in its early years. Nintendo started out as a card company before getting involved with other ventures like taxis, love hotels, a TV network, food, toys, and more.
