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.
