I found this rumor, although it is an image of an article.:

I do think November 21st is a possible release date, but don't trust the information inside the image, it may just be fake.

I'm gonna trust this for the most part. It's not entirely illegitimate, but it's not entirely believable at the same time.

So, I'm not really good at telling frame rates. Does it run at 60 FPS in 3D? I feel like it seems a bit slower, but that may just be because I'm looking for it to do so. Certainly not to the point of Dead or Alive where 3D cut the framerate in half, however.

 

I'm honestly really pleased with how nice the game looks. I'm using an OG 3DS and have no problems keeping track of my character even when it's very zoomed out. It might be more of a problem if there's a stage the size of, say, Hyrule Temple, but I'd hope they'd avoid stages that big in the portable version precisely to stay away from that issue.

Btw I don't know if you guys read this before or not but Smash Bros uses all of the 3DS's hardware...and I mean ALL of it's hardware

 

Which explains why it resets when you exit the game and why other functions on the 3DS won't work while Smash Bros is being played

Well that's to be expected considering that every Smash bros game that got released pretty much uses the entire memory/hardware of said system. So I'm not very surprised that this is happening to the 3DS as well since Smash bros for Nintendo 3DS is a VERY big game in terms of memory and content. I can only imagine how much hardware and memory Super Smash bros for Wii U will take for the Wii U.

Uh... What does 'The 3DS resets when you close out of it' mean? O.o

 

I'm confused.

I'm confused. 

When you close out of the demo, the system pretty much shuts off and boots back up. Took me a while to notice it.

Don't worry Hyrule Temple isn't in the 3DS version nor any of the big sized stages

 

Also,if you think Hyrule Temple is big,wait until you see Palutena's Temple in the Wii U version.....it's freakin HUGE

If this turns out to be true..........I hope Snake comes back I really do

The fact that Assist Trophies and Pokemon run at 30FPS is really starting to get annoying to me. They just look so different compared to the fighters.

[Shulk 8,623]

Well, November 21 was officially confirmed as the release date for Smash U.

That was announced waaaay back in the Smash Bros direct btw

I was about to post this dangit

 

Anyway it's just like SF4 and Injustice,it depends on the connections you'll run across

 

I hope we get an update that adds a connection bar next to the opponent you're facing

Nintendo's claiming that the France release date was a mistake. http://www.p-nintendo.com/news/smash-bros-for-wii-u-une-possible-date-pour-l-europe-238566.

 

I get a feeling they're just covering it up. It was the exact same as that earlier leak, and that can't be a coincidence.

I'm sure it's not a coincidence,and even if it wasn't on November 21th it'll be on November 28th at the very least

[Omega Ness 112]

Now that I think about it, lots of the Kirby enemies that were helpers in Super Star and Ultra could easily be Assist Trophies

 

 

Knuckle Joe (Who is already in)

Plasma Wisp

Blade Knight

Bonkers

ETCETC.

Yeah, it's probably real. Chances are that Japan will get it early November then. Only a month and a half of waiting.

Sakurai explained why Ice Climbers were not included in Smash 4

 

http://mynintendonews.com/2014/09/16/sakurai-explains-why-ice-climbers-arent-in-smash-bros-wii-u-and-nintendo-3ds/

 

 

originally they worked in the Wii U version no problem but because of the 3DS limitations they couldn't put it in the 3DS version so they removed them

 

And seeing how Sakurai said both versions will have the same roster I don't think Ice Climbers will be in the Wii U version

 

Maybe as DLC but then 3DS owners will get angry at why Wii U version would get exclusive characters(and I do know some people here with 3DS's will)

 

But hey I wouldn't mind if he brought them back in the Wii U version even if they needed to give the 3DS version an exclusive character

aww but they where such a pain to defeat in Melee! Where you had to get rid of Nana.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Actually there is a way to make Ice Climbers work on 3DS.....remove Nana and make her an alternate costume,buff One Ice Climber and give it a new recovery Up B

[SuperSmashDrake 48]

Oh I know. I just didn't get to experience it first hand until I played the demo.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

 

Oh god I don't even wanna think of rule 34 villager dammit Max

[Omega Ness 112]

So what is everyone hoping for in the Wii U Version?

 

I'm hoping for Stage Builder (Previously mentioned)

 

Some new modes (Pretty much a given)

 

Smash the Targets, everyone has their own stage, with Mii Fighters all having the same one, like Melee.

 

Some fun and new types for Special mode.

It sucks to hear that the 3DS version limits the Wii U version potential like this,I hope the Ice climbers are the only thing that was cut from the Wii U version due to the 3DS limitations,but I didn't use them all that much so I'm not really angry.

-I hope Break the target goes back to how it used to be in Melee and 64,each chatacter has his own stage.

-I hope Event match comes back

-I hope Adventure mode comes back with cool bosses a la Subspace Emissary

-I hope Boss battle comes back too

-I wouldn't mind if it doesn't comeback,but it would be nice if the stage builder returns

-I hope they bring back some N64 stages(but I don't think will)

-I don't know if it was confirmed for the Wii U version as well,but I hope they bring back some Melee stages

-And some new modes of course

 

And my wish list for the soundtrack:

 

Mario and Luigi Bower inside story Final boss theme

MegaMan 9 Galaxy Man theme

MegaMan 2 Bubble Man theme

MegaMan X Armored Armadillo and Storm Eagle theme

A remix of the Magmoor Caverns from Super Metroid/Metroid Prime

Dark Samus theme

Lorule Castle from ALBW

Bowser Jr boss theme from the Galaxy games

Yellow Devil theme from MegaMan 1

Sonic Lost World final boss theme

Sonic Generations Modern Green Hills,Chemical Plant and Rooftop Run

Pokemon Gen 1,2 and 4 Champion theme

Pokemon Gen 3 Elite Four battle

Xenoblade Chronicles Final Boss theme

That'd be cool...But it'd kind of take away from Ice Climbers unique style, not to mention it'd literally just be "Ice Climber" now. You might aswell just re-name him Popo. The main gimmick of IC was that there were two of them fighting together as one(almost). :

[Shulk 8,623]

I think I'm one of the few who's really upset that Ice Climbers were cut. I honestly wouldn't even mind if they were Wii U exclusive. I loved playing as them in Brawl, so it sucks to see them gone.

If seeing them get axe'd meant the 3DS version would run so smoothly, then they died for a good cause.
