Smash Wii U November 21, and we still hardly know anything about this one

[Boo_Destroyer]

Its pre-release days are numbered, and all we know about it are different stages and trophies.

When are we to expect any info on new modes and all until that day?

 

[JetpackX]

Soon my friend. Soon. Probably in a direct or in the last two weeks.

 

[Enigma14]

Your questions have been considered with last night's update.

 

[JetpackX]

Master **** and Crazy ****. Surprised the game doesn't have an M-rating after those names but eh, Nintendo logic I guess.

 

[AustarusIV]

We'll most likely get all the info we need in this month's upcoming Direct.

The matter of when the Direct will show up is another story.

 

[FalKoopa]

Well, the menu pics are pouring in

We're probably in for a Smash direct soon enough.

 

[ChrisP4]

Well, the menu pics are pouring in

We're probably in for a Smash direct soon enough.

I certainly hope so!

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Alright, I have this stupid theory.
So the week before last week we got 3 of the unlockable characters on Friday. The week after we got 2 more on Thursday. This week we got 2 more on a Wednesday, and I predict we'll get 2 more next Tuesday and then the final two the Monday after. It'll be that Monday that we'll get a direct announcement.

Don't ask me why

 

[TroperCase]

Makes sense that they don't want to overshadow the version that can actually be purchased at the moment. But we can see they're already slowly starting to ramp up that WiiU hype.

Aside from at least one more solo mode (the blurry Side\Order one) I'm also expecting something similar or larger in scope to Smash Run. If you hit the WiiU button on the 3DS version, you can see a washed out version of the WiiU menu that shows a button right where Smash Run belongs.

 

[Sergiomonty]

To be fair, a few months before the 3ds release Sakurai kept posting images of the Wii U version... so... yeah...

 

[R0Y]

He doesn't just have NA in mind. Europe and his home of Japan get the game about 2 weeks later. The game isn't done yet as Sakurai said in Famitsu. Might be a Direct after Bayo 2 comes out?

 

[ChikoLad]

Well that Amazon slip up happened and so now we know there is at least a Stage Builder, a board game mode, and "challenges crafted by Master Hand and Crazy Hand".

That, coupled with Sakurai's recent musings, leads me to believe there will be an official information blowout very soon, via Nintendo Direct or otherwise.
