Smash Wii U Sakuari: "I'm not done yet." - Teases Wii U game modes to be revealed soon!

[Kevandre]

With Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS out, creator Masahiro Sakurai's job is only half done. When one fan asked him how it felt to be done with the development on Super Smash Bros., he replied, "I'm not done yet..."

"Game development is very hard." Sakurai went on in his column in Weekly Famitsu. "You cannot get through it without sacrificing everything, including your own private life, and you often get hurt. However, I'm grateful that so many people have been involved, for the games that are completed, and all the people who play the games."

Moving on from the topic of the 3DS version of the game to the upcoming Wii U version, Sakurai addressed questions on the topic. On the subject of compatibility between the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game, Sakurai noted, "If you have the 3DS version of Smash Bros. you will be able to use your 3DS as a controller for the Wii U version."

Sakurai also added that players would be able to share customized fighters and Mii fighters between the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game.

As for differences between the versions of the game, Sakura stated that an announcement – possibly a Nintendo Direct – highlighting the exclusive features of the Wii U version that will show the "true potential of Smash Bros." was currently in the works and will be released soon.

Thoughts? Direct soon, looks like.

 

[Marthmario]

Get hype. My body is ready.

 

[SunnyDust]

Come on Nintendo! Just announce it already!

 

[Naoshi]

Sounds like there's going to be a lot of potential game modes that wasn't present in 3DS, as expected! Can't wait to see what he has cooked up. It doesn't sound like he's hinting at any new characters, but we shall see

 

[GoldWindRequiem]

Although I want Nintendo to release an actual Nintendo Direct, one not focused on just one game, I think a Smash Wii U direct would be very beneficial for the game, so much as Nintendo gets the word out.

 

[4theRECORD]

Hype. Knew it was coming, but exciting nevertheless.
I hope there's some info on the missing 3...

Feel the hype, friends.
Feel it rush through you.

 

[Kenith]

Considering the wealth of content for both versions of Smash the April Direct contained, I highly doubt this will only contain info regarding the Wii U exclusive modes. And since they are talking about both versions....

Character DLC hype.

 

[Frostwraith]

Let's not jump to conclusions yet, he seems to be talking more about the Wii U exclusive modes.

But why would he say "I'm not done yet" when the Wii U version is just a month away from being released? It does make one think...

 

[Ridel]

Hmmm this does seem interesting I wonder what other modes may be in the game.

Jump to conclusions?
He literally said that he's going to show more about the Wii U i.e. "true potential of Smash Bros".
It's confirmed, papa.

To late, conclusions have been jumped.
It doesn't effect me one way or another, I get to see more Wii U footage, so I'm good.

Character DLC hype.

Don't underestimate Nintendo Directs! Sometimes they have pretty overly lengthy segments over something. We don't know how big this Direct is going to be. So don't overhype yourself!

I agree.

As for his comment, I guess he can't flat out say "I'm done!" when the game isn't out yet. Shipping the game out is the last step after all.

It's confirmed, papa.

He was referring to those saying Character DLC and whatnot

I can overhype myself if I want to!
Never ever has hype resulted in me getting let down!
Nope. Not ever.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Just give us a date.

 

[TurnUp]

"True potential of Smash Bros."
Christ almighty, it's got to be 8 player smash.

Polishing up the game even further at the last-minute?

 

[DeiSakuChris]

Omfg, if there was a character DLC trailer with Wolf, Lucas, Mewtwo, the Ice Climbers and *cross fingers* Snake, I will lose my ****.

Like the trailer could begin as a Snake codec with all the mentionned veterans talking about "being rejected" and all and all.

Add in Ivysaur and you've got a deal.

 

[the8thark]

I'm on the hype train. Are you?

Needs Roy to be complete.

 

[Kenith]

I don't think we're going to be overburdened with that many characters.
If there's a DLC fighter unveiled it will be a very small amount.

 

[Kevandre]

I'm on the hype train. Are you?

Needs Roy to be complete.

Works for me.

Though just imagine how irritated people would be. Two Roy's and two Marth clones.

 

[LF2K]

Needs Roy to be complete.

But seriously, a possible Direct soon? Christmas came early this year!

 

[Knight Dude]

Add in Ivysaur and you've got a deal.

No body cares about Squirtle it seems.

I'm not expecting any character info. Unless it's a trailer for the remaining cast members in the 3DS version. DLC characters would be cool though. So if I'm a little more hopeful, we could see that instead.

 

[Marthmario]

Works for me.

Though just imagine how irritated people would be. Two Roy's and two Marth clones.

I wouldn't. I would be HYPED.

 

[the8thark]

Works for me.

Though just imagine how irritated people would be. Two Roy's and two Marth clones.

Seriously though, no matter what character you think of, there will always be at least someone who will complain about it. Every single included and cut character has their fans and haters.

But seriously, a possible Direct soon? Christmas came early this year!

Haha funny.
Seriously though if I was choosing DLC characters FE Roy would be my No.1 choice. But I'm not Sakurai and I have zero say in it.

And yes I think we all can not wait for this Nintendo Direct to explain Smash WiiU for us.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Works for me.

Though just imagine how irritated people would be. Two Roy's and two Marth clones.

I'd be amused at the fact Marth got two clones in the same game in that case. Even more so if they ALL have the same FS.

Where have I seen that before...

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Where have I seen that before...

Wolf is not a clone,though. He only has like a handful of moves that are similar to Fox out of all of his 23 moves. Same thing with Lucas in comparison to Ness.

 

[Naoshi]

Wolf is more of a conceptual clone... I think that's a good term for it. Basically a clone in concept, but very different in execution.

Exactly.
Wolf plays completely differently from Fox and Falco, but his moves draw from the same material.
I heard they were all based on Arwing functions but I haven't played very much Starfox.

True potential of Smash Bros.

S-Sakurai calm down...

 

[Robertman2]

My head exploded...

 

[Strofirko]

Not hyped at all.

 

[GideonSmash]

I would be very happy when the game's out on december 5th!!!

But...

On the other hand... I'm gonna miss these kind of things a lot! All this hype and all this speculation about the game. Listening to gameXplain's dicussions everytime a bit of news comes out, for those who know what I'm talking about... It's actually really sad it has to end ...

It will not be the end, but rather a new beginning.

"True potential of Smash Bros."
Christ almighty, it's got to be 8 player smash.

If it happens, I'll feel so angry about the lack of Ice Climbers... So angry...

 

[Greninja'd]

The "true potential of Smash." This isn't even my final form.
Anyways I think we're all dying for a direct.

 

[Robertman2]

Not hyped at all.

Lies.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

It was already dumb in the first place, considering the whole "roster equality" philosophy meant they were cut from the Wii U version, even though they worked perfectly fine there, because of the limitations of the 3DS.
