- Cool solo mode that kinda resembled Tower of Smash, at least the description. There was like a giant tower, and there's some unique enemies on each floor. The environment looked very traditional Japanese though
- Pichu and Squirtle returns. I have no idea if they were DLC, but it seems like they're on the starting roster. There was some Squirtle gameplay and he looked very combo oriented fighter + plays with water moves that push back opponents
- There's a mode that allows Wii U owners who don't have Smash to play limited matched with people who have the game. Basically download play. Now, the roster to choose from is limited and the only characters are ones from Sonic and they're not available on the normal roster. The characters are: Knuckles, Cream, Vector, and some other character, I think Amy
- New mode that allows the game to be played with N64 Smash graphics
- There was a weird anime video at one point. It was a short comedy starring random anime characters, but other than that idk. It didn't really relate to Smash at all
There was this part where some dude answered a bunch of questions from people. From what I can remember:
- There's a Metroid stage like Delfino Plaza, where it brings you to different spots. And the stage is based on 8 areas of Metroid II
- Ridley wasn't shown in the direct, but there's going to be a special day to reveal him (either as a stage hazard, or also playable, we don't know)
- He told us that Inklings from Splatoon most likely cannot become playable due to copyright issues (yeah, I have no idea...)
