Hi all. Through certain means, I managed to get some info on both versions of Smash 4. Take it however you will.
- Mewtwo will return from Melee.
- Ike, ROB, Lucas, and Pokemon Trainer all return from Brawl.
- Sheriff will be a newcomer.
- The WiiU version will have a Xenoblade stage based off of Colony 9. The 3DS version will have a stage from Rhythm Heaven.
- The talisman from Fire Emblem will be a new item. When equipped, it temporarily reduces knockback from opponent damage.
- Adventure mode will feature both a side scrolling stage and subsequent boss battle for most (but not all) character franchises. The 3DS' adventure mode will be about half as long as the WiiU's.
- Online mode will feature stock and coin battles this time in addition to time battles.
- The 3DS version will let you exchange and fight customized characters with other players via StreetPass.
- If everything goes as planned, the WiiU version will likely be the first of the two to be released, right around early fall. The 3DS version will probably follow up around the holiday season. Exact dates haven't been decided, but I assume they'll be announced sometime around E3.
