- 5 players for all stages

Where was this confirmed? Great if true.

 

[RedSwirl]

 

[NewGame]

Smash bros is now even more of a party game.

 

[Zero²]

I feel like this will just be a giant mess.

Isnt that the point?

 

[Luigiv]

Just saw this on twitter

Looks good but if I did that, I wouldn't actually be able to play the game.

The WiiU really should have ha USB 3.0 (or atleast a couple more 2.0 ports on the back).

 

[Redrop]

Good luck finding seven real life friends who are into Nintendo characters and into fighting games.

Are you remotely aware of how much casual players like Smash Bros? Like at all? I know at least

Spoiler

12

people who would go bananas over this. Also, it has amazing potential for Twitch/videogame shows, and I guarantee that will net even more recognition to the mode (assuming the performance is good).

Anyways, I am utterly hyped for this. Frankly, this is much more of a selling point for me, especially since potential for making the game an interesting competitive platform looks disappointingly similar to Brawl.

 

[Sneaky Gato]

With this feature I expect this game to be on full time in college dorms across the country. Smash is already one of the most popular games and this can only help it.

 

[Thoraxes]

Oh man 4v4 team battles are going to be so fucking rad with all my friends.

 

[DizzyCrow]

One Wii U can connect with 8 3DS at the same time, WHY THE FUCK NOBODY HAS USED THAT FEATURE!?

- 5 players for all stages

Where does it say this? Since my group's 5 players big, this'd be the bees knees.

Not a problem fortunately.

[Tertullian]

Is it confirmed that 8 players is still 1080p, 60 fps? Because that's amazing.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Is it only wiimotion plus or can you use the og wiimote?

OG Wiimote is fine.

 

[jailbird20022]

So who's ready for some 8-player mirror matches

 

[SykoTech]

Now this is awesome. Remind me of Scrabble Mode in Street Fighter x Tekken, which my brother and I had a lot of fun with.

Sucks that it's local only, but at least bots can be used.

I figured the announcer was 'humorously' counting upwards and that there's really one eight-player mode with locked stages, not three seperate 5p/6p/8p modes. Still not clear to me, but here's hoping!

 

[Papercuts]

Just saw this on twitter

Oh god the mess of wires everywhere.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'd like the Treehouse to show off 8 player Smash.

 

[Twilight Gap]

nintendo always delivers.

need to find me a wii u

 

[-Horizon-]

Palutena's temple finally makes sense.

 

[Makai]

I still can't believe this is real. What a twist.

 

[Spinluck]

I can't believe 4v4 will actually be a thing. Holy shit.

 

[PreyingShark]

I figured the announcer was 'humorously' counting upwards and that there's really one eight-player mode with locked stages, not three seperate 5p/6p/8p modes. Still not clear to me, but here's hoping!

Later in the Direct you see that it's just one 8-Player Smash mode.

 

[Riposte]

Nice to see there's a point to Temple now.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

holy shiiiit megaton

 

[rekameohs]

Yeah it's pretty clear that this is what was going on.

 

[Loofy]

So the 3DS can handle 8 players on screen? thats impressive.

EDIT: oh nm, it isnt crossplay.

 

[Durden77]

8 Falcon Punches...

I hope Nintendo knows how many damages suits they're opening themselves up to. There will be broken TV's everywhere.

 

[Darryl]

Nice to see there's a point to Temple now.

No way. They needed a Temple 2. Show the original Temple, and then zoom out to find it just doubled in size.

 

[fredrancour]

Nice to see there's a point to Temple now.

Temple is already the greatest stage in smash history with only 4 players though.

 

[woopWOOP]

Later in the Direct you see that it's just one 8-Player Smash mode.

Yeah it's pretty clear that this is what was going on.

Dangit, so there's still a chance 5 players get locked out of the same stages as 8 players,

Guess I'll keep that hype in check.

 

[Simzyy]

So I can use the 3DS as a controller on the Wii U version without having the 3DS version of Smash right?

 

[KHlover]

Eight players in the Temple cave. Let the Smashing commence.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

How will that ever work controller wise?
Has anything confirmed yet?

Are you able to use 2 GC controller adapters on 1 console or?

It sounds amazing :O

[reKon]

I don't even... Fuck it why not? I want this shit. Means more kills for me!

 

[JimboJones]

The WiiU really should have ha USB 3.0 (or atleast a couple more 2.0 ports on the back).

They really defeated the purpose of adding 2 more than the original Wii by making most stuff require a Y cable.

It's confirmed that 2GC adapters at the same time work on Wii U.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Man, having 8 players at once would've made those lines to play it at Comic-con a whole lot shorter...

 

[Brutalitops]

This is going to be fucking terrible.

Preordered.

 

[Enforced]

I'd like the Treehouse to show off 8 player Smash.

Yeah same here. I would love to see that.

 

[Volotaire]

The Multi-Man Smash. Nothing to do with the more player mode or whatever.

I see, l'll remove it. My mistake.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

It's confirmed that 2GC adapters at the same time work on Wii U.

Thanks for that info.

wow awesome

 

[Nethaniah]

Is it confirmed that 8 players is still 1080p, 60 fps? Because that's amazing.

This game was 1080p to begin with? I doubt that.

 

[foxuzamaki]

No way. They needed a Temple 2. Show the original Temple, and then zoom out to find it just doubled in size.

That would be hilarious





want

 

[foxuzamaki]

This game was 1080p to begin with? I doubt that.

Did you not watch the direct? And even before that, since E3 2013 we've known the game was full 1080p

 

[Nethaniah]

Did you not watch the direct? And even before that, since E3 2013 we've known the game was full 1080p

Have not watched that yet, only been reading constant discussion on wether it would actually be 1080p, good a time as any to watch it i guess.

 

[SuperSah]

Just to confirm, this local only, right?

I really cannot imagine 8-player online working well at all.

 

[RyanPierre]

I get that Nintendo wants to sell amiibos, but this video makes the game seem very multiplayer unfriendly - like your friend needs to go out and buy an amiibo if he wants to be able to jump in the game and play.
